One of the cheapest full featured RGB lights

There are a few things about this lamp that really stand out to me. While a magnetic backplate is becoming a standard feature on many of these lights, I wasn't expecting the metal body from something in this price range. Interestingly, this is designed to act as a heatsink to run at full power for extended periods of time, although it stays fairly cool in use. The ends appear to be plastic with metal tips. I like how the corners of the ends are angled to provide a stable angle for placement and to keep the stick from rolling. Another nice touch is the real carbon fiber label. I mean it's totally unnecessary, but I appreciate the subtle weave that gives it that premium feel. But the biggest surprise was how easy it all works. I have a habit of completely ignoring the manual - and this is one of the few photo devices that is actually very easy to master once you get your hands on it. The lightness continues in the application. To be honest I tried to figure out the bluetooth connection with the light to pair it with my phone but when I opened the app it seemed to already be paired. I didn't do any pairs at all. However, I'm wondering how this would work for multiple RGB lightsticks. I noticed that there are multiple groups in the app, but I haven't checked them. I will no doubt be taking more of these. The instructions are actually very easy to understand. Light quality is excellent - no hotspots, and unlike other portable RGB lights I've owned, you can't see individual LEDs. sleeves for him. Something like a velvet storage bag will help protect the OLED display and light tube. Another thing I noticed is that while the flashlight can be charged while in use, it only charges with a regular USB charger that doesn't support PD (Direct Power, High Speed) charging. When connected to a high-speed USB charger, it will not charge. Charging is slower (the manual says 3 hours) but that's probably for the best as fast charging can actually decrease battery life.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
