When looking for lighting support for your projects these days, there are many great options from familiar brands. And that, for the most part, is a very good thing.
However, it’s also nice to have some diversity of options, and this new light from the Italian lighting company Maxima brings a new option to the table, set to offer a very artistically tailored fixture.
The Maxima Spectra aims to deliver studio-grade cinematic lighting in a lightweight, battery-first design that enables flawless, cable-free operation in both your studio setups and on location. Let’s check it out.
The Maxima Spectra Light
Designed to be quite lightweight and easy to use, with its no-cables operation promise, the Maxima Spectra weighs in at just 1.4 kg and features direct V-Mount support, Profoto and Bowens compatibility, 25.000 lumens, and a wide bi-color control from 2.600K to 6,800 K.
The light offers advanced control of all its features, including effects and battery optimization controls, accessible via a built-in LCD touchscreen and the company’s iOS and Android apps.
The goal of the Maxima Spectra is simply to give cinematographers a cinematic-quality lighting option designed for the fast-paced life of modern filmmaking and content creation. Its battery-first design, whether with V-mount batteries or AC, can switch between grid and battery power in under five seconds and requires no adapters, ballast, or downtime.

The other unique selling point for the Maxima Spectra is simply that it’s an outside company from the major names in the space, and it can uniquely boast that everything about the light was designed, engineered, and built in Italy.
The company also shares that the light was further designed with filmmakers, photographers, and cinematographers from all over the world, so it has a very job-focused development cycle that aims to hit the mark for all types of projects.
If you’re interested in finding out more, the Maxima Spectra is currently available on the company’s website and is set to retail for 799 € (about $923 USD).
