Stephan Wiesner: He uses our LUX series for this!

Even before its launch, professional photographer Stephan Wiesner had the opportunity to test our advanced LUX series under real-world conditions. The LUX lighting systems are characterized by their exceptional versatility and compact design, which sets them apart from conventional lighting solutions.

Stephan Wiesner had already appreciated the advantages of the 100-watt Candela model for his travel photography, especially its flexibility and compactness. However, the new LUX series, particularly the 100-watt LUX light, sets new standards: "It's not only powerful but also exceptionally compact – hardly larger than two iPhones stacked on top of each other."

This innovation is particularly relevant for air travel. Strict baggage regulations on airplanes often require compromises in equipment. However, the LUX light fits easily into hand luggage without sacrificing performance. This allows photographers like Wiesner to continue their creative work at a high level even while traveling. The LUX series thus offers a perfect solution for anyone who seeks not only flexibility but also uncompromising quality on the go.

Applications and Practical Experience 

Light, compact, and operable with both power and battery – these features make the LUX lights the ideal companion for on the go. Wiesner primarily uses them for outdoor shoots due to their speed and mobility. A recent application took place during a trip to Norway, where the compactness and flight suitability of the new LUX battery grip were particularly noteworthy. The LUX series also proves extremely useful for smartphone recordings to achieve more professional results with minimal effort.

The Choice Between Candela and LUX 

Wiesner recommends carefully choosing between Candela and LUX depending on the application area and personal preferences. While Candela is particularly suitable for studio shoots or on-location work with a bit more luggage, the LUX series excels with its compactness and suitability for air travel. Regardless of the continuous light series, the ability to adjust settings via the free app offers additional flexibility and control, especially for color design and temperature adjustment.
