Overview
Hive Lighting's Wasp Plasma Par is their most versatile light source that can be plugged directly into your wall socket. Using a single micro-star plasma bulb, the Wasp is configurable as a Par, a Leko Spot, or a Maxi; this is the Plasma Par Kit, which includes a power supply.
The Wasp 250 accepts light modifiers, such as four-point and eight-point softboxes, photo umbrellas, traditional glass lenses, and Hive's unique HDP lenses.

- Adjustable color temperature between 4,600K and 6,500K CCT (plus moonlight VFX)
- Easily powered with 90-300VAC or 18-38VDC
- Flicker-free, 30,000 hour bulb life
- Vibration and impact-resistant
- Capable of producing output equivalent of 575 Watt HMI or up to a 4K HMI when combined into a 6-light frame.
About Hive Plasma
Plasma combines the daylight balance and high output of HMIs with the energy efficiency, reliability and durability of LEDs, but exceeds both in color rendering and spectrum. Plasma emitters use a single point-source bulb, with no electrodes or filaments. Instead, the quartz bulb is filled with a blend of noble gases and metal salts to make an inert gas. When this gas is excited it shifts its state of matter from gas to plasma, which results in an incredibly powerful light source.
These lights produce far less heat than HMIs and Tungsten bulbs. They do get warm, but according to Hive you can touch them without gloves and move them around while they are on.
They also produce no sound. Hive plasma lights are silent due to solid state electronics.
Please also note that Hive Plasma can be used with chroma blue or green screens.
