Harlowe Sol 5 Spectra RGBCW Mobile Light for MagSafe

Sol 5 Spectra is a full-color MagSafe light for iPhone: it snaps onto the back of your phone and gives you 36,000+ colors plus tunable white from 1700K to 10,000K for Reels, TikToks, live streams, video calls and creative close-ups. It is the RGBCW version of Sol 5 Bi-Color — the same pocket-size, fold-flat body, now with full color, Bluetooth control from the Harlowe app and a rear touchpad for quick swipes between color and white. White light is rated CRI 96 and TLCI 99, so skin tones stay natural when you switch back from color. Sol 5 Spectra is made for phone creators who want color and mood as well as flattering light; if you only need natural white light, Sol 5 Bi-Color is brighter in Boost and costs less.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Sol 5 Spectra and Sol 5 Bi-Color?

Sol 5 Spectra adds full RGB color (36,000+ colors), a wider 1700K–10,000K white range and Bluetooth app control. Sol 5 Bi-Color is white light only (2700K–6500K) but reaches 520 lm in Boost versus 360 lm on Spectra, and costs less. Choose Spectra for color and mood; choose Bi-Color if you only need natural white light.

Does Sol 5 Spectra work with Android phones or iPhones without MagSafe?

Yes. The Standard and Creator Kits include two magnetic adhesive rings: stick one to the back of your phone or case and Sol 5 Spectra snaps on the same way it does on a MagSafe iPhone.

Can I control it from my phone?

Yes. Pair it over Bluetooth with the Harlowe app to set brightness, white balance and color wirelessly, or swipe the touchpad on the back of the light.

Will skin tones look natural?

In white mode Sol 5 Spectra is rated CRI 96 and TLCI 99, and you can match warm or daylight rooms anywhere from 1700K to 10,000K. The included frosted dome softens the light further for close-up selfies and calls.

How bright is it?

200 lm in standard mode and 360 lm in Boost at 6500K. At 0.5 m (1.64 ft) Boost delivers about 608 lux at 2700K, enough for close-up selfies, calls and tabletop shots. For seated interviews or wider shots, pair it with a larger key light such as Sol 30W.

What comes in the Creator Kit?

The light, a frosted dome, 2 Magic Lenses and 5 Magic Plates for creative patterns and diffusion, a tabletop tripod, 2 magnetic adhesive rings, a USB-C cable and a carrying bag.
