A Pop Bank, a Medium Lightbank and a Chimera Lantern for the Creamsource Vortex8 will be available this month.

Chimera Lighting has introduced three accessories for the Creamsource Vortex8: a Pop Bank, a Medium Lightbank and a Chimera Lantern. All three will be available this month.


The Pop Bank for the Vortex8 attaches directly to the fixture without requiring a Speed Ring or bracket. The front screen is a Chimera Small (24"x32"), which almost doubles the front aperture. Included are full and half Chimera Cloth screens and a messenger bag for storage/transportation.


The Medium Lightbank for Vortex8 uses a frame and classic Chimera pole construction, delivering smooth, even light from a 36"x48" aperture. Included are an internal baffle, full and half Chimera Cloth screens and a zippered storage bag. The frame is included but will also be available separately. 


The Chimera Lantern for Vortex8 creates soft, overhead lighting that can be easily controlled with the included four-sided skirt kit. It mounts without the need for frames or rings and includes support poles.
