Lume Cube Unveils The Līfe Līte: a new generation of Mobile Lifestyle Lighting for iPhone, Android,and any Casual Capture Device™

San Diego, CA (October 29, 2016) -- Lume Cube, one of the most innovative and disruptive camera lighting brands, is proud to unveil the Līfe Līte. The new portable light delivers the same award-winning design and functionality as the original Lume Cube, but scaled down in size, weight, and price to offer mobile lighting to the masses.

The Līfe Līte is the next generation of Lifestyle Lighting, enabling the everyday mobile photographer to harness the power of light in the palm of their hand. In a world where 2.3 billion people own smartphones, the Līfe Līte is the most innovative solution for low-light or night situations, offering a frictionless design geared toward the smartphone users, mobile content creators, and everybody in-between.

Pro surfer Jamie O’Brien says, “I think it’s awesome. It allows us to do things that we weren’t able to do before. I wanna take this light all around the world - the sky’s the limit. It’s different, it’s fun, it is cool content.”

The original Lume Cube sprang into instant fame after a successful first campaign, chosen as a Kickstarter Staff Pick of 2014. Since then, Lume Cube has opened distribution in over 45 Countries, launched partnerships with some of the world’s largest companies and is now the preferred lighting solution throughout the content creation industry. In the last 12 months, Lume Cube has been awarded USA Today’s ‘Best Of CES - Editors Choice’ award, the Lucie Technical ‘Best LED Element of 2015’ Award, Videomaker's 'Best Light of the Year’ award among many others within the Imaging and Consumer Electronics industry.

“As we enter our second year, we want to assure our faithful supporters that there is much more to come in the Lume Cube road map and we’ll never stop innovating. When our customers speak, we listen, and we believe that the Līfe Līte is the answer that many have been searching for” commented Lume Cube Founder and CEO, Mornee Sherry.

The success of Lume Cube originated from the early support of the Kickstarter community. For this reason, they are honoring their roots to release the Līfe Līte on the Kickstarter platform at a special early bird price today, October 29th. With your support, they’ll be able to achieve large scale production and begin sharing the Līfe Līte with the world.

Quick Overview: SpiderLight Holster and Plate


During our visit to PhotoPlus Expo, we stopped by Spider Holsters booth to get a first hand look at their new SpiderLight from their newest Kickstarter campaign that we posted a few days ago.

From what we saw, it looks exactly like the SpiderPro version but smaller but a step above the Black Widow. To our surprise, we were handed a package and guess what was inside...SpiderLight Holster and Plate!

For that, we bring you a quick overview of the SpiderLight Holster and Plate as well as a quick comparison to the SpiderPro and Black Widow.


We'll have a full review of the SpiderLight soon and hopefully along with the backpack adapter and pad.
