The things that I love about this light is the brightness. These are super bright lights. The CRI is high and I notice that a lot when I am grading footage and how much I have to apply correction. It¡¯s awesome that they provide the diffuser because it is a must for softer lighting.
There isn¡¯t much to complain about, the stands could be slightly more sturdy but really for the price these package is amazing
Great for interviews & YouTube videos.

I have used these lights for several weeks now. At first I used them plugged in to 120VAC, but they also last a long time using good batteries – many days of shooting real estate advertising green screen videos clips. The ability to change the color temperature and brightness adds great flexibility in video production. For example, the silly clip I did using a cow pasture at sunset required me to match my own subject lighting in front of the green screen to the late afternoon lighting of the background video I was using.

I absolutely love this lighting kit. It comes with everything secured in one nice bag, and inside the light stands and the panels come in (I believe it’s felt) bags. Everything is well protected. These lights go from cold, to warm and in the middle. Normal gels (that are sold separately) just clamp or tape on over the barn doors to provide a nice accented color light if that’s what you’re looking for for.
These lights are controlled by either the dials on the back or the “GVM Easily” app. Super duper lightweight and perfectly bright for just about any situation now.
If you want to use it on battery power, It does REQUIRE both battery slots to have a battery for the device to turn on. Overall, would purchase again. Wish I purchased the rgb version but I didn’t have the cash. These are amazing.

If you are looking for an inexpensive lighting kit, here you are! I used these lights for photoshoots and a small independent film (about 6 people) and they were awesome!
They will suck the crap out of the batteries used (btw, each light uses two batteries – I missed that note somehow) so keep quite a few extra ones on deck unless you are going to use the power adapter cord.

These lights are truly amazing. I have already shot over 20 videos with these lights, and they make it so much easier for my viewers to see my videos. I love how I can adjust the temperature of the lights to warmer or cooler either manually or remotely with the easy to use app on my iPhone. I highly recommend these lights for anyone who is considering making movies, YouTube and photographs. Great quality electronics, strong metal stand & light housing, and quality plastic pieces combined. Easy set up and breakdown and comes with a nice case to put everything easily organized away.

I have lots of LED lights, in addition to at least 50 tungsten Arri, fluorescent, and inexpensive LED bulbs and lights. But I didn’t have a medium-sized LED light with a sturdy and adjustable frame. This set came with two lamps, two stands, and a carrying case. Forget the stands, unless you have no stands at all. These are the inexpensive ones that everybody includes in their kits. Okay for starters. The case is good. Now the lights: These are harsh, even though they come with a plastic diffuser. The good thing is that they have barn doors and you can clip a sheet of diffusion material onto them and have a mini Lowell Softlight effect. VERY GOOD FOR QUICK VIDEO PROJECTS. These two lights and a couple of LED spots for hair lights is all you’ll need for ‘run and gun’ projects. Highly recommended. I may get more. One last thing I forgot to include: The unit ran for 90 minutes on fully charged batteries. it would bviously run longer at lower output.

Exactly what I was looking for
I hardly bought these because there were so many comments from people in the stands.
Let me tell you, the lamp are great!
These lights are reasonably priced and they work well. While I haven’t had this video light long my initial thoughts are this is an incredible value. The light works as advertised, and included all the necessary accessories (e.g. charger, filters, stand etc.) One unit puts out a ton of light. Additionally, the light intensity is adjustable to support shooting in a variety of different settings. Only time will tell on how it will hold up but based on what I’ve seen to this point I would definitely recommend the product!!
I was very happy with the set, which is exactly what I was looking for and really improved my video quality.
£ºWonderful lights!
These are great lights, especially for the money£¡I’m very satisfied with my purchase as of now. Even if these last through just a year or two of consistent use, I feel as if the purchase will have been worth it. But, if taken care of reasonably well, I don’t see a why these lights couldn’t last longer than that. The most important thing for me is light output, but other than quick tests I have yet to be able to extensively experiment with them. As soon as I get a chance I will post my results.
