NEEWER2Pcs Professional Metal Bi-Color LED Video Lights for Studio, YouTube, Product Photography, Video Shooting, Durable Metal Frame, Dimmable 660 Beads, with U Bracket & Barndoor, 3200-5600K CRI96+

I’ve been searching for a way to get away from those huge soft boxes that take up so much space in my studio, and this Neewer LED light is the perfect solution! With 480 LED bulbs (240 white and 240 yellow), it delivers incredible, adjustable lighting from 3200K to 5600K, giving me the flexibility I need for any shoot. It made a huge difference in my studio – not only does it provide ample lighting, but it also freed up so much room to move around comfortably.The U-mount bracket is a dream, letting me tweak the angle however I need it, and the AC/DC power options are a fantastic bonus. I love that I can plug it in with the included AC adapter or go wireless with a Sony NP-F550 or NP-F970 battery (sold separately) for on-the-go shoots. The premium aluminum alloy build feels sturdy yet sleek, and I’ve used it on a stand, the floor, and even my desk – it’s so versatile! Plus, the carrying bag keeps everything organized.This light has seriously leveled up my workflow. If you’re looking for a compact, powerful lighting solution, this is the one for you!

I am extremely impressed with this little powerhouse light. Being from a budget brand like Neewer, I had pretty low expectations but I am extremely happy with this light. I needed a good, variable temperature backlight to contrast the other white lights I use for interviews, and this fills that niche extremely well without having to drop the $300, at minimum, for other brands.That said, it does have some tiny flaws (none of which are deal breakers) that I want to address first:- The LED's came with some kind of residue caked on them, I assume from manufacturing. I am unsure if it affected the lights brightness, but the residue cast speckled shadows on the diffuser and made it very noticeable. Was very tedious to get off, as it didn't come off easily and each bulb had to be wiped rather firmly with a microfiber cloth.- The U-Bracket is not entirely symmetrical, and one side appears slightly bent.- The power block (as others have mentioned) is too high up on the cord, so it dangles from the light when put on a stand. It doesn't feel like it will topple any respectable light stand, but it does seem like a moderate hazard. I think the entire cord needs to be a tad longer.All things considered, this light has no business being this good for $100. The pros I noticed right off the bat:- The thing is incredibly bright for its size, and is painful to look at with both the yellow and white LED's at 100%. It's probably 20% brighter with the diffuser off.- Feels much more durable than I expected with the almost entirely aluminum body and fixture. With many other studio lights, a single trip on a cord means shattered bulbs, but I think this little guy would have a decent chance at surviving a tumble.- The temperature adjustment works great. Nothing else to really say here.- Portability! Way more compact than studio lights with bulbs!- Having the option to run this dude on batteries is great, but you'll be dropping $50 for the two batteries it requires and a charger.- Pivoting U-bracket is great. Opens up options to light subjects from above or below.If you're looking for a cheap, adjustable light that doesn't suck – stop here. This is the one. It's not bright enough to bathe an entire studio in light, but I wouldn't expect that for any light this size. It works wonderfully for a fill light or backlight, and would work decently enough for a primary key light if portability is a priority for you, though it won't be as soft or bright as something brighter with a large diffuser.

UPDATE: I can add that these lights are also incredibly durable. I have one that's been smashed to a concrete floor several times when the 10' light stand it was mounted on was tipped over. I also ran over one with a riding mower (blades not spinning). They take a beating and keep on working.---------------------------------------------------------------------------I was quite honestly surprised at how good this light is.First of all, it's incredibly bright. Most of the time I'm running it at about 20% power. I didn't think I'd be able to, but I'm going to experiment with putting them in front of a large reflector or through a scrim. They have so much light output I think it'll work out fine to give me a softer light.I didn't realize it at the time I ordered, but being able to run on battery is incredibly useful. I've seen other reviews talking about the cost and requirements, but in reality a pair of batteries and a charger (Neewer brand) is only about $30. And the light will run quite a while on just one battery, you don't have to have both in for it to work. What's also nice is that a lot of other equipment, such as my camera monitor LCD screen, also use the exact same batteries.Another nice feature in conjunction with the battery mode is the fact that you can use the frame as a built-in stand, just tilt the bottom edge of the panel forward and set it on the floor/table with the light stand socket behind (making a triangle) and the light will stand on its own. It made lighting a shot underneath a car so easy.I use the light for video and haven't seen any flicker at all. However, my D800 has its built-in 60Hz flicker reduction enabled so I'm not sure that others won't see it.Overall, I'm super pleased with this light. I'm placing an order for two more.

These Neewer lights are AMAZING. They are perfect for travel service providers like myself and are both battery & cord powered. I wish it came with the tripod stand but still an amazing product.
