NEW YORK, NY — JUNE 2025 — The energy at BILD Expo 2025 was electric, and at the heart of it all, the GVM booth was a beacon for the future of lighting technology.
For two packed days, we connected with countless filmmakers, gaffers, and creators, but we didn’t just showcase products—we unveiled four revolutionary product lines, each designed to redefine the landscape of professional film lights and solve the real-world challenges of modern production.
If you couldn’t make it to the Javits Center, here’s a full recap of how GVM is redefining what’s possible with light.
The Reign of Power & Value Begins
The undisputed star of the show was the debut of our elite Reign series, led by the powerhouse R1200B Professional Film Light. This 1200W COB light is more than just a performance beast; it’s a market disruptor.
Engineered with an IP65 weatherproof body, an industry-standard G7 Mount, and comprehensive connectivity (DMX, CRMX, Art-Net), the R1200B delivers the uncompromising quality professionals demand. But what truly captured everyone’s attention was its exceptional value. We believe flagship performance shouldn’t come with an inaccessible price tag. The Reign series is our commitment to empowering creators with professional-grade film lights that are finally within reach.
Rethinking Form: The Flathead Series Breaks Spatial Barriers
We asked a simple question: “What if a powerful COB point-source could be as thin as a panel?” The Flathead series is our groundbreaking answer. This series masterfully merges the punchy, hard-light characteristics of a COB source into an ultra-thin profile, providing powerful, controllable hard light where traditional studio lights can’t go.
The excitement grew as we demonstrated its professional modular splicing system, allowing multiple FH400C units to form a massive light wall. With IP65 weather resistance and a stunning RGBAL 5-color engine on the flagship model, Flathead is the ultimate problem -solver for any creative challenge.
Shape Your Light: Limitless Creativity with the Ziptile Series
If Flathead rethinks form, the Ziptile series liberates it entirely. The hands-on “wow” moment of the expo was its unique “zipper” connection system. Attendees were amazed as they effortlessly connected these featherlight, ultra-thin panels into custom shapes and sizes.
From a single panel used as portable video lights for interviews, to a massive, soft ceiling of light, Ziptile dismantles the concept of a fixed-size fixture. It empowers creators to stop simply choosing a light and start truly shaping their source, providing a versatile canvas of light for any creative vision.
Engineered for Efficiency: The All-In-One (AIO) Series
On a fast-paced set, speed and efficiency are everything. The AIO (All-In-One) Series is built precisely for this reality. By integrating the lamp head, controller, and power supply into a single, compact unit, the AIO series eliminates external ballasts and cable clutter.
We demonstrated its “box to bright in under 60 seconds” workflow, proving invaluable for run-and-gun crews and anyone needing fast, reliable studio lights or on-the-go solutions. The AIO series is definitive proof that powerful performance and ultimate convenience can coexist perfectly.
A Dialogue with Creators
More than anything, BILD Expo 2025 was an opportunity to listen. Every conversation we had with you—the creators on the front lines—informs our next step.
“We see the future of professional video lights not as a race for a single feature, but as a suite of adaptive, efficient, and creative solutions,” said GVM’s Head of Product. “These four new series address distinct challenges we’ve heard about from the community for years. GVM is committed to listening and innovating for the real-world workflow.”
The Future is Bright. Thank You for Being a Part of It.
