M18C Max Full-Color Inflatable Soft Light

The M18C Max is a 1 ft x 8 ft full-color inflatable fixture designed for fast setup, lightweight rigging, and smooth soft-light output across a long linear surface. Its extended tube-like format makes it especially useful for vertical soft sources, edge light, overhead accents, car interiors/exteriors, product lighting, reflective surfaces, and tight set environments where a long, controllable soft source is needed.

The M18C Max incorporates a sophisticated RGBWY full-spectrum color engine with continuous CCT adjustment from 1700K to 20000K, extended x,y chromaticity control, calibrated G/M adjustment (±100), HSI color mixing, and more than 600 digital color filters. Engineered for cinematic color reproduction, it delivers TLCI 98, CRI 95, TM-30 Rf 94 / Rg 101, SSI 85T / 74D, exceptional skin-tone rendering across R9 (90), R13 (94), and R15 (94), and calibrated white-light performance with Δuv -0.0004 for precise fixture matching. 

The M18C Max offers extended 1 ft x 8 ft coverage with 200W output, making it well suited for location lighting, long highlight reflections, close-proximity soft light, RGB effects, and coordinated multi-fixture environments.  If you need a shorter length, the 4ft long MC14C Max is for you.  The 1ft diameter family also offers a 16ft (M16C Max) and even a 28ft long unit (M128C Max).

About the Air Lux MAX Series

The Pheon Lux M18C Max is part of the Air Lux Max Series, a family of full-color inflatable LED soft lights designed for professional film, broadcast, studio, and location production. Combining a lightweight air-cushion structure with advanced color control, the Max Series delivers a large soft source that deploys quickly, adapts easily to space-limited environments, integrates into modern wired and wireless workflows, and packs compactly for transport.

The Air Lux Max series is packed with the latest technological advances: pixel-mapping workflows, multi-zone DMX personalities, CRMX synchronization, and advanced color-management tools.  These are the lights of choice for modern cinema, broadcast, virtual production, and effects-driven environments.

With full-spectrum RGBWW color mixing, continuous CCT adjustment, green/magenta correction, xy color control, dynamic multi-pixel effects, and support for professional wired and wireless control protocols, the Air Lux Max Series is designed not only as a soft-light platform, but as a coordinated lighting ecosystem.

Pheon Lux fixtures are engineered for creating large-scale synchronized lighting environments where multiple fixtures can operate as a unified system. Advanced multi-pixel functionality allows users to generate preset or fully customized animated effects that extend across numerous fixtures simultaneously, creating coordinated movement, dynamic color transitions, environmental simulations, and large-scale lighting sequences for studio production, virtual production, live events, and cinematic effects work.

APPLICATIONS

The format and scale of the M18C Max is especially effective for long edge light, vertical soft-light placement, overhead accents, product lighting, vehicle interiors, reflective surfaces, RGB effects, immersive environments, and location production where a lightweight extended source is useful.

Passive cooling allows silent operation with no internal fixture fans, making the fixture suitable for interviews, narrative production, sound-sensitive environments, and close-proximity placement near talent without introducing unwanted noise.

The Air Lux Max Series is designed for cinematography, broadcast production, commercial production, music videos, virtual production, photography, live events, stage environments, and large-scale coordinated lighting installations where rapid deployment, lightweight construction, compact transport, and advanced lighting control are essential.

The inflatable air-cushion design allows large-format fixtures to pack significantly smaller than traditional framed soft sources, making them easier to transport, rig, and deploy while maintaining broad, soft illumination characteristics.

Beyond functioning as large-format soft lighting, Pheon Lux fixtures are designed for coordinated multi-fixture environments where multiple lights can function as a single dynamic lighting system. Multi-pixel functionality allows preset or custom animated effects to span multiple fixtures simultaneously, enabling synchronized motion effects, environmental simulations, animated backgrounds, stage effects, and large-scale color sequences.

SPECIFICATIONS

CONTROL & POWER

The M18C Max supports a professional cross-protocol control environment for both simple standalone operation and advanced multi-fixture workflows. Control options include the Pheon Link app, local controller, CRMX, Wi-Fi, wired/wireless DMX512, and 2.4G wireless control, allowing the fixture to integrate with a wide range of production environments.

For console-based control, DMX512 and CRMX support allow the fixture to be used in professional studio, broadcast, live production, and virtual production environments. CRMX provides wireless DMX control when cable runs are not practical, while app-based control allows fast setup and adjustment during smaller productions or location work.

The Max Series also includes XY-axis color adjustment, green/magenta correction, full-color control, grouping control, and built-in dynamic effects. These functions make the fixture useful not only as a large soft source, but also as a creative color tool for effects, ambience, background color, and synchronized multi-light environments.

The M18C Max operates from AC 100V-240V or DC 14.8V-26V power. Confirm battery compatibility and power accessories before ordering.
