Review on 🎥 VILTROX VL-200T Bi-Color Dimmable LED Video Light - Remote Wireless Control, Ultra Thin 3300-5600K CRI95+ Studio Photography Panel - Photography, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Live Streaming, Zoom Meeting by Bill Lyons

As I continued to build my video lighting systems, I bought a Viltrox VL-200T as a simple addition to my battery powered panel. I already have a small Supon L122T panel light with a very similar interface. This was one of my first flashlight purchases as an upgrade from some cheap homemade rigs I had used before and I really liked them. Since the Viltrox has a very similar interface I thought it would make a nice addition to my rig and dress up a small case. In my photos I show both Viltrox and Supon for comparison. First of all, the design is similar to the Supon LT122T flashlight. It comes with a lightweight adapter to quickly turn the light stands on and off. It won't be a bombproof tank, but I don't want that either. I wanted something light and simple that I can take with me to the place. Powered by the included AC/DC power adapter or two NP-F batteries (not included), you have flexibility. So far I've mostly used battery power because it's much easier without a cable. Who likes dangling cords? However, it's important to make sure you have enough power to shoot, so it's important to keep your battery under control as well. The controller itself is simple and identical to the Suppon L122T. It has a power switch and a button. Press the button to toggle between Intensity/Brightness, Color Temperature and Channel. The built-in monochrome backlit LCD display (blue color) clearly shows the intensity percentage and the color temperature in Kelvin. The intensity can be adjusted from 20 to 100% color temperature (in 1% increments) and from 3300 to 5600 K in 100 Kelvin increments. You can also use the included remote control if you use two AAA batteries. The remote connects to the light instantly and has a backlit LCD screen (green). Management is intuitive. Touch +/- to change color temperature or intensity. Note that you can hold down the intensity button to advance in 5% increments and press to advance in 1% increments, which is handy. with about 2x size and batteries. It is rated at 2450 lux at 0.5m and is at its brightest at 4400K as all 96 LEDs are on at maximum brightness. The larger panel size makes the light relatively soft and has a built-in diffuser screen. I was surprised at how soft it was as the spread isn't as good as the Supon (see comparison photos) but it actually looks pleasantly soft on this subject. It won't win any awards in the brightness department, but it can be used as a softkey light when close to the subject, otherwise it's great for filling, accenting, or highlighting! Nevertheless, I like the high color rendering index of 95+, which ensures razor-sharp color rendering. I'm still giving 5 stars for the brightness because it performs as well as I would expect from a flashlight of this size, weight, form factor and price. I have purchased many lights over the past few months as I am expanding my lighting equipment toolbox and I am impressed with the size, convenience and value of this light. The dual tone feature gives me some flexibility in choosing things based on what I need to capture. The 4400K is a bit warmer at max brightness than I'd like, but that's easily enough to compensate for it in-camera to some degree. In conclusion, I really appreciate the portability and convenience of this flashlight. It's a great value and I use it a lot when I don't want to lug around big, clunky lanterns. I recommend!
