Vortex2 and Vortex2 Soft are two new compact lights from Creamsource offering the same CreamOS workflow, colour science, rugged build quality and IP65 weather resistance of its existing Vortex family, but in a smaller 160W form factor.
Vortex2 is the more directional fixture, with a tighter 20° beam angle, while the Vortex2 Soft has a native 110° spread for broader, softer coverage.
At 6kg without the yoke, V2 Series lights are easy to move and set up. They have built-in LumenRadio, etherCON, pass-through DMX, and pass-through power, designed for efficient daisy-chaining and practical multi-unit configurations, particularly longer linear arrays.
Several new rigging features were developed specifically for the V2, including a centre mount gooseneck. The front-load accessory mounting system first introduced with the Vortex Soft Series also carries over to both fixtures, alongside multiple LNX and 3/8in rigging points, plus a new 3-pin XLR DC input for portable battery operation.
