Rotolight are delighted to announce that the NEO TM, has been awarded the Photography news readers choice awards, "Best Continuous Light" 2015, award!

Since it s launch in May 2015, the Rotolight NEO has become the light of choice for photographers and videographers worldwide. NEO included several groundbreaking, industry first features including; True Aperture Dimming which accurately calculates the correct aperture (F-Stop) for your subject at a given distance, Designer Fade mode for custom fade up / fade down production effects. Finally, an arsenal of Cinematographic Special FX (CineSFX ), provides customisable creative visual lighting effects, on set or location (Strobe, Lightning, Fire, Cycle, Throb, Police & TV).

Hailed by Newsshooter as being "The best solution yet". Matt Allard, Newsshooter s Technical Editor said, "The most important factor for me when choosing a light is colour accuracy. The Rotolight NEO received one of the highest ever TLCI scores for an on-camera/ENG LED".

Rotolight s world-renowned best in class LED s are becoming the go-to lighting solution for the photographic and video / broadcast channels. Delivering broadcast quality LED Lighting technology and featuring overall CRI = 96, Skintone CRI = 99 and TLCI = 91 ensuring the very best results for DSLR and Broadcast Camera users.

Visual FX Veteran Stefan Lange (James Bond Spectre', Batman, Notting Hill) was keen to put NEO's CineSFX mode through its paces, and arranged a test shoot on set at the Sony Digital Motion Picture Centre at Pinewood Studios, with their latest 8K F65 camera and came away saying, "Before NEO, I would need several lights and filters, to modify the quantity of the light, the colour of the light, and certain functions of the light I would need specialist boxes and electronics, but with NEO, it s all built in within one unit, and it's still small enough to fit in my pocket!".

Incredibly over 5,000+ members of the photography community submitted their confidential votes on the Photography News Awards nominating their favourite photographic products from cross the world from best professional camera body, best kit lens, to Best Continuous Lighting product.

The Rotolight NEO was up against tough competition from leading brands such as the ARRI Skypanels, but clearly stood out due to its innovative feature set and unique light quality loved by photographers and videographers worldwide.

Rotolight's Managing Director, Rod Aaron Gammons said: "It is an incredible honour for the Rotoilght NEO to have won this prestigious readers choice award for Best Continuous Light 2015, and we are extremely appreciative to the thousands of photographers who voted for us. The Rotolight NEO was years in the making and took a considerable effort to bring to market with its highly innovative and pioneering feature set, allowing photographers and videographers alike to effortlessly capture stunning images with soft, colour accurate continuous LED lighting, and it is fantastic to have our efforts recognized in this award".

Delivering powerful performance in a compact package, NEO can be a secret weapon wherever a key light, fill, extra kick or catch-light is needed. Available as a single or 3 light kit, NEO includes a belt pouch, power supply and 4 piece Filter Pack including Diffusion, Skin Tone and Magenta.

Commenting on the award, the Photography News Editor Will Cheung said: "The Photography News 2015 Awards seek to recognize great kit, service and training, and it is, the readers, who decide the winners. For the third year running the nominations in key product categories were decided by the team at Photography News, and from those we asked our readers to vote for what they feel deserves to win the award for best in category"
