The FirePak is a mobile light source designed to enhance smartphone video recording in low-light conditions and serve as a portable power bank and illumination tool.
Function Description:
The primary function of the FirePak is to provide powerful, high-quality illumination for filming HD video with a smartphone, especially in low-light environments. It features two high-performance LEDs that generate up to 1,500 lumens of light, specifically designed for 16:9 HD videos, with an effective range of up to 50 feet. Beyond its lighting capabilities, the FirePak also functions as a portable power bank, allowing users to recharge their smartphones or other electronic devices using its integrated Li-ion battery. It can recharge smartphones up to 1.5 times, depending on the model. Additionally, the FirePak can be used independently as a handheld illumination tool, providing a powerful portable light source for various situations.
