The 2015 NAB Show is stacking up to be quite exciting playing host to some exciting speakers as well a bevy of new product announcements from a variety of manufacturers including Zylight.
Leading manufacturer of intelligent LED lighting instruments for film and video production, Zylight will debut a new on-camera light, the Newz.
To celebrate this and so everyone has a chance to give it a try, Zylight is encouraging attendees at the 2015 NAB Show in Las Vegas to “Spread the Newz” via Twitter. During the #SpreadTheNewz NAB Giveaway, Zylight will award one Newz each day during the show to someone who tweets about the new compact light.
The Newz is small, premium camera top light ideal for broadcast news and run-and-gun shooting applications. The Newz is a variable white light with brightness settings from tungsten (3200K) to daylight (5600K) that provides a 60-degree beam spread at full width half maximum (FWHM) for a soft falloff around the edges. With quantum dot technology and proprietary LED chips, the fully dimmable Newz delivers a very high quality of light for true color reproduction rivaling Zylight’s flagship F8 LED Fresnel.
Charlie Collias, senior vice president of worldwide sales for Zylight says “Zylight is very proud of our Newz on-camera light because it really delivers a higher quality of light than the other low-cost LED camera lights on the market…we want everyone to know about it, and we’re looking forward to seeing all the creative ways NAB attendees will help us ‘Spread the Newz.’”
The 4 day contest begins on April 13 at 8 a.m. PDT and concludes on April 16 when the NAB exhibit hall closes at 2 p.m. PDT.
Entrants should tweet to @Zylight with the hashtags #SpreadTheNewz and #Zylight included in the message. Zylight will randomly select one tweet from each day’s tweets to receive a free Newz on-camera light. NAB attendees are also encouraged to include photos of the Zylight booth (C8043) in their tweets.

Designed primarily for ENG and similar remote shoots, the Newz is a variable white light with brightness settings from tungsten (3200K) to daylight (5600K) that provides a 60-degree beam spread at full width half maximum (FWHM) for a soft falloff around the edges.

The Newz is the first light available on Zylight’s new compact ZX platform. The unit comes complete with an articulated arm and custom barn doors so no need to spend another $200 in accessories just to use it. The Newz also features ZyLink™, Zylight’s wireless technology and can be linked to multiple Zylights for simultaneous remote control.
