Harlowe’s New Portable Lights

credits: Harlowe

Harlowe has introduced two new continuous LED lights, the Max Air 40 and the Pro 300 Spectra for photographers and filmmakers who work in both studio and on-location environments.

The Max Air 40 is a compact 40-watt light that runs on battery power and is built for portability. It outputs around 3,500 lumens through a fixed 23-degree lens and allows colour temperature adjustment between 2,700 K and 6,500 K. The light uses swappable 55Wh and 99Wh batteries, both rated for weather resistance, which makes it suitable for outdoor use.

Accessories like barndoors, gels, and diffusers attach magnetically, and the light can be controlled through Bluetooth using the Harlowe app. Despite its small size, it keeps the same build quality and design details seen in Harlowe’s larger lights, including the brown vegan-leather finish.

The Pro 300 Spectra is a more powerful model in the company’s Pro lineup. It uses a 300-watt LED engine and offers a wide colour range (from 1,700 K to 10,000 K) as well as over 36,000 possible colours. Brightness can be adjusted continuously from 0 to 100 percent.

The head can rotate 360 degrees, and a quiet 28 dB fan keeps it cool during use. The light can run on AC power or two 99Wh Max Battery Packs, giving it flexibility for studio and field work. It includes a Bowens-compatible mount for modifiers and can be controlled either through a detachable control panel or the app.

Harlowe is selling the Pro 300 Spectra in two versions: the Standard Kit for $1,999 USD and the Creator Kit for $2,499 USD, which includes a softbox and carbon fibre stand. The Max Air 40 is priced at $549 USD.
