Elgato Key Light Air - Professional 1400 lumens Desk Light for Streaming, Broadcasting, Home Office and Video Conferencing, Temperature and Brightness app-adjustable on Mac, PC, iOS, Android

I've been a part time gaming streamer for a year now. I bought the Key Light Air to replace a lower end light by Neewer that I had been using with a soft box to provide some real diffusion to the light because the combination was big and bulky and was just in the way all the time. I use two key lights, one high on the right, and the other low on the left to light both myself and my green screen when I stream. This replaced the left light. Here's what I found: 1) It's TINY. I expected something about the size of my previous light without the shutters and soft box. 2) The edge lighting on the Key Light Air and the multi layer panel provide a consistent, diffused, and bright light that seems to come from everywhere. The diffusion is amazing and far better than a soft box. 3) It's bright. My previous light had 200SMD LEDs and I ran the Key Light Air at the same percentage of brightness. 4) App adjustability was very handy. Instead of "Putting up with it" when my ambient lighting or the shirt I was wearing caused weird lighting issues, I can quickly adjust the light while still watching the camera. 5) Stream Deck compatibility for turning the light on/off, changing brightness and warmth means I can sit straight while making the adjustments, so I don't have to keep moving around because of changes in shadowing. This also makes adjusting it very fast. 6) The weighted desk stand is sturdy, functional, and low. I thought I might have to use the old base I had bought to bring the light down, but it works great. 7) You might as well replace all of your lights with this because you'll end up wishing you bought more at the same time. I get annoyed now having to stand up to work with the old light. While I wasn't excited about spending so much for another light when mine work, I'm very happy with the purchase and plan to buy a second one. I know Elgato isn't the cheapest option out there, but I've been very happy with the quality of their items I've purchased and the value they provide. After buying the other lights, soft boxes, and another stand, I only saved a few dollars over buying the Elgato Key Light Airs up front. I should have spent the additional money up front.

First this is a great product. It is definitely worth the money. The only issue, and this is a big one, is the set-up. I could not get my Elgato key light air's to work with my computer/modem. The solution was to use my iPhone to control the lights. I bought two lights. In my opinion, anything more than two of these lights is overkill as you can use something else (e.g., lamps) to provide additional light if necessary. My Broadcom 80211ac adapter has 2.4 and 5 GHZ options. For whatever reason it will only connect my computer with the 5 GHZ speed though I am able to use either 2.4 or 5 GHZ on my iPhone. So after spending hours with Elgato technical support trying to get the control center app to recognize my light airs I gave up and connected to my iPhone. I set the IPhone at 2.4 GHZ (this is required as it will not work at 5 GHZ), downloaded the control center app onto my phone (using the apple store) and the app finally recognized the air light devices. That said, getting it to recognize two lights required a bit of playing around with the settings on the IPhone. So to help others, here is how I did this. First you turn on the light air, hold the button on the device near the on off switch, pressing it down until the light flashes three times. Then after the light turns on, you turn it off, and then back on. You then go to your iPhone settings and the WIFI section and then add the light air device in the iPhone. You then go to the control center app and it should recognize your new device. To get the second light to work you go through the same process (after turning off the first light). With my iPhone when adding a new device in the WIFI section it still showed the first device name even though it treated this as a new second device. When you go to the control center app wait a little bit and turn on both lights (actual lights) and both lights will show up in the Control app. So the tricky part was it appears you are not adding a new device on the iPhone in the WIFI section when you actually are adding a new device though the description doesn't change (it does not change the first device's name). So then you go to the control app and turn on the two lights and poof there are your lights in the control app. That said, if you switch back to 5 GHZ you will not be able to use your lights. So if you want to use the lights you must have the WIFI setting at 2 GHZ not 5. Elgato was very happy I was able to get this to work so call them as there should be a ticket on how my two lights were set-up. Cheers and good luck!

My Zoom calls used to be so poorly lit when working from home. Given that I'm in a room that was supposed to be a bedroom that I converted to an office, it has the normal overhead ceiling fan kind of light fixture. That light would blow me out on calls and have lighting in all the wrong places. My face would be too dark, or the sun would come through the window and create all kinds of other issues. I bought two Elgato Key Light Airs and they've been amazing! Easy to put together right of the box. They come with stands that, in the lowest position, can be perfectly positioned on my desk. They can be controlled manually or from software you can download to your computer. You can also control them from the Elgato Control Center app you can get from the Apple or Google app store. I highly recommend the app. In order to control the light(s) this way, you need to pair them with your wifi network which was extremely easy. For controls you have complete control over the warmth and brightness of the lights. Since I have two lights, I chose to link them together and they when I move either slider via the ap, both lights adjust at the same time. I also give Elgato bonus points for the packaging and package design. It is in a very sturdy box so there's no risk of damage in transit and the light and its components are individually wrapped inside. Definitely a first class experience worthy of an unboxing video, but that's not my thing. :)

All right here's the thing about this light it does what it says as advertised, Keep in mind give a 5 star review, So I'm just mentioning something that gay didn't mention, When you turn the light on it turns on all the way and then shuts off and then slowly turns back on to full brightness I don't know why it does this but I have two of them and they both do the same thing. I'm mentioning this because they didn't and your opinion is broken when you first get it.

Pros: Bright LED Wireless Sturdy build quality App control Adjustable temp Lock multiple units to the same settings or adjust individually using the app. Cons: I find the transition between certain lighting temps to be a bit abrupt. Have had a few random disconnects from one of the two units I purchased. Lack of physical controls - makes these lights useless without the app and WiFi. Footprint of the base is large. Price - there are more competitively priced options. TLDR: Great lights with a nice suite of features. Buy them if they fit into your budget and are looking for these features from a reputable brand.

These work really well. I just wish the app was a little better. You can get by with the app but sometimes it would freak out and do weird things. There might have been an update since I bought them, which I didn't do, so maybe they work better than my experience.

This light is meant to allow you to replace the big, bulky softbox lights. It's super convenient and doesn't take a lot of real estate. Not to mention, how much of an eyesore those box lights are. I got the Key light and the smaller standing version for my office. My wife is a marriage coach and her office has several video lights, including one huge box light. When she saw my setup, she asked me to get her one as well so we can toss the box light. The quality of this light is very high. It's got weight and feels like it will last. Doesn't look cheap either (like a lot of lighting). The desktop app makes it so easy to turn on the light (or group of lights) with one click. It remembers your color and intensity settings as well. You can adjust right from your desktop with sliders for both color and brightness. I hope this review helps the company and you to make up your mind. If you get this key light, I think you will be impressed. See ya! - B

I ordered 2 of these. 1 was perfect however the 2nd one did not have the USA part to plug it in, it had a duplicate of an international plug therefore was useless! I tried to call and email and received a suggested settlement for $5.00. Really? Then it’s not returnable? It could have been an easy solution to either mail me the part or exchange the one that was missing a part… Since I received no response I decided to return them both. Will find another like product that is customer centric! They tried to make me pay for return postage, still waiting to hear if the label I was sent is paid by them. So dumb… UPDATE 4/16 - Was able to get with customer service and they are sending me the missing part. Yes it was a packing "part" error but the initial response I received for a $5.00 credit was frustrating. They have since been FANTASTIC and communicative and we worked thought the options together so we are GOOD. Hope it works when I get my plug to use it. LOL

I really like the light that these Key Light Air make (bought a pair). It's flicker-free and able to produce a lot of light, as well as changing the temperature of the light, while still being not so hard on your eyes. Had some trouble connecting them to my wifi through my phone, took a while.

Old/used product.

Die Elgato Key Light Air ist für mich eine der besten Investitionen gewesen, wenn es um die Verbesserung meiner Video- und Streaming-Qualität geht. Ich nutze die Leuchte hauptsächlich für Live-Streams, Videoaufnahmen, Videokonferenzen und Content Creation. Der Unterschied zur normalen Raumbeleuchtung ist enorm. Das Licht wirkt deutlich professioneller, das Gesicht wird gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet und die gesamte Bildqualität der Kamera verbessert sich spürbar. Besonders positiv gefällt mir die hohe Lichtqualität. Das Licht ist angenehm weich und sorgt dafür, dass keine harten Schatten entstehen. Dadurch wirken Aufnahmen deutlich natürlicher und professioneller. Gerade bei längeren Streams oder Videoaufnahmen ist das ein großer Vorteil. Die Helligkeit lässt sich sehr präzise einstellen und auch die Farbtemperatur kann individuell angepasst werden. So kann man jederzeit zwischen wärmerem und kälterem Licht wechseln und die Beleuchtung perfekt an die Umgebung anpassen. Die Einrichtung war unkompliziert und schnell erledigt. Dank der Steuerungsmöglichkeiten über die Elgato-Software lassen sich Helligkeit und Farbtemperatur bequem direkt vom PC aus anpassen. Das spart Zeit und macht die Bedienung besonders komfortabel. Auch die Verarbeitung überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Die Leuchte wirkt hochwertig, stabil und durchdacht. Trotz ihrer kompakten Bauweise liefert sie eine beeindruckende Lichtleistung und benötigt dabei nur wenig Platz auf dem Schreibtisch. Was mich besonders begeistert: Die Key Light Air sorgt nicht nur für bessere Videos und Streams, sondern reduziert durch die gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung auch die Belastung für die Augen bei längeren Sessions. Nach vielen Stunden Nutzung kann ich sagen, dass die Leuchte absolut zuverlässig arbeitet und genau das macht, was sie soll. Wer regelmäßig streamt, Videos produziert, online Meetings abhält oder generell Wert auf eine professionelle Ausleuchtung legt, wird den Unterschied sofort erkennen. Mein Fazit: Hochwertige Verarbeitung, hervorragende Lichtqualität, einfache Bedienung und ein deutlich professionelleres Erscheinungsbild vor der Kamera. Für mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Ich würde die Elgato Key Light Air jederzeit wieder kaufen.
