Harlowe launches Sol 40 and Sol 100—ultra-thin, design-forward panel lights with soft, flicker-free RG0 output, whisper-quiet cooling, magnetic dial/app control, optional Spectra RGBCW color with dedicated white channels, and Travel kits for battery power.
Harlowe today announced the Sol 40 and Sol 100, a new family of ultra‑thin panel lights engineered to make people look and sound their best on camera. Built around side‑emitting optics for soft, flattering illumination, RG0 eye/skin comfort for long sessions, and whisper‑quiet cooling (~22.5dB), Sol panels are designed to live both in the room and in the shot. Spectra versions add RGBCW control for mood and brand color while preserving clean, accurate whites for skin.
The Sol lineup centers on outcomes that matter to creators and teams: better faces, cleaner audio, and faster, repeatable setup. A magnetic wireless dial (approx. 20 m/65.6 ft) and Bluetooth app control make it simple to recall looks across rooms or locations. Sol 40 is sized for desks, small studios, and handheld use; Sol 100 scales the same soft look for portraits, headshots, and in‑house content.
“Sol is a quiet, soft source you can keep in frame—at a desk, in a studio, or on location. Spectra adds intentional color without compromising faces,” said Helena Bian, CEO of Harlowe.
What makes Sol different
- Soft, side‑emitting optics: wider, more natural wrap than rings or boxy panels; flicker‑free output.
- RG0 eye/skin comfort: designed for long sessions in front of camera and in client‑facing spaces.
- Studio‑quiet on mic: cooling tuned to ~22.5dB at 1m for podcasts, webinars, and interviews.
- Dial it from across the room: magnetic wireless dial (≈20m) plus Bluetooth app for fast, repeatable looks.
- Two sizes, one philosophy: Sol 40 for desks/handheld; Sol 100 as a large, tripod‑first source.
- Spectra = color with clean whites: RGBCW control (approx. 1,700–10,000K; ~36k colors) with dedicated warm/cool white channels to keep skin tones accurate.
- Go off‑grid without losing the look: Sol 100 Travel Kit includes a 99.36 Wh battery; Sol 40 pairs with a handheld power handle for mobile work.
