Review on Aputure AL-F7 On-Camera LED Light 256 LED Bi-Color Dimmable Video Light CRI 95+ TLCI 95+ Wide Range 3200K-9500K 260g Lightweight Compact, 100,000 Hours Long Lifetime by Jon Dugan

I have not used this LED light extensively so my rating is based on the short time I have used it since the day I received it. I bought it for food videos and photography that I sometimes take home. Nothing fantastic. It's not as bright as a real studio light, but bright enough for its size. I can only compare it to the Aputure AL-MX because it's the only light I have. Obviously it's brighter than MX in terms of distance, I mean when I compare MX and F7 at 50% power output I think MX is brighter than F7. But when the subject is a few feet away, F7 is brighter. I assume that's because the F7 comes with those clear plastic dome lenses that help focus the light in one direction (like a spotlight), rather than the MX, which has an exposed LED that creates diffused light. I can't say much about this lamp. because it's one of my first LED video lights that I bought. But the quality is ok for me. The case is made of plastic, but looks solid. I also really like the accessories that come with it. It came with a ball mount that is way better than the MX. Two diffusers, milky and slightly transparent. And a USB-C cable. It doesn't come with a battery, so bear that in mind when purchasing one. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it's plastic. I would like something more solid. Like MH.
