Made by German firm Priolite, the monolights and powerpacks dispense with the need for power cables, which should make them suitable for location shoots.

The new line includes the MBX500, a 500-watt unit that comes with an 80-watt LED modelling light to help save battery power. It costs £1,079.

While, top of the range is the MBX1000, priced £1,249, which is designed to deliver 1000 watts of flash power. Powered by a lithium-ion battery it boasts a flash sequence of up to five flashes per second.
