In 2019, Rotolight broke new ground in the lighting market when it introduced the NEO 2 and AEOS bi-colour hybrid LED lights, with the ability to also shoot flash using one unit. Since then, the firm has developed and improved the lights, initially with the NEO 3 and AEOS 2 in 2021, which brought full-colour output via RGBWW LEDs. Now we have PRO versions with improved light output, software, and hardware.
As before, both lights share the same features and interface, but differ in size and output. The NEO 3 PRO is smaller, at 14.5cm in diameter, which means it can be used either on-camera or on a stand. The AEOS 2 PRO is twice the diameter, which makes it too large to be used on a camera. It’s also much more expensive, at £1,349 compared to £649. Let’s look at the smaller model first.
