Spread the Newz: Zylight Unveils
New On-Camera Light
Live news reports from the ﬁeld are about to get brighter...

Z

ylight, a leading manufacturer of
innovative, premium LED lighting
solutions, will introduce the Newz, a
compact on-camera light designed for
broadcast news and other run-and-gun
shooting applications, at the 2015 NAB
Show. The variable white light includes
brightness settings from tungsten
(3200K) to daylight (5600K), while a
unique articulated arm design allows
shooters to easily adjust the height and
angle of the light.
Designed primarily for ENG and
similar location shoots, the Newz
includes custom barn doors and
provides a 60 degree beam, spread
at full width half maximum (FWHM)
for a soft falloff around the edges.
With quantum dot technology and
proprietary LED chips, the fully
dimmable
Newz
delivers
very
high quality light for true colour
reproduction, on par with the
company's ﬂagship product, the F8

LED Fresnel.
"The Newz is not your ordinary
on-camera light. It produces a
signiﬁcantly higher quality of light,
that's comparable to the output
of our larger, world-class lighting
instruments," explained Joe Arnao,
President of Zylight. "It is a soft but
punchy light that complements skin
tones, so reporters in the ﬁeld and the
people they interview will look their
best."
Bright like an HMI, the Newz
stays cool to the touch and draws
signiﬁcantly less power. It also
features ZyLink, Zylight's wireless
technology, so it can be linked to
multiple Zylights for simultaneous
remote control.
According to Arnao, "Our products
are used by some of the most
demanding
news
organisations
throughout the world, because of our
light quality and our build quality.
