Hudson Spider Redback 36″ Octagon Parabolic LED Deluxe Kit

The Hudson Spider Redback 36″ Octagon Parabolic LED Deluxe Kit is a lighting fixture available to rent from Lightbulb Rentals. We supply film, video, and photography productions across New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh with tested, production-ready gear.

The Hudson Spider Redback 36" Octagon Parabolic LED from Lightbulb Rentals is designed around a 36" diameter fixture with eight hinged aluminum and steel arms that can be formed into a parabolic shape. This fixture houses a total of 3456 closely-spaced LEDs, creating a soft, continuous light source.

The 12 x 8" cylinder offers a wide color temperature range of 2600 to 6500K with a CRI of 95+, ensuring superior accuracy in color rendering. The Redback is dimmable from 0 to 100%, with adjustments possible both locally on the fixture and remotely via onboard DMX from a console.

In addition to its softness, the Redback provides a unique wrap-around quality, snappy contrast, and a crisp specular quality often described as "magical," making it an ideal beauty light. For those needing directional control and softness options, the kit includes a Redback Parabolic Reflector with a silver-interior Ultrabounce fitted cover, Magic Cloth diffuser, and full and 1/2 grid cloth diffusers.

Additionally, the kit comes with an IEC power cord, 24' header cable, and a 5/8" Baby pin with 3/8" threads. The key to recreating the umbrella-bounced light look with LEDs is positioning them closely together, spreading them evenly along the length of a parabolic-shaped armature, and focusing them outward.

This design makes direct LED a viable alternative to bounced HMI or Tungsten lights. The entire setup fits into the kit's water and shockproof rolling case.

Key specifications include a light type of LED softlight (parabolic, deployable), a led count of 3,456, a power of 400W. It also offers a output of ~12,280-15,280 lm, a color temperature of 2600-6500K (bi-color), a cri of 95-98.
