When it comes to filmmaking, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. That’s why filmmakers are always on the lookout for the latest and greatest tools to enhance their storytelling. Just as the DSLR revolution transformed the industry a decade ago, we are now witnessing the dawn of the LED lighting revolution, with exciting new products hitting the market regularly.

Building on their success as a light source in Rogue One, Digital Sputnik has recently unveiled their latest creation: Voyager. This groundbreaking product offers tunable color temperature, hue, and saturation that can be controlled right from your phone.

All-Inclusive Design: Convenience and Portability

The Voyager units combine the light source, battery, and controls in one compact lighting unit. This is especially exciting for filmmakers who are tired of lugging around bulky battery units or dealing with long cables on set. With Voyager, you can significantly reduce the size of your lighting setup.

As a traveling filmmaker, I’m always on the lookout for ways to streamline my kit without compromising quality. The Voyager light seems to be the perfect solution for achieving just that.

Fully Controllable From Your Phone: Convenience at Your Fingertips

One of the most anticipated features of the Voyager is its ability to be completely controlled from your device. With an iOS or Android app, you can easily adjust color temperature, hue, saturation, and intensity without even touching the fixture. Need to quickly switch color balance or tweak the hue of your light? Just pull out your phone. No more running across the set to make adjustments on the back of the unit.

The fixture also includes two slots where you can insert your favorite Lee or Rosco filters.

Underwater Capabilities: Lighting the Depths

The Voyager is one of the first lighting units that can be submerged up to two meters for up to thirty minutes. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for underwater lighting. Additionally, these lights can also withstand normal wet conditions.

Features and Options: Versatility at Your Fingertips

The Voyager is available in both 2 ft and 4 ft options. The 2 ft option consumes 20 W of power, while the 4 ft option consumes 40 W.

Although not yet available on the market, the Voyager lights have already been used in some remarkable commercials and productions. One notable example is the WWDC Launch video from Apple. While the specific scenes where the light was used are undisclosed, it’s impressive that an early prototype made its way onto such a prestigious set.
