Maxima has released the Rapida, a compact, battery-powered, LED spotlight that weighs just 1.8 kg and supports direct V-Mount operation. It supports bi-color output from 2600K to 6800K, is rated IP54 for weather resistance, and reaches a maximum output of 23,000 lumens. Few lights in this category offer a truly integrated design with no ballast or external cables. Here’s a closer look at what the Rapida brings to the table! Maxima is an Italian company that takes an ethical, “sustainable manufacturing” approach to their products. As with their Maxima 6 GaN Light, the Rapida reflects this commitment with an energy-efficient design, a zero-waste additive manufacturing process, and composite non-conductive materials. Fast transition between power sources The Rapida runs at full brightness whether plugged into AC or powered by a V-Mount battery, with no difference in output. Switching between the two takes just a few seconds and doesn’t require any adapters, external ballast, or power-down. With the right battery specs (10A at 14.8V or 8A at 26V), it can run at full output for close to an hour on a 145 Wh pack. (Batteries that fall short may cause the light to malfunction or risk damage to the fixture or battery, so your battery’s specs should be checked.) Maxima’s patented thermal design regulates heat, extends runtime, and minimizes energy use. It’s one of the few battery lights in this class built for battery-first operation, without the usual trade-offs. Maxima Rapida with battery.
