I've wanted these lights since this kit came out, then a project came along that could justify them. They are fantastic lights, great color, incredible flexibility, and the dimmer is so helpful. There are a ton of cords, so I got some REI packing cubes to store all of them. It's awesome how light the lights are, they can be hung from anything, or fit in existing modifiers. An incredible tool!

The Future of Film and Photo Lighting
The Flex is a pliable, dimmable, water-resistant LED mat for video production and photography that produces an outstanding quality of light in both daylight, tungsten and bi-color models. This cutting-edge technology is available in North America and Canada exclusively through Westcott Lighting.
Total Performance
The fully-bendable Westcott Flex features a ultra-thin surface lined evenly with LED diodes. The outer edge is lined with a durable wire framework and protective leather finish, allowing the Flex to be molded into various shapes, then remain in place once positioned. The bendable Flex's ultra-compact design allows it to be easily concealed in tight spaces on-set, on-location and during travel. The Flex provides stable light consistency and flicker-free output, making this light source an ideal solution for filmmakers. This unique light source also boasts an IP rating of 64, making it water-resistant and rainproof.
The Highest LED Light Quality
The Flex LED mat is available in tungsten, daylight and bi-color versions. Although extremely compact in size, their output is anything but small. The Westcott Flex's surface area is strategically lined with high-quality LEDs, offering between 1,700 to 10,500 lux at 1 meter, depending on mat size. Flex mats boast remarkably high color purity as well, producing an outstanding quality of light. With Color Rendering Index (CRI) ratings of 95 and 98, these lights portray accurate shades and skin tones for faster post-production editing.
Complete Light Control
The flat Flex's 140 deg. light output provides a wide angle of light spread. Easily roll the Flex mat and insert into a space light or lantern for 360 deg. of light spread. For a more narrow or dramatic beam of light, simply fold the Flex to the desired opening. The Flex includes a convenient dimmer to adjust light output from 5% to 100% for 1' x 3' light and 0% to 100% for 1' x 2'lights . An optional 16' waterproof extension cable offers versatility when you need extra length.
Flex Cine Kits
Cutting-edge Westcott Flex mats pair perfectly with Westcott's new Scrim Jim Cine system, offering the ultimate in lighting control. Flex and Scrim Jim Cine Frame combinations offer many output options, sizes and fabrics. Scrim Jim Cine Frames are the next generation of modular, lightweight and ultra-portable filmmaking tools.
