Review on Pixel 2 Packs RGB LED Photography Lighting: Full Color Video Light with 552PCS LED Beads, U Bracket and Barn Door for Video Shooting by Shawn Reiter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best cheap RGB panel ever!

Purchased panels of 3 different brands. This was by far the best. HSL mode is pretty smooth and they are MUCH brighter than others I've tried. The design is strong, the body is thin and light. It feels like the designer of this brand actually worked with photo/video at some point, there are some details that make them more functional than the competition. It's a lot more than 2 lights and stand so you have room for power cords etc which is great. The supports themselves are fine, but all the cheap supports I've had that are assembled in a similar way (foot and toe bushings) failed within a year so I'm guessing they won't last long. Ask me in a year and I'll update the information. I wish they had a remote control if the light is too high to reach without a ladder, especially as they have built in wireless syncing between devices that works. flawless and super helpful. I'd love to see a remote or bluetooth app on future models, but the sync mode is great, super intuitive and works great. Disadvantage: lenses are very thin. Other manufacturers use a pluggable full board and that works much better. There are screw holes for the barn doors so you can probably make your own screw on diffuser. Haven't found a softbox that matches the light yet, although I'm sure one of the universal models is close enough. In general I am satisfied with the purchase. I was only going to get one panel but the price for 2 couldn't be better. If you want a good value RGB panel of this size then this is for you.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
