We first saw the Aladdin Flex lights at IBC last year. The product has undergone a lot of changes since then and there is now a bi-colour version, larger sizes and a clever dimmer and battery plate solution available.

A dimmer unit can have a v-lock or Anton Bauer battery plate attached to the back of it that offers an all-in-one solution for controlling and powering the light.

The Flex lights can be used in the harshest of conditions and are water resistant, making them ideal for news and documentary shooters out in the field.
