Manfrotto has updated the Lykos LED light with the introduction of version 2, first seen at NAB, that's designed with both photographers and videographers in mind. 

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

The Lykos 2.0 LED light offers Daylight and Bicolor lighting options with a built-in lens for optimal natural lighting. It's water-resistant and is controlled through a free app that can be downloaded from the Android and iOS stores. The light also has a dual mount battery, enabling it to be charged using either Sony L-Type or Canon LP-E6.

When capturing stills, the Lykos 2.0 LED light can be used in the Daylight mode or when shooting fashion, the Bicolor setting can be chosen to add warmth to your model's skin. By adjusting the back controller you can regulate light intensity as well as the mode, easily switching from Daylight to Bicolor.

Those who shoot video can use the Lykos 2.0 LED light both indoors and outside when shooting sequences or interviews. 

8 hot shoe mounts are available which can connect up to 4 Lykos 2.0 lights to create a full LED System for larger professional studio applications. Additionally, the light is compatible with Manfrotto Softbox light diffusers and is provided with a diffuser to help create the desired light effect.

This lighting solution is available both as a single LED light and in a full professional lighting kit composed of three Lykos 2.0, 2 in 1 LED lights, three Nano Photo Stands and two Softboxes, supplied in a Manfrotto Pro Light Reloader Tough-55 photographic roller bag.

The new Lykos 2.0 will be available in November with an RRP of £259.95 and the Lykos 2.0 kit will be available for £1249.95.
