The Skylux is one of the newest light sources in the Westcott lineup and packs 1000 watts of dimmable continuous light. Continuous lighting can be used for both photography and videography. The Skylux is daylight-balanced at 5600 degrees kelvin, providing a very clean color temperature.

All of this is possible due to the Bowens S-type mount built right into the Skylux.
