Relio is the smallest and most powerful Usb light on the market, and the only one to emit light with ultra-high color rendering index (Cri 92-96). Designed, produced and sold by three 25yr-old Italian guys. Sized at just 35mm, it's the most portable package they were able to conceive: powered by ubiquitous USB, pocketable, rugged, with a tripod socket on the bottom to be mounted everywhere. Two swappable TIR optics provide a perfect, artefacts-free beam. Aimed at professionals, it's made in Italy from a solid aluminium block, hand-sanded and hand-assembled with maniacal precision.

My name is Marco. I’m a 26yr old guy from northern Italy. My major weakness is that I like a lot of things! Since my time is a finite measure, I realised that the fastest way to learn something is to understand the inner workings. So.. here I am! A tech-savvy, product oriented guy with particular concern for electronics, physics, usability and life-improving solutions. I’m tech-savvy, product oriented guy with particular concern for electronics, physics, usability and life-improving solutions. My lifetime dream is to make a full-stack consumer product that closes the gap between hardware and software, to be finally able to handle something that won’t make me angry in the first ten minutes of use. I have a BSc in Computer Science / IT Security (full marks cum laude) from University of Milan. My friends label me the ‘know-it-all guy’. I hate that moniker, it’s not true!

Relio is born as the first project developed by three young friends to test their skills in making innovative hardware products. They managed all the aspects of it, from the design, logo, 3D-modeling, chain production and QA, marketing, website crafting, PR, brand registration and sales network. It took a lot of personal efforts and sleep deprivation to bootstrap it, and Relio is now having great success among enthusiasts and professionals in the photography business.
