Hobolite, a premium segment brand of lighting solutions for content creators, announces the launch of the Avant Max 80W and Mini Max 40W LED photographic lights.

The Avant Max is a bi-colour continuous LED light that offers 80W of brilliant illumination with true colour accuracy. This light combines vintage charm with modern technology, making it an ideal and portable light for photography and video on location, in the studio, or anywhere creativity strikes.
The Avant Max 80W offers a colour range of 2700K to 6500K, ensuring superior colour accuracy with each light individually calibrated to achieve high CRI (96+) and TLCI (96+) metrics. It features a detachable lens with a focus function that provides nearly 3.5 times the illumination instantly, allowing a single COB to replace the brightness of multiple lights. The integrated design includes a detachable 99Wh battery pack and AC adapter, optimised for portability and ease of transport, setup, and on-location mobility. The Avant Max integrates vintage aesthetics with modern functionality, featuring intuitive controls, versatile functionalities, and a focus lens with a magnetic mounting system for barndoor, gels and other accessories. It simplifies workflow with easy-to-use controls via Bluetooth or NFC tap, multiple power options, and a mesh network feature for creating stunning lighting effects.
Helena Bian, CEO and Founder of Hobolite, states, “The Avant Max is a testament to our belief that ‘if it can be imagined, it can be created.’ It is designed for passionate individuals who view their work as an extension of their identity, and it empowers them to push the limits of their creativity and imagination.”
With a 40W output, the Mini Max offers a versatile 20-50 degree bi-colour COB lens. Designed for content creators needing resilient lighting in unpredictable weather, it features a detachable, focusable light lens providing nearly five times the illumination of multiple lights. The integrated design includes a detachable 99Wh battery pack and AC adapter, optimised for portability and ease of use. With exceptional colour accuracy ranging from 2700K to 6500K and high CRI (96+) and TLCI (96+) metrics, the Mini Max ensures true colour reproduction. Its magnetic mount design allows quick attachment of light modifiers like barndoors, frosted domes, and colour gels. The IP65-rated battery pack supports type-C and DC interfaces, powering the light and other devices while supporting USB type-C 65W PD charging. The battery pack, AC adapter, barndoors, colour gels, and frosted dome are compatible with both Mini Max and Avant Max, enhancing their versatility.
“The Mini Max ensures that your creative flow remains uninterrupted, providing convenience at your fingertips,” says Helena Bian. “Its elegant design, powerful output, and adaptability make it an essential everyday carry for content creators to light their story with intention.”
