To quote homespun Czech photographer Miroslav Tichy, “photography is painting with light.” The effects of inadequate lighting not only show themselves in poor image quality, but also affect artistry and creativity; improper lighting produces uninspired imagery.
Hobolite was created for artists by artists to amplify your inspiration and technical prowess.
We developed continuous, portable lighting that marries artistic thinking and industrial design, so every set and every shot – still or video – is equally as impressive.
Why Hobolite?
Hobolite’s three continuous lighting solutions – the Mini, Avant and Pro – are as functional as they are beautiful. Inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood, combined with the craftsmanship of mid-century modern design, our lights radiate vintage style without sacrificing modern capabilities.Our three uniquely styled, continuous LED lighting solutions function separately and together as one smart, cohesive system. Portability and performance combine to meet photographers, videographers and content creators whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. The current product line includes:
- Mini – a stylish micro-studio in the palm of your hand, the 20W Mini can go with you anywhere, so you get the perfect shot for Instagram or the next viral TikTok
- Avant – beautiful and ultra-portable, the 100W Avant easily fits in your bag, so you have powerful bi-color LED lighting for any photoshoot
- Pro – with lush design and maximum performance, the300W Pro will perfectly light a commercial or hybrid video and photoshoot
Hobolite is artistry in lighting, where style and substance meet.
