Full Creative Control in the Palm of Your Hand
Designed by renowned photographer Jerry Ghionis, the Ice Light 3 gives you the freedom to shape light exactly how you want it. Its seamless diffusion produces soft, natural-looking illumination without harsh hotspots, making it ideal for skin tones and close-up work. Despite its compact size, it delivers impressive brightness and colour fidelity that comfortably meets the demands of both photo and video production.
RGBWW Colour Modes and Precision Control
The Ice Light 3 offers multiple colour modes to suit any creative brief. Use RGB mode to dial in custom colours, HSI for fine control over hue and saturation, or CCT mode to match ambient light from warm tungsten to cool daylight. The built-in green and magenta adjustment helps fine-tune colour accuracy, while smooth 0 to 100 percent dimming lets you set intensity with confidence.
Flexible Power for Studio or Location
This kit includes a removable battery grip that allows you to work untethered when mains power is not available. The battery grip recharges in around two hours and supports USB-C trickle charging while in use. For longer sessions, the Ice Light 3 can be powered continuously using the included 4.9 m USB-C cable with a suitable power adapter, power bank, or V-mount battery.
Fast, Intuitive Control
Settings can be adjusted directly on the light using the clear OLED display and onboard buttons, or wirelessly via Bluetooth using the free Westcott StudioLink app for iOS and Android. The app makes it easy to group multiple lights, save scenes, and adjust settings remotely, which is especially useful for overhead or hard-to-reach placements.
Precision Lighting with Adjustable Barndoors
The included slide-and-lock barndoors make it easy to shape and control spill, helping you focus light exactly where it is needed. They lock securely in place during use and can be quickly removed for compact storage when packing down.
Versatile Mounting Options
With nine integrated mounting points, the Ice Light 3 adapts easily to almost any setup. A built-in NATO rail allows quick attachment to cages and rigs, while multiple 1/4"-20 and anti-twist 3/8"-16 threads provide stable mounting on stands, brackets, and grip accessories.
Lightweight and Travel Ready
The Ice Light 3 weighs approximately 0.73 kg with the battery grip attached, or around 0.45 kg when used in AC mode. The light measures around 45.7 cm on its own, extending to approximately 64.0 cm with the battery grip fitted. Everything packs neatly into the included hard-shell case, which has space for the light, battery grip, and accessories, making it easy to travel light without compromising capability.
