A soft key light for talking to camera.
Put the Sol 30W on your desk or on top of your camera and your face is lit evenly, with no softbox to set up. It runs on its own battery and stays quiet enough to sit next to a microphone.
Interviews
Place it 45° in front of your guest. The 6.3 in diffused face gives soft, even light, and CRI 96 keeps skin tones true.
Live streaming
On the Extendable Desktop Tripod it rises up to 22 in above your desk. Set brightness and colour temperature from the dials or the Harlowe App.
Talking-head video
Slide it into your camera’s cold shoe for vlogs and walk-and-talks. At 1.27 lb it adds very little weight to a small rig.
Podcasts and video calls
The fan runs at 18 dB at 3.28 ft, so it can sit close to your mic without adding noise to the recording.

Sol 30W + Mini II
Two compact lights. Almost every portrait.
Sol 30W is a soft surface light for the face. Mini II is a focused spot for shape and separation. Together they give you a full portrait setup that fits in one shoulder bag.
Already own a Mini or Mini II? Sol 30W is the soft key light it was made to work with.
Weddings and portraits on location
Made for the whole wedding day.
Wedding light changes room to room and minute to minute. Sol 30W is battery powered, quiet and soft straight out of the bag, so you can light a face in seconds and keep moving.
Getting ready
Soft, flattering light on the bride at the mirror, even in a dim hotel room.
Rings and details
Move the round source across metal, lace and flowers to control edges and shadow.
Couple portraits after sunset
Hand-hold it or mount it on a stand as a key light when the natural light is gone.
Reception and speeches
An 18 dB fan stays quiet during vows and speeches, and the RGBCW kit can match warm venue light.

The signature round bag
More than a beautiful bag.
It carries the Sol 30W to the shoot. On days the light stays home, it is an everyday crossbody bag in deep pine green and copper.

Harlowe Sol 30W — Carry Your Own Sun.
The Sol 30W brings soft, even light into one portable surface. Its entire 6.3 in (160 mm) face is the light source, giving you fewer modifiers to carry and more freedom to place your light. Choose the Standard Kit for bi-color white light, or the Adele Chan Spectra Creator Kit for a wider white-light range and 36,000 RGBCW colours.

FULL-SURFACE DIFFUSION
The entire 6.3 in (160 mm) face is the source — not a ring, and not a point emitter waiting for a softbox. You begin with a larger, more coherent field of light, so there are fewer loose modifiers, less assembly, and more freedom to place the source where the image needs it.
Soft enough for a face, at close working distance.
A continuous emitting surface, even from centre to edge.
Match the scene, or shape the mood.
WHITE LIGHT CONTROL
The Standard Kit moves continuously from 2700K to 6500K. The Harlowe X Adele Chan Spectra Creator Kit extends that range to 1700–10000K and adds RGBCW colour with 36,000 colours and HSI adjustment. CRI 96 and TLCI 96 keep skin tones, wardrobe and objects dependable across stills and motion.
Colour is not a menu. It is narrative.
RGBCW COLOUR — SPECTRA CREATOR KIT
Use colour to establish distance, tension, memory or atmosphere — not simply to prove that the LEDs can change hue. White light and colour belong to the same visual language, ready in one compact source. RGBCW colour is available on the Spectra Creator Kit.
Professional when the scene moves quickly.
DIRECT CONTROL
Two tactile dials put colour temperature and brightness at hand: rotate for continuous control, press for presets, or press both to lock the settings. The integrated display keeps each decision visible, and Bluetooth connection to the Harlowe App lets you refine the light from behind the camera. On the Spectra Creator Kit, one long press of the LM knob opens Life Mode with Relax and Sleep presets.
White light — Move between warm and cool working light.
Colour — Choose and refine hue, saturation and intensity. Available on the Spectra Creator Kit.
Life Mode — When the work wraps, one long press opens Relax and Sleep presets that turn the tool into evening light. Available on the Spectra Creator Kit.
Made to leave the camera.
IN USE
Sol 30W is not defined by a hot shoe. Hold it close for a quick portrait on location, place it on a desktop stand for a considered key light, or move it off-axis to bring out texture.
On-Location
Hand-held, close, ready before the moment passes.
Desk and livestream
Slightly above eye level and off-axis for a natural face.
Product and still life
Move the round source across materials to control edge and shadow.
Carry one complete idea.
HARLOWE × ADELE CHAN
Harlowe × Adele Chan. Premium copper-toned metal and deep pine green eco-friendly synthetic leather extend from the light into a flattened circular carrying bag made for the kit. Worn crossbody or over one shoulder, it moves from protective carry to fashion piece, finished with a metal badge bearing the Harlowe name and Adele Chan's signature.
Deep pine green — Eco-friendly synthetic leather wraps the light and its case.
Copper-toned metal — Cool in the hand and solid under the dials, carrying the co-signed badge.
Signature round case — Shaped to the object, worn crossbody — not a generic pouch added afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sol 30W only an on-camera light?
No. The bottom cold shoe makes camera-top fill easy, but the 1/4-inch thread on the rotatable bracket fits light stands and tabletop tripods, and the slim body is comfortable hand-held. Most users move it between all three during a single shoot.
Why does the full 160 mm surface matter?
The entire face is the source, so the light is already diffused when it comes out of the pouch. A ring light leaves a recognisable circular catchlight, and a small LED panel needs a softbox before it flatters a face. Sol 30W skips that step.
What does the Adele Chan Edition add?
A wider white range (1700–10,000K instead of 2700–6500K), RGBCW colour with 36,000 colours and HSI control, Life Mode, the copper and deep pine green finish, and the signature round carrying bag.
How long does the battery last?
50 minutes at full brightness, up to 9 hours 10 minutes at 10%. For long interviews and continuous studio work, run the light from the included power adapter.
Is it safe for extended use close to the face?
Yes. The tested output is classified RG0 (Exempt Group) — the lowest photobiological risk group under the applicable test conditions, including blue-light hazard assessment — with flicker-free output.
