Newell Kathi Max RGB LED Light Stick
The Newell Kathi Max is a long, handheld RGB LED light with impressive reach and creative control. At 120 cm, it offers plenty of coverage for stills and video, whether you are lighting portraits, creating colourful backdrops, or experimenting with light painting techniques. With full HSI colour control, a broad 2500 K–9900 K temperature range, and built-in special effects, it is a versatile tool for both studio and location work.
Why We Like It
If you enjoy adding drama, mood, or a splash of colour to your images, the Kathi Max gives you an incredible amount of flexibility in one compact unit. The extra length makes it easier to light larger areas evenly, while its light weight means you can hold or mount it without strain. For film photography projects, it’s ideal for pre-visualising how light will fall on a subject before committing to film. For video, the special effects can simulate everything from candlelight to lightning, without the need for complex setups. We also like the fact that it runs on an internal rechargeable battery with USB-C fast charging, making it easy to keep powered on set.
