After a successful launch on Kickstarter of the Rotolight NEO 3 and AEOS 2, Rotolight are now opening up pre-orders for the new LED lights. The lights were launched on Kickstarter in October, and managed to get over $860,000 of funding in just over 30 days!
The Rotolight NEO 3 is the World’s brightest on-camera LED light ever made, and the Rotolight AEOS 2, the most powerful, portable, workhorse light on the market, and it’s the thinnest and lightest 1 x 1 panel ever made at under 1.4KG.
Rotolight say these are the ultimate all-in-one lights, offering the “World’s first high speed sync RGB flash” with any colour temperature, or any colour from a choice of 16.7 million, or 2500 gels all built-in to the light. The lights also operate as a powerful continuous light, letting you shoot what you see.

A pocket-sized powerhouse, the Rotolight NEO 3 is the brightest LED on-camera light ever made. It comes in a compact form factor that can easily be taken anywhere, whilst the AEOS 2 is the thinnest and lightest 1 x 1 panel ever produced, (at under 1.4kg) and is 140x more powerful than the original AEOS.
These exciting new products combine the ‘shoot what you see’ benefits of continuous light, with a world-first High-Speed Sync RGBWW flash, providing photographers and filmmakers with unlimited creative possibilities. Both lights also boast a new and intuitive touchscreen control with incredible RGB capabilities that allow photographers to flash in any one of 16.7 million colours or 2,500 digital filters with zero recycle time.
