now have 6 lamps with almost identical function and size to this lamp, so I will refer to my experiences with those lamps for comparison. This is a small battery LED (bi-color and fully RGB) with probably the coolest design of all the lights I have, and very simple operating modes. This version of the light is stealth black on black on the back so if someone tries to use it the first time it's hard to read what each button does, but it looks cool and doesn't have the bright white paint if that happens in the picture. I would like the scrolling of the buttons to provide faster action (e.g. it takes a while to scroll to 100% or to 1%) and I feel like the brightness isn't as strong as some of my other similar lamps, but the color temperature measures very accurately and the battery seems to last very well. I have pictured the LEDs at 4000K with 1% brightness to show the number of LEDs and arrangement. I've owned MANY K&F products over the years, including tons of ND and VND filters, tripods, etc., and these lights fit the same high-end build quality as the other K&F products. There are two magenta on the back that you can slightly see through the transparent back. They hold REALLY well on nice flat metal surfaces, but even on a round post they can hold if placed properly. It comes with 1/4 20 screw holes on the top and bottom, and a 1/4 20 cold shoe holder is included. It's worth noting that there is no cold shoe slot built into the lamp itself (for stacking lamps), so you'll need a 1/4 20 to 1/4 20 screw to connect two together. Not a deal breaker, but I often plug my lights in during storage to keep them all together. The overall performance is great, and the build quality and style (if that matters) can't be beat. These are beautiful lights!

really love this LED Light personally! When purchasing, I was just looking for an LED light for me to take better pictures in dim lighting conditions. But after receiving it, I immediately fell in love with it! IT IS SO CUTE! The package is like a tofu and I really like the design: big text on the back, and the orange-yellow knobs on the side. The knobs have clear feedback at each location and I can really see all the different light that I easily control! I was also surprised by the 21 interesting lighting effects. They are so vivid! I kept playing with it for an hour and the joy it brought to me was way more than just an LED light. It made my day!

The K&F Concept 5-in-1 Reflector is a cleverly designed and multipurpose accessory that is lightweight, convenient and portable. Reflectors are a fundamental tool in the image maker’s kit. In this case, you have five, but carry one.

When I first saw it, I wondered how K&F Concept was going to supply five separate, unique reflectors; a diffuser and four colored ones. So, what’s the trick?

As I already mentioned, its cleverly done. The collapsable, folding inner frame is the diffuser. Zipped around it is an opaque, reversible cover, the four surfaces of which make up the silver, gold, white and black reflectors. I understand that black is not meant to be reflective, but in this case, it has enough sheen that it’s not going to photograph pure black. If pure black is desired, then cut out a piece of black velvet that can be clipped onto the frame of the K&F Reflector. Otherwise, the black surface can be used, for example, placed over the subject while blocking the sun, putting the subject in shadow and giving a rim highlight to the hair with a blown-out background. Like on a beach.

The framed diffusion is useful outdoors between subject and sun, and in the studio, as a main light source with artificial lighting coming through it. The reflective surfaces are, of course, useful in any environment for controlling and projecting light, whether natural or artificial. And the black surface is useful for subtracting light, creating more contour or more dramatic shadow on a subject. Applications for the K&F Concept 5-in-1 Reflector are limitless.

The photographer/videographer’s medium is light, and controlling light to whatever extent is possible in a given environment is an essential skill for professional results. The K&F Concept 5-in-1 reflector is not only portable, lightweight and durable, but provides a convenient means of manipulating whatever light source is in use, outdoors or indoors, and will enhance any photographer’s kit. The reflector is supplied with a handy, zippered storage/carrying case.

This is not my first video light, and I’m sure this is a good video light. Color of RGB can be changed easily and the battery last relatively long, at least 2 hours as I tested. Will buy the second one if needed.

As someone who makes YouTube videos, I’ve accumulated a lot of little RGB lights over the years, but this is by far the coolest, I’ve seen. The overall design is similar to what you’re used to in that it has a CCT mode, RGB mode and some pre-set scene modes, but it’s the overall execution of how these are employed that really sets this little light apart from the others. The style is quirky and cool. It comes in a package that literally looks like a box of tofu. And where others would have boring buttons or sliders, this light uses giant knobs on the side have a fun retro-modern kind of vibe that actually work just as good as they look. From the bottom knob, you can switch it on, turn to CCT mode, RGB mode or the scene modes. The top button allows you to change the intensity of the settings in the various modes, i.e.: brightness, saturation, etc. And of course there’s a magnetic back and not one, but two tripod mounts - one on the bottom and one on the top. This is a really well-designed little RGB light that stands out in a crowded market place of similar lights. This light both looks great and works great - definitely would recommend.

Photography is the art of capturing light and sometimes the scene's lighting isn't what you want: too dim or too harsh or...

Flashlights can be very harsh, even when reflected off the ceiling. This enables you to reflect natural light onto your subject, or make the sunlight from a window etc more diffuse. Detachable covers enable you to add a golden yellow tint to the light, have a shinier but - because it's not entirely flat - textured reflection, or use it to block light instead.

I am amused at the instruction manual which only tells you how to get the opened reflector back in its bag: it's the classic 'twist into a figure eight, then compress into three circular layers' method for things like this and folding flying disks and hair catchers and...

You'll get it wrong the first few times, but it becomes very easy with practice.

This was my first experience with black diffusion filters. As someone who has always strived for the sharpest high resolution images, the whole idea of deliberately blurring the image seemed counterintuitive. However, I now understand the phrase 'cinematic effect' and the concept of softening portraits. Todays ever higher resolution digital images and harsh lighting can seemingly highlight any imperfections. With the use of these black diffusion filters, in association with a warmer lighting temperature, the unforgiving nature of digital photography can indeed be softened. As someone old enough to have shot a great deal of film, these filters are reminiscent of premium color portait film. This two pack - 1/8 and 1/4 diffusion, are a great starting point for a newbie to diffusion filters. K&F concepts product and packaging are, as usual, above their price point. The inclusion of 2 filters is an additional added value.

I did test this kit with 1/4 and 1/8 versions of the K&F 67mm Black Diffusion (Black Pro Mist equivalent).Let's go straight to the numbers and results:BLACK DIFFUSION 1/4- average light loss from f2.8 to f2.08- color temperature shift of 20K (twenty kelvin) towards the cooler side of the Kelvin scale (warmer color)BLACK DIFFUSION 1/8- average light loss from f2.8 to f2.09- color temperature shift of 20K (twenty kelvin) towards the cooler side of the Kelvin scale (warmer color).CONCLUSION:This set of filters behaves satisfactorily with the expected light loss at those diffusion levels and very little, not to say insignificant, color shift.The form factor is very light and thin, ideal for use in gimbal and compact camera setups.
