My unit is not as dependable as I had hoped when used with 190Wh v-mounts. It tends to shut off frequently during use, with LO message on the power unit even with brand new and fully charged batts. Re-seating the batts can give me several more minutes. I have two units doing this. But the fresnel kit is GREAT - almost doubles the light output of this already super bright lamp.

This light is bright… no, you don’t understand… it’s BRIGHT. It’s like turning on the sun! I really like it. My only concern is the fan noise from the power unit, but that’s not really a big problem. The GLOW Parabolic that came with it is better designed than my Aputure Parabolic of the same size, so I’m happy with it as well. Overall, well worth the money!

Great light, bright, well built, with one caveat!!! I had to send one back because~1st it was im`perfectly illuminated. The right half of the light circle daylight,was white, while the left half was much warmer.. by 600-700 K.... the replacement was very even across the illumination circle. I would strongly suggest that anyone purchasing this light use it to illuminate a white wall up close to confirm color fidelity across the illumination circle.

The CLAR ILLUMI MAX is a COB LED blast of light when you need it most. 300 watts of fierce LED raw energy that illuminates like no other single head 5600K fixture. Exceptionally 96+ accurate CRI color rendition, combined with a whopping 23,500 lux of output (at 1 meter with our 65 Degree reflector) and long-range wireless 2.4GHz radio remote control, make this fixture the performance champ for videographers and image creators of all stripes; perfect for broadcast video, photography, television production, and studio filmmaking. Where it really slams the competition is with the standard reflector at the crucial 2 meter mark - 30% better, delivering 5,530 lux of even, natural and vibrant light.
The build is tough. Solid aircraft grade aluminum for a light time of use. So lightweight - just over 4 pounds - that it begs to be present for all opportunities that call for serious lighting. Mobile versatility on location and in the studio. Yes, a bigger boom in a smaller physique. We don't mean to boast, but our monster COB LED soars into 2k incandescence land - where only tungsten halogen ruled - without a semblance of heat and just a whisper of imperceptible sound from its brainy cooling system.
The Bowens universal type-S mount design. You can't find a better way to find and implement modifiers, from reflectors to Fresnel heads. Such a wide range of available accessories, it beggars the mind.
Smart thermal regulators assure the temperature stability of the light. Whatever slight amount of heat may be present, is dissipated through an automatic trigger to the imperceptible fans, sensing the need for variable internal airflow to keep the circuitry perfectly cool. The silence of the fans is deafening. The unit is so cool, that handling the light, even at full power, will not phase the most delicate grouchy grip.
The controlling elements are separated from the primary light head, keeping the balance of weight off of the top of a stand and for easy access to the direct input of brightness values. As the control box is at a distance from the source, placement of the light is far more flexible, safe and independent.
The ability to be free of AC mains, with connectivity to onboard slots for dual V-mount batteries, eliminates the need to hook up expensive power supplies. Your dream to be in LED land, cool and stable, free of all of the heat, danger, and hassle of heavy-duty cabling, is realized in the CLAR ILLUMI MAX 300.
It's all possible with CLAR Wireless LED.
What are COB LEDs Chip On Board, or COB LEDs are multiple LED chips, bonded directly to a substrate to form a single unified module. The chips can be mounted to take up less space and obtain the highest potential of the LED chip elements. When the COB LED cell is energized, it appears more like a brilliant lighting panel than multiple individual lights, as would be the case when using several SMD LEDs mounted closely together. These diodes form one single module and when turned on, and appear to be one light. Light loss is decreased significantly, and the coverage angle is increased as lenses and other traditional LED packaging parts are no longer necessary in the design of the lamp when using COB LEDs.
