Welcome to Cineo Maverick

Cineo Lighting has developed the versatile
Cineo Maverick Remote Phosphor light
source. Maverick operates from many power
options, including AC, DC and battery power.
The power connection uses an industry­standard XLR4 connector with an input
voltage range of 10.8 to 28 VDC. Like all
Cineo soft lights, Maverick allows the user
to change the Remote Phosphor panels,
supporting CCT of 2700K, 3200K, 4300K,
5600K, 6500K, Chroma Blue and Green.
Their color quality perfectly matches all other
Cineo soft lights, with CRI ratings of 90-98,
depending on color temperature. Maverick
fixtures feature a versatile mounting system
that supports industry-standard hardware for
virtually limitless mounting options.

Rather than traditional diffusion to soften the
light source, the light actually emits from the
Remote Phosphor panels on the front of the
fixture, providing a light characteristic that
radiates equally in a 160º radius, providing
Maverick the ability to “wrap” your subject
with soft light with edgeless shadows.
The phosphor panels are excited by blue
LEDs, which are automatically turned off
when the phosphor panels are removed.
The color temperature of Maverick is
extremely consistent fixture to fixture, and
will not change over time like other lighting
technologies.

Cineo Maverick fixtures are extremely
durable, built to last with anodized alloy
construction, flexible polycarbonate panels,
and field-serviceable components. Dimming
options include both local and DMX control.

Cineo Maverick is perfect for any film or
television project, in the studio or on location,
or anywhere flicker-free, color-accurate soft
light is required.

System Components, Connections and Controls

Maverick Lamphead

The Maverick lamphead represents the next generation of Remote Phosphor professional
lighting, incorporating simple operation, advanced passive cooling and versatile configuration
options. Local 0-100% dimming is facilitated with a simple rotary control, while adding the
DMX module provides remote control of the fixture. Maverick can be configured to run on
battery, DC or AC power sources.

Maverick typically includes a mounting yoke that can be easily removed from the industry­standard 80/20 profile mounting slot. The 80/20 slot also accommodates additional mounting
options from both Cineo Lighting and others.

The fixture can be operated in inclement weather conditions, and although not completely
waterproof it can withstand moderately wet conditions.

Depending on input power and CCT, Maverick can output up to 8,000 lumens from a very
compact form factor.
