Phew, batteries. best in On-Camera Video Lights

Like. I'm an actor and bought four of these to light up my listening room. They work, and having the color filters came in particularly handy considering I'm pale and sometimes need a touch of color to take the shine off. However, storing batteries in flashlights can sometimes be a nuisance. Whatever the trick to storing batteries, I can't say I figured it out. Sometimes I just get lucky and they stay. I bought these lights in March and have been using them regularly since they arrived. I returned to this site because I need new batteries. Not because they fall out the back of the lights, I can handle them, but because the charge doesn't hold like I need it to. According to this description, the battery works for "several hours", but it does not mean that when the battery dies, the light also goes out. Before your battery dies, your lights will dim to about 10% of their full power. I spent all day recording five auditions because the batteries couldn't stay bright enough while we played them. And they take hours to fully charge - we had a start delay of at least three hours in hopes of fully charging the batteries before launch. At some point we got too impatient for that. The lights are compact, the body is great, being able to rotate the lights so far is amazing and I love the filters. These batteries are driving me insane. Photo from the evening when the lights were on. If you know how to manipulate them, they work great.
