Meet the Max Air 40W Starter Kit — a travel-ready powerhouse that brings studio-grade lighting anywhere you go. Built around the same 40W bi-colour COB LED engine and CRI/TLCI 96+ colour accuracy as the original Max 40W, it’s been re-engineered for creators who need serious light without the weight.
The redesigned 54.72Wh detachable battery pack is around 35% slimmer than before, cutting bulk while keeping full runtime. A fixed-focus 23° lens boosts output up to 9× brighter than bare light, giving you the punch of a full-sized fixture in a compact form.
Your gear stays compatible — all existing Max 40W domes, gels, and barndoors fit perfectly. The IP65-rated battery pack delivers durability plus 65W USB-C PD output, so it can charge your laptop, tablet, or phone while powering your light. A built-in swap light helps you change batteries in the dark, and silent cooling (≈22 dB@1 m) keeps your audio clean.
Magnetic modular accessories make shaping light effortless, while Bluetooth + NFC app control lets you fine-tune brightness and colour correction straight from your phone.
From handheld portrait sessions to outdoor vlogs and event coverage, the Max Air 40 delivers professional, true-to-life lighting wherever your creativity takes you.
