During NAB 2023, Aladdin released brand new inflatable tube lights. The lights, which are part of Aladdin’s MOSAIC line of lights, are very compact and easy to travel with. Within 2 minutes, you can inflate the tube and assemble the light.
We caught up with Kevin from Aladdin Lights, who showed us the new inflatable tube lights, which come in two sizes and output strengths. There will be a 4-foot version with 100W output and an 8-foot version with 200W of output available. Simply inflate the tube and attach it to the RGBWW LED strip with velcro.
The new lights share the same wired dimmer as the rest of the company’s MOSAIC flexible lights (see our first look of the MOSAIC line). Alternatively, you can also use the existing MOSAIC smartphone app, which connects to the light via Bluetooth and controls intensity, color temperature, and special effects wirelessly. These lights also offer lumen radio and wired DMX support for controlling the fixtures.
The lights also include a skirt to shape the light, which you can attach to the light with velcro. Aladdin is also talking to DoPchoice about possible grid options in the future.
Aladdin sells the lights in a kit that packs up into a soft-shell case. A manual pump is included, and it takes about 2 minutes to inflate the tube, rig the light, and attach the tube to the light.
The new inflatable tube lights will be available in mid-June 2023, and will cost $2000 USD for the 4ft version and $3000 USD for the 8ft version.
What do you think about Aladdin lights? Do you have any experience working with them? Do you see a use for inflatable tube lights in your daily production work? Please share your thoughts with us in the comment section below.
More information can be found on the Aladdin website.
