Hobolite Avant and Mini Max Vintage Lighting Fixtures Announced

Hobolite produces compact lighting fixtures in a vintage case. The manufacturer has released two new fixtures: Avant Max 80 W and Mini Max 40 W. While maintaining the retro aesthetics, the fixtures are equipped with advanced modern technologies that allow you to get the highest level of results.

The first device is the Hobolite Avant Max . It is a two-color continuous LED of 80 W. The light has a quality of CRI/TLCI>96, and its color temperature is adjustable from 2700 to 6500 K, the manufacturer reports. And of course, the device looks quite stylish:

The device also received a special removable magnetic focusing lens. It can effectively increase the brightness up to 3.5 times in cases where more power is required.

Hobolite Avant Max also works with magnetic light modifiers, including curtains, color filters, and others. The maximum illumination with the lens is 9005 lux at one meter and 2568 lux without it.

The intensity of the light flow can be adjusted using the wheel on the side of the device: from 0 to 100%. The second option: using a smartphone through the official Hobolite application.

There is a built-in fan to ensure stable operation for a long time at high brightness, that is, working at full power.

The new Hobolite Avant Max light is powered by a new 99Wh V-Mount battery that is compatible with the previously released Hobolite Avant 100W and Pro 300W lights. The light can also be powered by AC power that supports USB-C power delivery. The light can deliver 100% output for 78 minutes when using the battery. The Avant Max weighs 0.91 kg.

The second device announced is the Hobolite Mini Max . This device is smaller in size and weighs 0.69 kg. The 40-watt light provides 7325 lux at a distance of one meter with the adjustable lens installed and 1414 lux without it.

The manufacturer reports that the CRI and TLCI indices of this device are over 96, and the color temperature varies from 2700 to 6500 K.

The new Hobolite Mini Max also works with the new V-Mount battery, with a runtime of two hours and 18 minutes at 100% brightness. It can also be powered via AC power and a USB-C POD, or via the Max LiteDock.

Like the Avant Max, the new, more compact Mini Max works with magnetic light modifiers and is compatible with the official Hobolite smartphone app.

In addition to the devices themselves, the company produces various light modifiers that will add variability to the new products. There is also a LiteDock Power Bank – a handle with a ball head and a built-in battery with a capacity of 3450 mAh, as well as a USB port for powering the light. This is what this handle looks like:

The two new Hobolite Avant Max and Mini Max lights are available in the standard and creator trim levels, while the Mini Max also has a third trim level, the road trim level.

The Hobolite Avant Max Standard Kit retails for $699 and includes: Avant Max, Max Battery (99Wh), Dual Port AC Adapter, Avant Max Lens, Max Handle, 100W Power Supply, D-Tap Cable, and AC Cord.

The Avant Max Creator Kit costs $899 and adds a set of barn doors, a Max mesh, color filters, and a V-Mount clamp to the above.

The Hobolite Mini Max starts at $599 for the standard kit: the Mini Max itself, a power cable, a Max Handle, an adjustable lens, and a 65W power adapter. The “creator” kit for $799 adds the same bonuses as the Avant Max creation kit. The travel kit replaces the standard Max Handle with a LiteDock (with a built-in battery).

Hobolite Avant Max and Mini Max are available in Brown and Dark Black in all available kits.

Previously, the company released the Hobolite Mini Crimson Creator light kit with adjustable temperature. This is a set of everything you need to work with the device: a tripod, a set of curtains with color filters, a USB-C cable and a power adapter, honeycombs. Together with the kit, the company also introduced an additional handle – LiteDock Crimson, which has an additional 3450 mAh battery.
