At NAB 2026, GVM isn’t introducing just one flagship fixture but is instead showcasing a fully built-out lighting ecosystem that spans from entry-level creators to full-scale production environments. And this year, they’re pairing that lineup with one of the more aggressive show-floor moves: up to 40% off across much of their catalog during the NAB window.
Getting hands-on across their range, the first impression is less about any single light and more about coverage. GVM has quietly built a lineup that touches nearly every category: panels, COB monolights, flexible mats, tube lights, and compact pocket fixtures, each designed to slot into different production needs without forcing users into a single ecosystem.
At just 13.2 lbs, the GVM FlatHead Series is engineered for the rigors of location work and tight sets. Featuring a single-source COB LED with a 2700K–6800K range and a 97+ CRI/TLCI, it guarantees cinema-grade, flicker-free color. For those needing total creative freedom, the FH400C utilizes an RGBWW engine for precise, full-spectrum control.
The GVM PF100B is a compact 100W Bi-Color Focusing LED built for precision on the move. Its TIR optics provide a versatile 15°–45° zoom, delivering up to 30,200 lux of sharp, directed light. Additionally, their ZipTile system gives creators options by being able to transforming into large, soft light sources. Being able to physically bend or configure panels opens up creative options that rigid fixtures can’t easily match. Similarly, the company’s RGB tube lights and panel kits continue to target content creators and smaller studios, where portability and versatility often matter more than raw output.
What ties all of this together is accessibility and a more adaptable approach to shaping light. GVM has consistently positioned itself as a brand that lowers the barrier to entry for professional lighting. High CRI output, app control, and increasingly robust build quality are no longer reserved for premium price tiers. Their panel lights and kitscontinue to deliver solid color accuracy and adjustable temperature ranges that meet real production needs.
To give you a sense of the scope of their products, at the higher end, the PRO series monolights are clearly aimed at more traditional film and studio workflows. Ranging from 200W up to 650W and beyond, these fixtures deliver the kind of output you’d expect for key lighting, while maintaining features like bi-color or RGB capability, Bowens mount compatibility, and app-based control. In practice, they feel positioned as accessible alternatives to more established cinema lighting brands, especially for owner-operators and small teams building out their first “serious” kit.
Then there’s the AIO series, which leans into simplicity. These integrated units combine light, power solutions, and control into a more streamlined form factor. On the floor, they feel particularly well-suited for smaller crews or solo shooters who need quick setup without sacrificing output. It’s a subtle shift, but one that reflects how many productions are evolving—fewer people, faster setups, and less tolerance for complicated rigging.
And at the smallest end, GVM’s pocket and handheld lights round out the ecosystem. These aren’t meant to replace larger fixtures, but they integrate cleanly into the same workflow—useful as accent lights, practicals, or quick fill sources in run-and-gun situations.
With discounts reaching up to 40% across categories, including monolights, panels, flexible lights, and accessories, the pricing shift isn’t just incremental. It meaningfully changes the equation for creators looking to build or expand a lighting kit, especially those weighing cost against capability.
If there’s a takeaway from seeing their lineup at NAB this year, it’s that lighting is becoming more modular, more accessible, and more tailored to how people actually work.
