Both products are available in Classic (brown) and Midnight colours. The Avant Max is a bi-colour continuous LED light source that offers 80W of illumination with true colour accuracy across a range from 2700K to 6500K, making it an ideal portable light source for photography and videography on location or in a studio. Each light is individually calibrated to achieve high CRI (96+) and TLCI (96+) metrics. It comes with a detachable COB (chip on board) lens with a focus function that provides nearly 3.5 times the illumination instantly, replacing multiple lights. The integrated design is optimised for portability and easy setup plus on-location mobility. It offers intuitive controls, includes a detachable 99Wh battery pack and AC adapter, and its focus lens has a magnetic mounting system for barn-doors, gels and other accessories.  It can also be remotely controlled via Bluetooth or NFC tap and includes multiple power options, and a mesh network feature for creating additional lighting effects.

The Mini Max 40W has similar features but a lower output. Designed for content creators needing resilient lighting in unpredictable weather, it comes with a versatile 20-50 degree bi-colour COB lens and features a detachable, focusable light that provides nearly five times the illumination of multiple lights. The IP65-rated battery pack supports type-C and DC interfaces, powering the light and other devices while supporting USB type-C 65W PD charging. The battery pack, AC adapter, barn-doors, colour gels, and frosted dome are compatible with both Mini Max and Avant Max, enhancing their versatility.
