Elgato Key Light: Professional Studio LED Panel, 2800 Lumens, Color Adjustable, App-Enabled, Mac/Windows/iPhone/Android Compatible, Metal Desk Mount Review

After years of playing around with different lighting configurations I finally have one that I'm happy with. These lights are easy to set up and adjusting the light while you are in front of the camera is a HUGE time saver. The choice of lighting and wireless adjustment features justifies the extra cost over cheaper hacks. Due to the configuration of my monitor and studio, I only use a subset of these lights. My green screens are lit by separate lights so I only have to light myself. These…

have had it for a year and this is the worst purchase i have ever made let alone video production. Insanely overpriced for a product like this. I bought two large RGB lights with stands with app functionality and more power for LESS MONEY. It doesn't even work. In the last 12 months he has responded exactly 8 times when it was needed and 57 times he had to reset settings (I counted). Besides that. it doesn't even restore functionality when that happens! Even though it was a separate issue for…

So I just bought one and spent all day trying to figure it out. The packaging states that the flashlight supports WPA/WPA 2 encryption as stated on the packaging. The problem I had was that the light kept finding and losing my current networks. I tried using both the Windows software and the iOS app. Everything I've tried hasn't worked. I restarted my network, restarted several times, reinstalled software on my computer and phone app, nothing helped. Then I tried setting my router to not use…

I know what you are thinking. 200 dollars. For the world. It's worth every penny. Easy to set up. Insane amount of control. Full light coverage. And it just looks great in your setup. The included stand allowed me to throw it on my desk minutes after rearranging some wires. This is a quality stand that gets the job done. Elgato Control software lets you control your light right from your desktop. This is very useful for setting the ideal brightness/color temperature when setting up your camera…

Well first off I know they seem expensive. I understand. I thought so too until I started trying to replicate all of their features. I had a whole list of materials to attach directly to the table, choose the right height, easily and accurately adjust the lighting settings, and so on. The final price was lower than the cost of these. So I bought two of these instead of trying to put together a proper rig with a few other items and I'm so glad I did. Two of them were unpacked, assembled, powered

I've heard about this kind of lighting for a long time, but it's always been very expensive. This fixture creates a beautiful, balanced and efficient light source for streaming and can even be used for general video/film production on a small set or even product lighting. Installation was easy, although since the table is a vintage (1940's) military table I had to come up with a creative alternative for my studio's light fixture. Since I couldn't mount the light to the table and didn't have…

Okay. I know I'll be late to the party, this thing hasn't been around for years. But I finally got one and paired it with a streaming deck and I can tell you - it's worth every penny. First a little about me to give you some context: By trade I am a professional VFX supervisor on major streaming shows. . I take a lot of photos and also do YouTube and Twitch streaming as a fun hobby. But I spend my life lighting with visual effects both on set and practically. This is my passion. So it depends…

I used LED fluorescent lamps in screen lamps to direct the light in one direction. It worked, but it was a pain. I was looking for something better and came across the Elgato Key Light. The light looked like it was perfect for what I need which is twitch streaming. They're made of metal and so far don't seem to get hot in use. At full brightness they're almost blindingly bright, and I actually use them at 3% and 6% brightness levels for streaming. It is this brightness that is shown in the…

I re-wrote this review after about a year of use. I've downgraded from 5 to 1 star because the network connection on these devices has become VERY unreliable and since that's the only way to turn them on and off, you can do it over the network. This is totally unacceptable. I can't even turn them on, let alone control them. You're only 10 feet from the router in sight, so this isn't a problem. Some of this may be software. (I'm running Catalina 10.15.7 on a Mac Pro.) They disappear from the…
