Designed to act as a compact lighting solution for creators on the go, the retro-inspired Mini Max Bi-Color LED Light Creator Kit from Hobolite is brighter and more versatile than its predecessor. Outfitted with a 20 to 50 adjustable lens and graced with vintage styling in brown faux leather details, the Mini Max packs a bi-color punch, color accuracy, and flexible power options. Some of its benefits are intuitive local controls and NFC tap technology to quickly customize your settings via the app. Furthermore, Hobolite’s magnetic mount system allows the fixture to work with a wide range of creative modifiers. From its spot-to-flood lens to the included detachable 99Wh battery pack and everything in between, this portable 40W light covers multiple needs of any compact mobile lighting setup.
