A new compact lighting option has been introduced for creators who need portability and flexibility in their setups. The RC 100B COB LED light offers a bi-color range and versatile power options for uninterrupted shooting. Available in two versions, this lightweight fixture supports both wireless and wired operation, making it suitable for a variety of production environments.
Designed for photographers and videographers who require adaptable lighting, the RC 100B is one of many similar solutions on the market, offering solid performance in a compact form. Weighing just 700 g, this palm-sized light is about 20% smaller and brighter than similar 100 W fill lights, making it easy to transport and integrate into mobile setups. It features a bi-color range of 2700 to 6500 K, providing flexibility for different lighting environments.
In addition to its compact design, the RC 100B supports multiple power options, including a built-in V-mount battery slot, an optional NP-F battery plate, and USB-C, making it adaptable to various shooting needs. With these options, users can power the light wirelessly or through wired connections, ensuring flexibility for extended shoots. The light also features a high CRI and TLCI for accurate color rendering, 12 special effects for creative lighting control, and a silent cooling system that allows for noise-free operation even during longer sessions.
Compact Size for Maximum Portability
The RC 100B is built for creators who need flexibility and portability in their lighting setups. Weighing just 700 g and featuring a compact, cube-shaped housing, this light is 20% smaller than many similar 100W fixtures. Its lightweight and portable design make it easy to transport, whether for mobile setups or quick transitions between shooting locations. The palm-sized fixture fits effortlessly into a camera backpack, providing convenient, on-the-go lighting for a variety of photography and videography needs.
Flexible Power Solutions for Any Setup
Supporting multiple power sources, the light adapts easily to different shooting needs. It features an integrated V-mount connection, with the option to use NP-F batteries via an additional plate, though using NP-F batteries reduces the power output. For added flexibility, the RC 100B also offers USB-C and DC power inputs, allowing it to be powered through various sources such as power banks, power handles, or AC connections. These versatile power options ensure extended operation time, making the fixture suitable for both studio and on-location shoots.
