The pursuit of cinematic brilliance has always revolved around light — how it’s shaped, softened, controlled, and deployed in environments both hostile and refined. In an age where portability, flexibility, and precision must coexist on demanding sets, Pheon Lux has stepped forward with a product that might just redefine expectations: the Air Lux II series.

Now available through Cirro Lite, the Air Lux II range is a compelling synthesis of high-quality light output, intuitive control, and rugged construction — all housed within a self-inflating, field-ready form factor that screams modern production efficiency.

It’s not hyperbole to say that Air Lux II might be one of the most exciting developments in inflatable lighting since the concept was first floated. Lightweight, reliable, and packed with thoughtful engineering, these fixtures cater not only to seasoned gaffers on major sets but also to lean, mobile crews who refuse to compromise on quality.

Engineered for Illumination, Designed for Set Life

At the heart of the Air Lux II philosophy is simplicity — but not at the expense of sophistication. These fixtures are built to perform in the real world, where time is limited, setups must be fast, and every ounce of gear counts. The self-inflating feature alone is a game-changer.

Each fixture includes a battery-powered integrated fan, allowing for hands-free inflation at the touch of a button. No tubes. No external pumps. No stress. Inflation is near-instantaneous on the smaller units and takes mere minutes on the largest formats. A backup AC-powered pump is included, offering failsafe redundancy — the kind that production professionals rightly expect.

Whether you’re rigging lights in a cramped interior, hauling gear up a rocky hillside, or working against the clock on location, Air Lux II lights are built to keep up.

True Soft Light, Without the Weight

Quality soft light is a non-negotiable in film and television — but traditionally, achieving it meant wrestling with large modifiers, heavy diffusion, and space-eating rigs. The Air Lux II series changes the equation.

Available in both panel and tube form factors, the fixtures produce an exceptionally soft, controllable source. Their high-quality spectrum is engineered with fully developed colour software, offering precise G/M adjustment, rich saturation control, and smooth low-end dimming — critical for matching practicals or dialling in subtle scene transitions.

The included soft eggcrate grid takes beam shaping further, delivering directional control without compromising the integrity of the source. It’s not just about looking good on paper — it’s about looking right through the lens.

Intuitive Control for the Modern Workflow

Lighting control in 2025 demands more than knobs and dials — it requires connectivity. Air Lux II delivers on this front with built-in Lumen Radio and WiFi capabilities, ensuring the fixtures integrate seamlessly into wireless DMX networks or can be controlled via the Pheon Lux app, available as an optional add-on.

Whether you’re using a console in a multi-light setup or managing your key fill from a tablet during handheld movement, control is quick, responsive, and intuitive. That’s no small feat on a chaotic set.

It’s worth noting how well these lights balance simplicity and sophistication. There’s enough tech here to satisfy the most demanding DP, but it’s never fussy. Plug it in. Power it up. Inflate. Light. Adjust remotely. Done.

Power That Travels

A standout feature of the Air Lux II fixtures is the integration of V-Lock battery inputs directly onto the ballast. This design choice eliminates the spaghetti-like mess of external battery plates and dangling cables. For mobile shoots, remote locations, or situations with unreliable power, the Air Lux II becomes a dependable ally.

Simply lock in your preferred battery, and the fixture is ready to roll. Whether running on generator, battery, or mains, the system transitions cleanly between power modes — a hallmark of smart, robust engineering.

Built to Last — and Service

Despite their inflatable design, these are not delicate toys. The Air Lux II line is built with rugged durability in mind. Designed for the rigours of location work as much as the controlled environment of the studio, each unit is serviceable, with accessible components and replaceable parts. That means when something goes wrong (and eventually, something always does), your kit isn’t down for the count.

And for those concerned about long-term usability, Cirro Lite’s support and service commitment provides peace of mind — the kind that production managers and rental houses value when selecting new kit for inventory.

Value in Every Detail

Pheon Lux has made a bold claim with this range: “Unmatched value for premium film lighting.” But based on what’s included — professional-grade soft lighting, wireless control, self-inflation, durable design, and intuitive setup — the value proposition is hard to contest.

Even better, the complete Air Lux II lineup is now available for hands-on demo in Cirro Lite’s showroom. From slim tubes ideal for car interiors to larger panels perfect for beauty lighting or ambient scene washes, the variety of shapes and sizes means there’s likely a solution for every use case.

Final Thoughts

The Air Lux II series isn’t just another lighting range — it’s a rethink of how soft lighting can work on set. It strips away bulk without sacrificing quality, adds control without complicating setup, and packages it all in a format that moves, inflates, and performs with the kind of ease that modern production workflows demand.

In an industry that often trades ruggedness for elegance or power for portability, Pheon Lux has found the sweet spot — and illuminated it brilliantly.
