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

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 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.

Obviously this isn't enough for a huge project, but it's great for everyday use. It's very lightweight so I can keep it my purse until I need it for on the go shots. It's compact enough to put on top of a regular size camera without throwing it off balance or feeling awkward. There are different color options, but my favorite is warm white. You can also adjust the brightness.

I bought 2 and I used them in my Studio every now and then. Since it is RGB you can choose any color you want. Also has some lights behavior that you can choose as well as light Intensity. I feel satisfied with the product.
