The Harlowe Max Air 40 Bi-Color LED Light
Designed to deliver the same trusted performance of the Harlowe’s Max series, this new Max Air 40 model brings two key improvements. The first is a slimmer detachable battery pack, and the second is a removable 23° lens.
Shooters can refine their lighting with the Max Air 40's dimming and bi-color capabilities and adjust the light onboard or wirelessly via app, and use NFC technology to customize light settings instantly.
Plus, in keeping with Harlowe's vintage look, the Max Air 40 features the brand's well-known brown faux leather finish and silver accents that will improve the appearance of any lighting setup. Users can easily discover vast flexibility for indoor and outdoor shooting with an IP65-rated battery pack that makes the Max Air 40 noticeably more compact and suitable for travel.
