What Fillex does

Fiilex is a professional LED lighting manufacturer that designs, produces, and sells cinema-grade illumination fixtures for the film, television, broadcast, and architectural lighting markets. Founded in 2013 as a brand and business division under DiCon Lighting — a 30+ year San Francisco Bay Area photonics technology company — Fiilex is headquartered in Richmond, California with a secondary office in Burbank near the Hollywood production cluster. The company employs between 101 and 250 people and sells exclusively B2B to professional buyers.

The company's product portfolio is built on its proprietary patented Dense Matrix LED technology, which consolidates high-density LED chips into a singular point-source to eliminate double shadows and color-fragmentation artifacts that plague multi-source LED panels. Core product families include Q-Series Fresnels (Q3 through Q10 COLOR, ranging 90W-900W), G-Series ellipsoidal projectors (G3, G6, G9 COLOR), K-Series high-intensity punch lights (K10, K40 COLOR plus motorized MOTO variants) for cinema and virtual production, Matrix and QUAD multi-source panels, P-Series portable field lights, architectural track lights, fiber optic illuminators (FL5200, FL5600), and a line of fiber optic matrix switches for broadcast networking. All COLOR products share a unified color index profile for cross-fixture interoperability, with CCT tuning from 2000K-10000K and CRI/TLCI ratings of 95+. The Q10 COLOR received the Cine Gear Lighting Technology Award.

Fiilex operates a sales-led go-to-market model targeting cinematographers, gaffers, lighting directors, and broadcast professionals, reaching customers through direct enterprise sales via website contact, a network of authorized resellers and rental houses, and a dedicated rental program for select fixtures. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time hardware sales with no subscription or recurring software component. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, consistent with configuration-driven enterprise sales. Distribution is global in scope via resellers, though direct operations are concentrated in North America.
