Rotolight Neo 2
£299/$400
Versatile lighting with some amazing features
Rotolight makes innovative professional LED lighting pane ls for the movie and stills industry, but its Anova Pro 2 and AEOS are high-end lights with a price tag to match. The Neo 2 is different. Priced for the non-professional market and small enough to slip into a camera bag, the Neo 2 is an LED panel with a difference. It doesn’t just offer adjustable brightness, but adjustable colour temperature too, so you can match it to the ambient lighting or create deliberate colour contrasts. It might be the baby of the Rotolight range, but it still delivers an output of 2,000 lux at 3ft, and that’s top performance for a hotshoe LED panel. You can handhold it or fix it to a lighting stand, and there’s a unique ‘flash’ mode with up to 500% more power and zero recycle time.
WINNING features
