  • And they come with an orange filter for a warmer color tone as well
  • The filters are meant to use for different filming situations, they give you a yellow toned filter to give you a warmer color or to use when you are inside using indoor lighting, you also get a white filter for more softer lighter shots, this can be used when you are outside or by a window using natural light
  • Also can be use during the day with orange filter to provide a warm color, and a beautiful skin tone.
  • You also have the option of using two different filters, which have also come in handy when trying to find that right color

Reviews around value (4.81 of 5)

  • All in all it does a great job and is a good value for the cost.
  • This light is ultra bright and a great value, however, if you are planning on using it with sony NP Batteries, it does not work with them despite saying so in the product description
  • Not pro quality, but for this amateur it is a great value and seems well made for the price
  • I would rate it as a great value version of other far more expensive products
  • A little weird having to pack 6 AAs but for the price lights really well and adjust-ability of the dimmer and the difuser lenses in my mind make it a great value.

  • This light is bright and gets the job done for a great price.

Reviews around quality (4.15 of 5)

  • Somewhat harsh light, I suppose if you're at a wedding and are using this for video and the quality of light isn't an issue, you're in a wonderfully lit dining hall with disco balls all over, this would be a HUGE plus to have on your unit, the battery life, well the draw on the battery is quite supreme because the batteries which are a standard type (they fit on many different products so are voluminous here on Amazon from many sellers = lower prices); I ran a test and the light lasted approx 75 minutes with the smaller 2600mah battery, you can use a much larger 6900mah battery which I have yet to test out, but if the 1/3 size battery lasts a full hour+, that's good enough for me with having a few backups fully charged and ready to go in your bag
  • I do video with it and it definetly bumps up the quality of all my shots
  • I recommend this for any one with a good quality SLR or video camera.
  • Unfortunately, being that the plastic fastener that tightens onto the hot shoe is so plasticky and low quality that it won't tighten all the way
  • It's cheap, good quality, good light and great tone in skins

Reviews around filter (4.10 of 5)

  • It would be nice if there was a way to turn off every other light or had a darker filter.
  • Surprisingly bright, the two filters are useful for diffusion, and the option for AA batteries is handy
  • The filters have been very useful, as well as the dimmer functionality.
  • Super bright, nicely disable, orange filter is to orange
  • Only downside is that mine came with the clear and "orange" filter, but no "purple" filter

Reviews around work (3.86 of 5)

  • The dimmer works great, and is necessary for close work
  • Very bright you wont be dissappointed work great with video camera batteries doesnt get to hot and the plastic shoe is not bad feels sturdy
  • Not what I expected but it does work well for very close shots
  • Annoying that it doesnt come with some kind of battery pack, but AAs worked just fine.
  • These work really well, just be prepared to use a ton of batteries, because these lights will drain them fast.

Reviews around shoe (3.82 of 5)

  • Had to buy an additional hot shoe mount and screw it into the bottom.
  • I do dislike the fact that the cold shoe mount is screwed directly into the bottom of the light
  • The only thing that I do not like about this light is the tightening screw that it has for the hot shoe mount
  • Easy to mount on the hot shoe of a DSLR where the light weight is a definite advantage.
  • The only drawback I found was the cold shoe mount which I had to adjust several times in order to hold the light securely.

Reviews around material (3.73 of 5)

  • Made of cheap plastic material
  • Light is insanely bright, however the material feels pretty fragile and the battery doesn’t last too long at all
  • It brought the warmth of the light up to around 4500-4800 Kelvin while staying just as bright as without the gel
  • This is a good buy for anyone in the market to buy lighting and I will be using it atop my camera as well as on a tripod to light scenery
  • Only downside is cheap plastic material

Reviews around thing (3.28 of 5)

  • Even hand-held the thing for a lot of it ... and it worked perfectly
  • Only bad thing about this to me would be the fact that it's heavy
  • When turned on the 'power measurement' thing on the back doesn't work accurately but you dont really need to use this function to know when you need to put new batteries in or not, as the light does dim significantly when the power is running out
  • The nice thing is, it comes with adaptors for nearly every kind of battery you could think of
  • When turned on the 'power measurement' thing on the back doesn't work accurately but you dont really need to use this function to know when you need to put new batteries in or not, as the light does dim significantly when the power is running out

Reviews around battery (3.03 of 5)

  • Just buy the rechargeable battery because regular batteries will die after one use
  • I recommend not buying cheap batteries as it effects the performance of the light
  • Getting the rechargeable battery was worth it too but lasts long with aa batteries as well.
  • This works great in any situation2 - You can use regular AA batteries or get yourself the battery below with a charger and you have a longer lasting, rechargeable battery for it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007Q9PWQ/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_6At this price point there really isn't anything not to like.
  • Battery dies really quickly, even when using the bigger batteries

Reviews around mount (2.49 of 5)

  • She uses hers mostly for self portraits while mine is mostly used for macro because the rotatable mounting, works great for both!
  • This is a great addition to my purchase and allows for greater mounting options and uses.
  • With a better cold shoe mount it's five stars all the way around
  • Works on camera or mounted on tripod which is really nice.
  • The first event I shot with it, the light fell out of the hot shoe mount 4 times and hit the ground--you don't want to over tighten because it's cheap plastic

Reviews around plastic (2.21 of 5)

  • The threads on the hot shoe mount were stripped on the cheap plastic fitting
  • not all of us have the money to buy hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of lighting equipement, but turned out there is a 90$ solution, which gets the job doneThis is a Video Light which is formed by 160 LED’s, it comes in a 14*9.5cm body which means it’s pretty compact but feels really cheap, since it’s all made of plastic and it weights about 175g, , on the back of this pannel we find the Power Source which I’ll talk about in minute
  • It brought the warmth of the light up to around 4500-4800 Kelvin while staying just as bright as without the gel
  • just as described very bright comes with a nice some what sturdy plastic case for diffusers amber and frosted that just slides in tabs on the front of the light
  • It is made of cheap plastic, but you get what you pay for

Reviews around bite (1.95 of 5)

  • Only down side I have is that the camera it's self is a bit heavy so the screw part you put on your camera becomes a bit loose over time
  • Not a fan of the "Orange" diffuser though, it the color is consistent until around the very edged of the filter where it darkens quite a bit
  • Could not believe how bright the lights can e dialed up to.
  • Placing it in the hotshoe of a dslr is a bit bulky and awkward to carry around
  • It's really bright and sometimes I would get complaints to dim a bit

Reviews around room (1.38 of 5)

  • This video light has the power to light up a dark room and with the included gels u can warm up the bright led light source to give off more of a soft tungsten glow
  • It provides enough dimming flexibility to light up even the darkest room
  • Makes a huge difference even in well lit rooms
  • so events that are taking place in a very dim room may not be the best place to use this light
  • It won't light up a room like a Lowell Light Kit, but I love this for interviews
