Review on πŸ“Έ YONGNUO YN600L Pro LED Video Light: Adjustable Brightness for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Samsung Panasonic JVC – 5600K Color Temperature by Dana Cardenas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

And those headlights are great.

I'm a bar mitzvah and wedding photographer and these lights are great. BUT, as many have said, the barn doors suck, the instructions suck because the company didn't hire a native English speaker to translate them. Also, you need to order a separate power adapter for them (or use a Sony camcorder). Batteries that last many hours, but why take the risk)? The only downside is that they're crappy shots if you get the right light (ie one that's only 5500K, or a double block that's both 3200K). and 5500 (half of the lamps in the fixture are 5550 and the other half are 3200). I have about 8 of these, and even after carefully going through each list to make sure I ordered the correct bulbs, 50% of the time I got a 3200/5500 (YL-600L) bulb, even though I really do have one 5500 (YL-600) light . Thank goodness Amazon is doing it right and taking care of it for me, but yeah. Out of 8 fixtures I got the wrong one about 5 times. Love the product though (and order the correct adapters for your stand if needed)!
