Great lights with a few issues

I got these lights because I've noticed ripples from the LED bulbs in my umbrella in my recent videos. I bought 2 sets and I have to say the following: 1. The panels don't take up much space compared to umbrella lights.2. They are insanely bright.3. The app is pretty easy to use and nice BUT you have to sign up for an account which I'm not a fan of - don't we have enough accounts already? 4. I love all the colors and warm/cold shades you can do. These things are super versatile.5. When the doors are closed, you can't tilt the lights as far as you'd like, but they're easy to remove.6. One of the barn doors was missing screws which is disappointing given the cost. I don't know how to contact GVM for replacement bolts and nuts. One of my wishes is better built-in softbox options. I would have preferred hard sheets that you could mount or something as the softbox that you can buy is a bit chunky although it doesn't add much bulk. Overall, I can't wait to use these lamps more and more in every video I make. I may need a 3rd one someday.
