Features:
Size matters and looks count.
The K7 is compact, highly versatile and just plain cool.
Designed for easy focusing and a great quality of light.
The K7 has become very popular as set and museum display lighting. It takes up very little space and delivers a wide range of lighting option.
The K7 is attached via a strong neodymium magnet and can be focused in any direction. Beam control is obtained by the use of quick change lenses and honeycombs.
The K7 comes with a 3W LED at 2700ºK, 3000ºK or 4000ºK LED. With a diameter of 35mm the K7 is suitable for most setups.

Driver Options:
AC Drivers for K7 Twist
Mean Well LCM_25
(25Watt driver runs up to 8 K7’s on full power)
Mean Well LCM_40
(40Watt driver runs up to 13 K7’s on full power)
Mean Well LCM_60
(60Watt driver runs up to 20 K7’s on full power)
DMX Controller/Decoder
Ltech LT-858-CC (4 Channel DMX Controller/Decoder)
Option to run K7’s on individual DMX Channels.
Note!: The controller(s) needs a PSU equivalent to the power usage of the total amount of K7.
Example #1: 4x4K7 = 4x4x3Wx1Amp = 48Watt
Example #1: 4x10K7 = 4x10x3Wx1Amp = 120Watt

Testimonials
As studio lighting technology has evolved through the years, the Mississippi State University Television Center upgraded fixtures in a piecemeal approach as our limited budget allowed. Over time, this created a studio environment where nothing matched; we were running a combination of incandescent, fluorescent, and early generation LED lighting all on the same sets. This annoyed our shade technicians and producers, all of whom just wanted a consistent color balance and instrumentation quality.
We've known of the remote phosphor technology pioneered by BB&S for several years and at the 2023 National Association of Broadcasters show, we started discussing seriously the possibility of starting over with our studio lighting plot. Working with the BB&S sales team, we identified instruments that met our production and budget needs and designed a new plot for our studio sets. We also made the decision to transition away from 3200K color temperatures and embrace the 5600K lighting available on the market today.
We transitioned to the BB&S lighting in the winter of 2024. The setup and installation were straightforward, and we've been pleased with the look on camera (though I'm still trying to get used to 5600K in person)! Our color temperature is consistent across all areas of the studio set and the light intensity is within ten footcandles. The soft lighting provided by the Reflect series instrumentation is an improvement over the hodgepodge of soft and hard lighting we were used before; it's created a much nicer look for our studio programming.
The build quality of the Reflect series is solid, with a metal housing that feels secure enough to survive a drop from the lighting grid (though I imagine the manufacturer would discourage this). Though we are very early in our lighting experience with BB&S instruments, we have found them to be highly dimmable and significantly more energy efficient than our old instrumentation. We look forward to working with the Reflect series in our facility and anticipate a long relationship with the company.
