This light inspired me!

I like it very much. I've had this light on my wish list for a long time, it's a bit pricey and I didn't take that many photos to justify the price, but I ended up ordering it. I LOVE IT! It is so SMALL but very strong! I love that I can see the brightness and it has a little blue/yellow film that can add light and it's simple but effective. There is a small bag and a tripod adapter. It's all great! It's funny how this inspired me to take more photos around my house (I have a very cool house…

Pros
  • Useful not only for the intended purpose
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

It's bright and fits in weird places.

I work as a lighter in the film industry and use these lamps very, very often. I like you very much. They are very bright. Incredibly bright for its size. They fit in weird places: I use them to light up the interior of cars, I use them as under cabinet lights in kitchens, I use them as camera lights for moving shots, etc. They go everywhere. The magnetic diffusion on the front is wonderful. You can add more diffusion or gels to change the softness or color. The only downside is hardly an issue

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • For old

Best flashlight I've ever had

I loved them so much and found so many uses for them that I bought 4 more to replace some of the larger lamps in my box. The item is very light and small and comes with its own zipped bag which also contains a small set of gels, diffuser, cord and holder. I used them for all three of my lighting setups during the interview and they worked great as they can be dimmed. I've used them on and off camera but they really shine when you can find something in the background to accent the light like…

  • Fits me perfectly

Neat, portable, bright light source.

Ideal for on-the-go lighting for photos and videos and can also provide versatile accent lighting for landscapes. There are nine levels of brightness available, with the brightest setting producing quite a bit of power. It doesn't accept batteries, but it can be charged via USB, which is very convenient. The front diffuser panel attaches with magnets and allows the use of color gels to compensate for the inability to adjust color temperature. Each of the 9 LEDs is bright enough to act as a…

Pros
  • Good cause
Cons
  • Negative is provided

Light, compact, powerful

This light is essential for photography and videography and more recently for Zoom chatting and live streaming. It was surprisingly small and light, so I could easily take it with me when I needed it, or mount it on a small tripod and get the angles I needed. It charges easily (nearly docked to the point of not being USB-C, although that would be better) and holds a charge well. It also works while charging for virtually unlimited use. This is a must have for my kit and I highly recommend it…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

I wish I had bought this sooner.

It's amazing. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. You can tell it's been well remodeled. These are little things, for example when you turn on the light, it increases the brightness so as not to dazzle you when you turn it on. The little magnets that hold the front diffuser upside down so you can't attach it to the side. It works as long as it's plugged in, so you can literally have this light on all day (or longer while it's plugged in). What will bother you the most is that you…

Pros
  • understandable for the old
Cons
  • Some little things

Small and bright. Suitable for fill light, not key light.

Just received. Sent from China, arrived safely. Brighter than I thought, at 4ft this will provide a significant amount of object fill in camera. It won't light the stage for you, but it's very small and light. Smaller than a deck of cards, a bit thicker than my iPhone 6 and about the size of a playing or credit card. Comes with a zippered neoprene carrying case for flashlight and accessories. The shoe mount looks ok, but it probably won't last long if you just toss it in a production bag with a

Pros
  • Something above
Cons
  • Minor issues

Bright light. good color Terrible shadows.

Hmmm. I'm not sure if I'll leave this light. I like the concept very much. It's a nice bright light and the color looks pretty good. I give 3 stars for color, brightness and portability. But unfortunately, the design of this flashlight leads to some unflattering qualities when illuminating objects. The flashlight uses 9 LEDs spaced apart in sets of 3. So there are 3 columns of 3 LEDs spaced just over an inch apart. In order for this light not to be visible, the magnetic diffusion plate attached

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • So-so
