Review on πŸ“Έ NEEWER CN-160 Dimmable Ultra High Power LED Panel Video Light for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Panasonic, SONY, Samsung, and Olympus Digital SLR Cameras by Antonio Bacon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very bright but mostly $40 since you have to buy a battery

Love how bright it is. I mainly use it for videos and studies (pictured), and a light illuminates most of the basement of this abandoned factory. My family often rents it out to use instead of a flashlight, for chores, or for night security. Everyone is amazed at how bright it is. However, putting in 8 AA batteries will not work in the long run. Since this light constantly consumes battery power even when it is off, it will be dead within a few days if you don't remove the batteries. In my apartment without air conditioning, new Duracell batteries leaked and rusted after 3 days of inactivity. Finally I gave in and bought the batteries for this flashlight, along with the charger, which cost another $20. It sucks but I have no regrets since I bought the batteries other than feeling cheated about this flashlight. On the plus side, the batteries last a long time and are easy to install and remove. Many accessories are available such as B. the softbox (pictured) you need for videos as this light is pretty harsh even with diffuser and dimming. I also bought some colored gel sheets and cut them to the shape of this light so I can snap them in at any time. Overall, this is very useful in many situations, but I just wish they had batteries with them.

Pros
  • Annual trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
