At the 2026 NAB Show, DeSisti Lighting is expanding its portfolio with a series of new fixtures that emphasize efficiency, flexibility, and practical innovation for modern broadcast and production environments. The company’s latest introductions span its cost-effective LITE series as well as entirely new lighting concepts, underscoring its continued focus on high-performance LED solutions.
A major highlight is the expansion of the LITE series, designed to bring DeSisti’s optical quality and reliability to more budget-conscious markets such as education, public access, and government production. Among the new additions is the F4.7-LITE, a compact 40-watt Fresnel featuring a true 4.7-inch borosilicate glass lens. Available in tungsten (3200K), daylight (5600K), and variable white (2700K–6500K), the fixture uses DeSisti’s patented optical system to deliver higher output with lower power consumption. Its compact size and compatibility with existing F4.7 and Magis accessories make it particularly well suited for smaller studios and low grid heights.
The updated F6-LITE builds on this approach with increased power, now featuring an 80-watt LED array. It maintains full compatibility with standard F6 Fresnel accessories and even legacy 1000-watt tungsten Leonardo fixtures, providing an easy upgrade path for facilities transitioning to LED. Like the F4.7-LITE, it is offered in multiple color temperature configurations to suit a wide range of production needs.
In soft lighting, DeSisti introduces the SoftLED2-LITE, reengineered for higher output while consuming just 120 watts, along with the new SoftLED1-LITE, a 60-watt half-size version. These fixtures deliver even, high-quality illumination with excellent CRI/TLCI performance, making them ideal for multi-camera studio environments. Notably, all LITE series fixtures are completely fanless, using passive cooling to ensure silent operation—an essential feature for broadcast applications.
Beyond the LITE series, DeSisti is also debuting the GIOTTO Linear cyclorama light, a high-efficiency LED solution designed for even, controlled cyc illumination. Available in both variable white and extended color versions, the fixture features an asymmetrical optical system that minimizes light spill while maintaining uniform coverage. Its 48-inch form factor allows fewer units to be used compared to traditional cyc lights, improving both efficiency and setup simplicity.
Perhaps the most groundbreaking introduction is the GALILEO SOFT-NEL, a completely new lighting concept that rethinks traditional studio lighting techniques. By combining a central Fresnel hard light with a surrounding soft-light ring in a single coaxial system, GALILEO enables continuous control of shadow quality without changing fixture position. This patented dual-source architecture introduces what DeSisti calls “Intelli-Shadow,” allowing lighting designers to fine-tune shadow characteristics while maintaining a consistent beam axis. With independent control of intensity and color temperature for both sources, GALILEO consolidates what previously required multiple fixtures into one highly versatile tool.
Across all these new products, DeSisti emphasizes ease of use with intuitive onboard controls, DMX integration, and daisy-chainable power and data connections. The result is a lineup that not only advances lighting technology but also addresses the practical needs of today’s production environments. Together, these new products position DeSisti at the forefront of LED lighting innovation, offering solutions that are not only more efficient and affordable, but also more adaptable to the evolving demands of broadcast and content creation.
