Rock-solid build quality, along with a variety of thought-
ful amenities, makes the Solix a compelling product. Useful
features include a magnetic mounting system on the Solix’s
housing for the barn doors, hard-plastic diffusion cap, and
12" cone-shaped softbox. These can be used separately or in
combination for a range of lighting effects. The Solix housing
also includes a built-in speed ring compatible with softboxes,
and an umbrella receptacle located on the mounting stem. It’s
details like these that make the Solix a winner.
The Solix can be operated via mains or battery power with
14.4 V batteries. Its digital interface makes operation fast,
straightforward, and intuitive. Both power output and color
temperature can be adjusted easily via one centrally located
knob on the back. Even with a built-in fan to keep things cool,
operation is quiet. Designed with portability in mind, the Solix
weighs in at just 3.3 lbs and comes with a high-quality carrying
case. Well done Westcott! n“Rock-solid build quality,
