The Hobolite LED lighting range is a breath of fresh air in the world of photo and video lights. With its retro, even steampunk, looks, the four lights in the series give a choice of size and power of lighting – with a design that looks as much like a medium format camera as a photo lamp.

At The Photography & Video Show we managed to get our hands on the special edition red-colored version of the second smallest light in the range. The Hobolite Mini Crimson features the same 20W light as with the standard Hobolite Mini. The creator kit contents are also the same, coming with a set of barndoors with colored filters, a USB-C cable, and a power adapter. Mounting options in the kit are a desktop tripod, a V-mount cold shoe adapter, and a V-mount ball head adapter. And it all comes in its own custom zippered case.

The Mini Crimson 20W Bi-Color Continuous LED Creator Kit retails for $399/£399 - so the same price as the standard brown-colored version.

Other lights in the series include the smaller Hobolite Micro, and the larger Hobolight Avant and Hobolite Pro.
