Tricky Switch in Lighting & Studio

This is a direct review without actually using the product, although I have loaded and tested it. The product is neatly packaged in an approximately 5 x 9 x 1 inch box and housed in a protective foam insert inside the box. In addition to the flashlight, the box contains instructions, a mini tripod ball head, USB-C and micro-USB charging cables, and a shoulder bag. The lamp is the size of a large and wide mobile phone. On the back is a tiny (about Β½ x ΒΎ inch) color screen that displays information. The hardest thing about this flashlight is using the plus/minus switch/dial on one end of the flashlight. The switch/knob can be pressed and moved up or down. Do not use excessive force when using this switch/knob. If you use too much force you can jam the switch and have to fiddle with it to get it loose. (Guess how I found out about this.) The instructions (in English) aren't clear on how this switch/controller works. However, to switch from color temperature control to brightness control, simply press the switch/knob lightly (towards the lamp body). The triangular indicator on the screen will move to indicate whether color temperature or brightness is selected. Then move the dial in the plus or minus direction to change. Color temperature ranges from 3200K to 5600K and brightness ranges from 000 (essentially off) to 100 percent. The screen also shows how long the light can be used at the selected temperature and brightness. After figuring out how to tweak the settings for this flashlight, I'll update this review after actually using it.

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • For Seniors
