Creamsource, maker of artisan LED lighting for film and television, has unveiled the Vortex24 Soft (V24S), a 1950W native soft light and the largest soft source in the Vortex range. With its all-black body, the Vortex24 Soft delivers smooth, bright, beautifully even light at scale. It's powered by the same proven Vortex platform crews trust as a workhorse on set, bringing the efficiency of a dedicated soft source with the reliability and familiarity of a fixture they already know.
Soft and Hard: Different Tools, Same Family
Diffusing the Vortex24 hard panel through domes or bounce inevitably reduces output. The Vortex24 Soft delivers over 190,000 lumens natively, spreading double the output of the Hard across a wide 110 beam. The result is more usable light across the field and brighter coverage off-axis.
Because it's designed as a native soft source, the Vortex24 Soft can be placed closer to camera and talent in space-constrained stages and reduce the number of fixtures required for softboxes or overhead rigs.
The original Vortex24 remains the go-to when productions need directional punch and versatility, but for applications demanding wide, efficient softness, the Vortex24 Soft is the purpose-built solution.
Technical Specifications Beam Angle: 110 (Half Peak)
Power Draw: 1950W max, 100 240V AC; standard 20A circuits
Light Source: RRGBBW (red deep red, green, blue royal blue, white)
Pixel Control: 24 zones for nuanced lighting effects and creative control
Rigging: 8 LNX sockets 8 3/8" points for flexible mounting
IP65 Rated: Weather-ready; built for tough conditions
Weight & Size: 49.47 kg / 109.1 lb, 1331.8 x 971 x 258 mm / 52.5 x 38.2 x 10.2 in. (including yoke yoke handles)
Photometrics: 193,837 lumens. 7,822 lux @ 3m (3200K, Open Face)
The Vortex Ecosystem The Vortex24 Soft isn't a one-off. It's part of a system trusted across the industry. With the LNX mounting system, Vortex panels lock together quickly, with minimal gaps between fixtures for a cleaner build and a seamless field of light.
Control is unified through CreamOS, providing a consistent interface across the range. At the core is CCMS (Creamsource Colour Management System), which uses the RRGBBW LED mix to deliver colour accuracy and consistency across the lineup. Each pixel zone is factory-calibrated, with real-time feedback that keeps colour locked even at low dimming levels or shifting temperatures. Operating natively in CIE xy colour space, CCMS ensures precision and repeatability that productions can depend on.
And with a five-year warranty, the entire Vortex ecosystem is backed for long-term reliability on set.
Lighting is a toolkit, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Sometimes crews need punch, sometimes softness, often both together. The strength of the Vortex ecosystem is giving that choice without adding complexity. By keeping the platform consistent, from rigging to CreamOS to colour management, we're helping crews move faster, trust the results, and focus on the creative. Tama Berkeljon, CEO, Creamsource Pricing and Availability The Vortex24 Soft is available for pre-order now, with shipping beginning early Q4 2025. For more information, visit www.creamsource.com.
