Rotolight's revolutionary AEOS 2 and NEO 3 LED lights broke its crowdfunding target in just over 30 minutes, earning the Kickstarter title of 'Project we Love'.

In its first 7 days, the campaign broke the $350,000 mark, lining it up to become the most backed LED lighting product in Kickstarter history and, with the target being reached, all backers are guaranteed to receive their ground-breaking AEOS 2 and NEO 3 lights, kits and accessories by March 2022 and without having to pay anything until the campaign comes to an end.

The exciting new products, which combine the 'shoot what you see' benefits of continuous light, with a world-first High-Speed Sync RGBWW flash, break new ground and give photographers and filmmakers unlimited creative possibilities.

Jason Lanier, Professional photographer and Rotolight Master of Light put the lights through its paces over a series of shoots in the UK last week and concluded: "The new NEO 3 and AEOS 2 are game-changing lights that will forever change my photography, and they can change yours too. The AEOS 2 is a MONSTER of a product, so powerful and has already instantly become my new favourite light."

With 20 days left to run, there's still time for backers to get behind the campaign to benefit from the substantial (up to 25%) discounts, as well as new announcing new stretch goal campaign targets today that unlocks new and exclusive bundles, including free giveaways and photography workshops around the world for Platinum backers until the campaign comes to a close on the 16th November 2021.
