Hobolite’s new continuous LED, the Iris, is a small and portable light unit made for photographers and content creators, featuring optical modifiers and optional coloured gel filters. The Iris’ good looks are inspired by vintage cameras, with a weather- resistant IP54-rated aluminium body and vegan leatherette detailing – making it good for both indoor and outdoor use.

The Iris is available in two kits: the Modifier kit (£99.60) and the Creator kit (£199.20), which includes an aperture ring, gel filters and other extras.
