More details from bulletX (www.bullet-X.com):

USA – There is a new expendable product hitting the lighting market that is not another LED light! Sometimes the basics have to be perfected before we move forward as an entertainment industry. Good thing they have developed bulletX to allow for the lighting industry to move forward!

The C-47 clothespin is vital to filmmakers and creative professionals all across the world. Their simple design makes them efficient and reliable but there are limitations with the current clothespin. The C-47 was made for a clothesline not a film set, however bulletX was designed for the lighting industry by an industry veteran.

Mike Flack, a lighting designer in Florida, has come up with a uniquely designed tool that is designed to replace the C-47. His product is called the bulletX and it is a lighting clip that is smart, simple, efficient, and gets the job done correctly. What more can you ask for in a single product?

bulletX is the next generation of lighting expendable evolution and its unique design is patent pending. It’s not just a clothespin any longer it’s now a rigging expendable. If you want to have the highest production value appearance, the bulletX is production black to blend in on your lighting fixtures.

Why risk a “C-47″ releasing from the kino door during a shoot because the jaw opening is too small? bulletX has a larger double notched 1” jaw opening and a stronger spring. bulletX is designed with a tapered nose for small spaces. Which means, no more struggling with converting a C-47 to a bullet. Use the bullet nose feature to pull out hot scrims and keep from burning gel in fresnel lights. Old wood clothespins, number 1 spring clamps and binder clips will be a thing of the past on your tool belt for rigging expendables. The bulletX saves valuable time and replaces them all.

bulletX will be hitting the market this fall 2015 and some of their main distributors will include Studio Depot, Techni-Lux and the list will continue to cultivate.
