I am a news photographer and work the early morning shift. A lot of times I am working in the dark before the sun comes up or even earlier when called in.
I broke my on-camera light a while back and have been on the hunt for a small, bi-color, bright, and not too expensive light that I can stick on top of my camera. I wanted something I can keep attached to my camera.
This light seems like it'll do job just fine. It's bright enough for my needs doing interviews when bringing full light kits is not possible. A lot of times I get called out to accidents, shootings and fires in areas where it is dark and I need to park a few blocks away and walk to the scene. I'm not lugging around light kits.
I also find the controls simple. Use the dial to adjust the settings. The screen is small and shows all the information needed such as brightness levels, color temperature, hue degree, and battery bar. Couldn't ask for anything more simpler.
It comes with a soft diffuser, which is great. My old light didn't and the light was a bit harsh. This will add a nice, soft and even exposure on people.
I am happy with my purchase and think this light will work out great for my needs.

Was blown away with the quality of the build and with how well the lights performed, so I ordered a second one almost immediately. A removable silicon cover provides diffusion. Considering purchasing one more to complete a portable light set up.

I got these to give an extra boost to close up shooting, or for fill light when I am doing photography or video. I got two of them, and they both could easily fit into one pocket. They put out a good bit of light for their size, and are adjustable when it comes to color temperatore.
I travel a lot and these are so handy, I even bring one along when I am not doing photography or video. I primarily use them in my line of work, but they are so inexpensive and useful, I always throw at least one in my suitcase when traveling.
These are good for closeups of food photography, fill light, or to illuminate a dark room enough to photograph. I also like that they are easily handheld, so if I am out somewhere even with my iPhone and not one of my cameras, like at a restaurant I can whip it out of my pocket and illuminate a food serving quickly before causing any disruption or distraction. This is one of my favorite photo accessories.

this light is more than what i needed. i can use it on a cold shoe mount as an on camera light or a solid fill light. it gets very bright and being able to charge it is a plus. the controls are intuitive

A versatile light bar that can do anything.
I use this video light mostly for when i want to solder or need a spot light for fixing things. Sometimes i use it at night for when i do a little BBQ i can set the ambience of the light to a warm setting (3300k). The Construction of the camera is built very good. The small information screen is very easy to read and adjusting the settings with dials are very simple.
Pairing the light with a Joby Gorillapod makes this my go to light for anything.
The battery life is decent, it lasts about 2.5 hours at settings (6000k @ above 45%), if the battery runs out, i can still use it while charging, it's awsome.

The light is extremely versatile in colors and dimness. The battery life is incredible as well. I use it to take photos of cookies and even late at night or early in the morning the light is able to adjust to what color and brightness I need. I plan on purchasing several more for a full setup!

This is a must have for any aspiring filmmaker who needs a handy portable light. Ita also handy to use as a regular light too.

I don't have an external flash on my camera so I needed additional lighting for my macro shots. This little light is a great piece of equipment. In addition to the regular lighting you get a multitude of colors to play around with on your shots and also a bunch of different effects (some of which I'll never use but it's nice to have them). I thought about buying the name brand light that started all this but it's SO much more expensive for my use I won't get my money's worth. I have a few other Kentfaith products and I've very satisfied with them and their brand. This video light is easy to use (once you figure out how to change the settings, colors and effects) and is very compact.
If you are a amateur photographer who isn't a blogger or professional videographer this will more than suffice for your needs. I can't comment on the battery life since I just received the light and I haven't had it long enough to have the battery run down.

I LOVE my new light! It's versatile and I absolutely love that I have color options! Here I used it to photograph my black cat using my pro camera. I had the soft cover on when I took this photo. It's a game changer for sure! I am using it to record videos and to up my selfies on my phone as well!

The light is easy to use and comes with a couple of features. The only problem I have with it is, there's no app support for it. You can mount this light on your camera to get some light when needed.
