Pros & Cons
Pros
It's large enough to act as a soft fill light for vlogging, and to not blind you when you have it in your field of vision. It’s large, soft, versatile and makes home vlogs ect look awesome. Video or photography.
At the higher kelvin degrees, the light indeed moves towards the blue daylight balance but there's an underlying green/cyan tint that can't be corrected for. At 5500 kelvin, things warm us as you'd expect but again it gets off balanced with yellow now... Read More
V-mount battery plate is awsome! It's ok for a work light and really not bad or flimsy industrial design. Build quality is sturdy and made with a metal casing so that's a big plus.
This light is large but flat so very easy to transport. Comes with a sturdy padded case for travel. But nice metal construction, nice 'gig' bag.
I'm surprised these lamps are brighter than my old florescent bulb softboxes. These also have a volume that varies the light output thar you have to turn off each light to get less light. The light is so soft and buttery, no diff or soft boxes needed.... Read More
Cons
The one i received from amazon is defective in the 1-4% brightness range. The color temperature control is defective, with the color temperature jumping abruptly from 3200 kelvin something like 4400kelvin with one single click. Do not buy.
Highlights
Quality
My only gripe is the build quality of the remote that comes with it.
Overall a nice light source; bright, even, seems well built, and like the ability of the remote control and ability to power it... Read More
Direct led light panels create much harsher shadows and require a diffuser of soft-box.
My softboxes use 5x 60 watt florescent bulbs for each lamp and these neewer light panels are way brighter and consume less energy.
Price
Great price on a really useful light.
I paid $30 more at least than what used to be the going price.
Get them while you can at this price they will be in short supply.
For this price point, i would expect a stand.
Competitiveness
These light panels also match the color of my 5500k bank lights better than tmy florescent softboxes and supposedly the floresc... Read More

The add mentions the battery not being included quite a bit would be nice for a similar warning about the stand

Huge spectrum of lighting modes that will have you running in circles if youre not educated because you know you can make it better with just another adjustment

I almost wish it had controls to go lower and forgo some of the higher brightness levels because ill never need it to be that bright or else ill have to shield my eyes

You definitely want to get yourself a heavyduty light stand to hold this it has some weight to it and you dont it to topple over
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Lights wont be as soft as a softbox and i think i still prefer the softness you get from softbox lights especially since the brightness level at 1 is still pretty bright but if thats not a big deal to you this may be a good fit
