Recycling times are usually a hassle causing delays between shots when using a conventional flash. As both the NEO 3 and AEOS 2 make use of super bright LED technology you get an astonishingly bright light source with no downtime between shots so you'll never miss a moment.
The new NEO 3 and AEOS 2 lights are compatible with the previous generation’s accessories, while they’re also introducing a new Rotolight Universal Speedring Adaptor which unlocks a suite of Bowens-mount modifiers as well.
Benefits to pledging not only involve being the first in the world to get their hands on these state-of-the-art lighting products when they start shipping in February next year, but also give you access to exclusive early bird prices.

The Rotolight NEO 3 is the smaller of the two lights announced and although small it still manages to pack a powerful punch. In-fact it’s the brightest LED light ever produced that's designed to sit on a camera’s hotshoe.
Building on the success of the Rotolight NEO 2, the NEO 3 adds greater power, an innovative touch screen interface on the back of the light and is designed to fit seamlessly into your workflow with the Rotolight iOS & Android App. It also features a brand-new high-performance Lithium battery so you can shoot brighter and for longer.

The Rotolight AEOS 2 builds on the success of the highly-rated original AEOS and offers image-makers unmatched versatility. Uniquely lightweight with an ultra-thin design, this new LED from the world’s most innovative lighting brand is the thinnest and lightest 1x1 panel ever made weighing in at under 1.4kg.
The AEOS 2 incorporates the brilliant new SmartSoft Box feature which, allows you to switch from a beautiful soft output to a harder light source at a moment’s notice. Electronically adjusting the diffusion, focus and spread of the light.
Just like with the NEO 3 there’s some massive savings to be had with the AEOS 2 including the base Rotolight AEOS 2 package which comes with the AEOS 2 light, a diffuser dome, and a power supply unit which is just £825/$1119, down from £999/$1399.
