British LED lighting manufacturer, Rotolight, has released a native iOS and Android application for its AEOS 2 and NEO 3 RBGWW LED lights.

Available on smartphones and tablets, the app allows photographers to easily adjust kelvin, brightness, HSL, Gels, flashing settings and SFX on up to 20 lights. The design features a replica of the touchscreen found on the back of the latest generation of Rotolights. Real time, two-way communication between the app and lights means adjustments are instant with zero latency.

A virtual colour wheel gives photographers the opportunity to choose from a colour palette including 16.7million colours, as well as 2,500 filters. Custom presets can also be selected through the app.
