    • a Sweet 16 and I pretty much embarrassed myself when the entire light slipped off the hot shoe and fell onto the floor

    • it is the scrolll wheel which will allow you to turn on, off and adjust the LED’s Brightness, next to it, is a button that will indicate you the amount of power your batteries still have, the LED lights will last for approximatly 50000 hours, and believe me they are pretty bright but on the other hand they consume a pretty big amount of power, talking about power these LED’s are hopped up with 6 double A
    • Could not believe how bright the lights can e dialed up to.
