NEW Hive Lighting Hornet 200-C Open Face Omni-Color LED

Hive's economical 200-C package is an open-face Omni-Color LED light designed for fast, flexible color control on set. A simple open face exposes Hive’s 180° dome diffuser, giving you broad, even output that’s easy to shape with modifiers and flags. Brighter than a 1000W incandescent and 2.5X brighter than the original Wasp 100-C.

Output and Color Quality for Film and Video

With a 150W draw and a 700–1000W incandescent equivalent output, the Hornet 200-C is built to deliver high-impact punch without the heat and power demands of traditional fixtures. High color fidelity (up to 98 CRI / 97 TLCI) helps maintain accurate skin tones and consistent color reproduction for interviews, product work, and narrative lighting.

Omni-Color Controls and Tunable White Range

Dial in looks quickly with 360° hue control, plus 0–100% dimming and 0–100% saturation control for anything from subtle practical-matching to vivid, stylized effects. The adjustable 1,650K to 8,000K color temperature range covers warm tungsten-inspired ambience through crisp daylight, helping you blend with available light or create intentional contrast.

Control Options and Power Flexibility

The Hornet 200-C supports manual control, DMX, and smartphone control, making it easy to integrate into both compact crews and DMX-based lighting systems. Power options include 24–36V input via XLR and 100–240V input via a universal wall/battery solution for adaptable use in studios or on location.

Compact Form Factor for Rigging and Travel

Measuring 9 in (229mm) long by 4 in (100mm) in diameter and weighing 2.6 lb (1.3 kg), the Hornet 200-C is compact enough for tight spaces, lightweight rigs, and mobile kits while still offering the spread and control benefits of its open-face, dome-diffused design.
