Review on 🔦 Falcon Eyes RX-24TDX 150W Roll-Flex LED Light with Honeycomb Grid Softbox: Bi-Color Dimmable 3000K-5600K Light, DMX Compatible (24TDX with RX-24TDXSBHC) by Mark Hobbs

These lights are THE BEST. I've had them for a long time and they're quickly replacing all of my softlights, including my Kino 4ft 4banks. I bought three (one RX24 and two RX18) and bring them to every shoot. I'm a cinematographer in Los Angeles and my bosses absolutely loved these "cheap lights". The color at the end of daylight is best. The color on the tungsten end is magenta for hair, so I wear some 1/8 plus green if needed. Most of the time I don't notice it. All of these lights are very bright. I often dimmed them down to 10-20% for interview coverage. For fill lighting, 1% is often too bright. Ha. You can definitely push them through full silk for soft, basic interview coverage. Looking back, I think the RX18 is better. They come with a pancake lantern attachment, while the RX24 doesn't. While the RX24 comes with an egg crate, my RX18 doesn't have one. I had to purchase the eggcrate softboxes for the RX18 separately for $79 each, but it was worth it. Not sure if they are coming with RX18 now or not. The ballast and power supply are definitely smaller on the RX18 and I would like to have three matching ballasts and power supply in my three-lamp set. One small note, but I have to explain to the crew every time that you can't connect a large ballast and power source to smaller lights. Some ways to use this light: You can attach it to anything with Velcro or paper tape - ceiling, wall, car ceiling, etc. You can use it on cheap photo poles as they weigh next to nothing. You can roll them up into small tubes to light up above bathroom mirrors, under trellises, etc. vanity style. A pancake lantern means I no longer have to carry around china balls and dim lightbulbs. The only downsides to these lights: 1) The weight of the ballasts and power packs. For travel, the kit gets pretty heavy. 2) They are a bit slow to set up. You need to assemble the softboxes, attach the diffuser and egg crate, connect the ballast, power supply and connection cable. It's not really a big deal, but it's definitely not the same as putting a Diva on a stand or opening a Lowel Rifa. 3) Velcro straps start to wear out when used where diffusers are next to softboxes. Repairs may be required in the future. A hot glue gun should help. 4) One more thing, RX24 has knobs and RX18 has buttons. I was very concerned that these handles would eventually break, so I am very careful when packing the light. But now I think I prefer buttons over buttons. If you take the RX18 ballast to move, change the color temperature and dimmer settings as the buttons are very sensitive. I have to check it all the time before I stop because it happens all the time. It would be great if there was an additional button to lock settings. The design of the Kino Freestyle is much better with a handle at the end of the ballast where it doesn't break when packing.
