The LumeCube Dual-Pack Lume Cube Black doesn’t just deliver more light than you ever thought possible from two compact, inexpensive rechargeable lights. It also gives you quality light—devoid of hot spots, with smooth falloff and with enough push to properly illuminate your subject.
With the right brackets, these lamps can be mounted as drone lights—even on affordable quadcopters, including the DJI Mavic Pro and Phantom 4—for professional-quality aerial lighting. And they’re waterproof down to 100 feet, which means they’re more than capable or working in the rain or on a beach where the waves are generating spray.
Each LumeCube measures just 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 inches, with an aluminum casing strong enough to take whatever licks you’re bound to dish out. LumeCube is versatile. Optional mounting brackets make LumeCube work with SLR cameras as a slave flash, and with video cameras, GoPro cameras, smartphones, bicycles and some handheld video gimbals. Want to dim the light? The output is adjustable, and a smartphone app lets you adjust multiple lights. Diffuse the light with available custom-fit warming gels.
Recharge LumeCube in just 40 to 60 minutes.

Small Size, Big Light
Illumination in each LumeCube comes from a 1,500-lumen daylight-balanced LED. The dual-pack emits up to 3,000 lumens of light. Intensity is more than 750 Lux. The beam angle is 60 degrees. With 270 refraction points, each lens emits lighting that is even. There are no hot spots to cause exposure problems in you image, and falloff is smooth at the edges.
Li-Ion Battery
The Li-Ion battery that powers LumeCube is built in and rechargeable. There’s no need to wait until the battery is completely discharged to begin recharging. Just plug the included micro USB cord into an AC outlet adaptor, computer, battery pack or car power port adaptor. Recharging takes 40 to 60 minutes.
Runtime, if the LumeCube is used at 50 percent power, is 2-plus hours. Full-on continuous illumination for video is about 20 minutes.
Total LumeCube Control
Two buttons atop the LumeCube offer convenient adjustments. One button flashes the light. The other adjusts the light output in 10 percent increments, with 10 settings. More detailed control is available through LumeCube’s Bluetooth connectivity to either an iPhone or Android phone. A downloadable smartphone app allows you to program multiple LumeCube lights in 1 percent increments. It also reads out battery reserve levels.
LumeCube Diffusers, Warming Gels
The optional Light-House modification system allows LumeCube to accept warming gels and other diffusing elements over the lens. Attachment is elegantly simple, using magnets. The Light-House cover slips on and snaps into its secure, locked position. No tools are needed to install and remove the cover or diffuser attachments.
Water Resistant
Looking for underwater lighting? LumeCube can be immersed to a depth of 100 feet. Its waterproof encasement makes it ideal for use in rain or on a beach, even where crashing waves generate a spray. The micro USB recharging port has a waterproof screw-on cover. A waterproof membrane protects the control buttons on top of the cube.
Slave Flash
An optical sensor allows the LumeCube to work as a slave flash for still photography. The flash syncs down to 1/125 of a second. Setting for flash photography takes seconds. With the quarter-inch female mounting port on the bottom, the LumeCube can mount on a tripod or mini tripod. It can run off its recharged battery for flash duty, or from an A/C outlet. Multiple LumeCubes can be used in slave arrangements, with the output for each set by using the smartphone app.
Available Drone Mounts, Drone Lighting Kits
A number of brackets are available for mounting the LumeCube to drones. Available from Redux Air are brackets for the DJI Mavic Pro and Phantom 4.
Complete lighting kits are available for the Mavic Pro, Phantom 4, Inspire and Matrice, and Yuneec Typhoon H. Each complete lighting kit includes two LumeCube lights in addition to the drone mounting brackets.
