Great lights for wedding videographers

As a wedding videographer I was looking for lights for reception lighting, when I first heard about these lights I was very skeptical because people said they were bright and I had my doubts that it really was so bright. BEFORE I PROCEED, I HAVE TO SAY, THIS LIGHT FOR THE PRICE IS BRIGHT, VERY BRIGHT. I was also surprised and very happy with the size of this little thing which is perfect. I'm already packing a ton of gear for my wedding day, the last thing I need is to add some heavier lights, they're just the perfect size. I use a larger Sony NPF battery which lasts a long time at full power. Color accuracy is pretty good. *REMINDER: USE THE CORRECT WHITE BALANCE** The included barn doors are sleek too. Build quality is good, mostly plastic, but it feels sturdy and durable. I like how you can change the brightness more precisely. However, it doesn't have an LCD SCREEN, so you don't know exactly what number it's on. I love these lights but there are a few buggy things that don't hurt and more little things, I wish there was a more accurate transition from 3200k-5200k. Also the fan will come on at a certain point and it's not the loudest fan and depending on how close it is to you you might be able to hear it. But compared to my other lights, fan noise shouldn't be a problem to be honest. Aside from those few calves, I RECOMMEND THIS FOR THE PRICE AND VALUE. For $55 you get a great light that can be used as a spotlight for indoor and outdoor weddings.
