The Image 87 DMX fixture’s large soft light coverage and its small, energy footprint, combined with the ease of rigging compared to tungsten lighting sources makes it the darling of motion picture and television visual effects designers.
The relatively cool source takes about six different coloured visual effects lighting colours, but most notably the specialized Kino Flo spiked blue and spiked green tubes for deep, rich saturation of colour when lighting blue and green coloured cyclorama stages.
The Image 87 and 47 are soft, broad lighting sources. In the film world, the Image 87 is probably the most popular light for lighting blue and green screens because of its even cast of light and individual lamp control. It is also a popular light on stage and location used outside of a window, a large front or side fill, or as a top light.
