Nicholas Schrunk, Creative Director, RedBull Media House, said of the Stella range: "We're always trying to push the limit of what production value we can bring to the most remote and logistically challenging locations around the world. For our productions we needed lights that weren't just reliable and consistent output and colour temperature, but we also needed them to be waterproof and reliable with the wear and tear of the extreme environments we were in.

"The power and flexibility of the Light & Motion Stella lights gave us an amazing filmmaking tool that we never had to question the durability and usability of. The high lumen output and factory sealed battery allowed us to shoot everything from studio interviews to full downpours and underwater with a single lighting option that was as beautiful as it was resilient."
Shawn Heinrichs, Emmy Award-winning Filmmaker, Blue Sphere Media, also said: "Light and Motion has come through again for me. Already the dominant player in the underwater lighting space, their new 'In Air' Stella lights set a new standard for light-weight, high-performance, fast-charging and super-portable lights for the documentary shooter on the go. I have scrapped all my LED panel lights for these power hitters that that tuck easily into my travel vest pockets!"
