This is an AMAZING light, I've used it on every shoot since I bought it, it's so versatile and powerful it's hard NOT to. I will likely order two or three more, the thing just practically guarantees perfect results. Note, you should be sure to remove the plastic stick-cover from the plexiglass panel, but that's about it in terms of preparation. I already owned a whole host of stands, so I didn't have to order any extra, but you should be aware that this doesn't come with one. I have to say, the warm light really brings out the green tone of a green screen and gives a distinctly summery look when shooting outside, and the pure white light is very clinical and cold. I almost always crank them both up to max, though, the effect is a daylight-balanced natural tone of light that really does look like natural sunlight or really natural incidental/environmental light in any scenario/location. Whatever you intend to use it for, though, GET BATTERIES, then after you get batteries GET MORE. I recommend these: DSTE 2x Replacement Li-ion NP-F970 Battery for Sony DCM-M1 MVC-CD1000 HDR-FX1 DCR-VX2100E DSR-PD190P NEX-FS700RH HXR-NX3 Camera as NP-F930 NP-F950 NP-F960 I bought a single set of two and it's been just barely enough on all the shoots I've been working on, BUT the lighting on those shoots has always been such that the light could be turned off between shots. If you have an especially long all-day shoot or if you are lighting a live event/broadcast of some sort, OR if you just hate charging your batteries all night every night, I recommend getting many more batteries. This beast of a light is a godsend, but it drains the life out of batteries faster than 8AM classes drain college seniors. I ALSO recommend getting a dual charger for your batteries; the light has two slots for batteries and putting two in at once means not having to switch in the middle of a shot, but it also means you better have both charged. So, gra one of these bad boys: NP-F970 Dual Charger for Sony NP-F550 NP-F570 NP-F750 NP-F770 NP-F930 NP-F950 NP-F960 NP-FM55H NP-FM500H NP-QM71 NP-QM91 NP-QM71D Panasonic VBD JVC V607 Camera with Digital Display Ultimately, I think I'll end up getting two more of these lights, two more chargers, and maybe four or five more sets of batteries. All that stuff together will fit in a large backpack or a suitcase, so it'll be an excellent portable continuous lighting kit that doesn't require any outlets, something every filmmaker and most photographers should avail themselves of. I've attached a couple images for which I used this light panel, just to illustrate what I used it for.

great quality for the price , will be ordering them again!

As an amateur photographer and occasional Zoom warrior, I was looking to step up my lighting game without emptying my wallet. This Neewer 2-pack LED lighting kit turned out to be just what I needed. The kit includes two LED panel lights, two sturdy albeit lightweight stands, white diffuser filters, and power adapters – basically everything to get going. Setup was super simple: I had both lights assembled and on their stands in about 10 minutes. The stands extend to about 6 feet, which covers most of my use cases (portraits, product shots on a table, and lighting me during video calls). They collapse down small, so storage is easy too. Now onto the performance: the 480 LED panels put out a lot of light for their size. They are bi-color, meaning you can dial the color temperature anywhere from a warm tungsten-ish 3200K to a cool daylight 5600K. I absolutely love this feature – it lets me match the room lighting or achieve a certain mood by just turning a knob. For example, I was shooting some photos in my living room in the evening; I set one light to a warm tone to mimic the lamplight and the other to white daylight to fill in shadows – the mix gave a beautiful natural look. The color rendering is excellent (CRI 96 is advertised, and from what I see, colors on camera look accurate and not washed out). Both brightness and color temp are adjustable via separate knobs on the back of each panel, so it’s infinitely adjustable to whatever scene you have. In use, the lights are steady and reliable. There’s no flicker on camera, and they stay relatively cool even after an hour of use (unlike old-school hot lights). Each panel is dimmable, and at full power, they’re very bright – more than enough for indoor shoots or lighting up a small studio space. I often only need to run them at 50% or less for fill light. The included white diffusers soften the light nicely for portraits (no harsh shadows on faces). If I need an even softer touch, I just drape a thin cloth or bounce the light off a wall. For portability, these can also run on NP-F batteries (not included) which I had from other gear, making them great for on-location shoots where plugging in isn’t convenient. The kit doesn’t come with a carry bag, but I repurposed an old tripod bag for the stands and a padded case for the lights. Overall, I’m thrilled with the value this Neewer kit provides. It has turned a corner of my basement into a mini photo studio and improved the quality of my videos dramatically (good lighting makes all the difference, who knew I could look this good on webcam? 😜). Whether you’re a budding content creator, a photographer building a home studio, or just want to look better on video conferences, this kit is an affordable way to get professional-looking lighting. It’s easy to use, versatile, and so far has been perfectly reliable. I feel like a kid with a new toy, and I keep finding excuses to use these lights – they’ve definitely leveled up my creative projects!

Good quality, easy to set/adjust and use, plenty bright. Color temp adjustment is easy, but would prefer the version that tells you the color temp. But this one cost a bit less. Overall very satisfied.

I teach cinematography and work in the industry for the past 35 years. I typically use the 'higher priced spread' when doing commercial work but wanted to see if some of the latest 'cheaper' LED video lights were what they say. Spoiler alert: yes and no. Here's what an $850 cinema color meter revealed about these lights. What I could not measure was the full spectrum of light. This is the area where LEDs have the biggest issues. The units that have both high CRI and even color spectrum get expensive fast. Color temps: (This is an average of three readings) - full warm=3220k +7 green - full white= 5220k +8 green So close but not to advertised spec. But close enough for 90* of the work you will do and very good for YouTube work. The '+green' is important. Most cheap-o led lights have lots of green. This is such a minor amount and there isn't a magenta filters that low in density to correct the + green. - Both at 100% = 4160k* Now for the light output. This is in Foot candles which is industry standard. I did 3 tests. One center of light beam at 3' and 6'. One off angle 45*. Center of beam- 3' - white = 320fc - warm= 300fc - both 100%= 480fc Center of beam - 6' - white= 75fc - warm= 80fc - Both 100% = 158fc Off axis at 3'- - warm = 40fc - white = 54fc - both = 83fc Add included diffusion filter: (Note: doing a A-B test with industry standard 216 diffusion proved that the included diffusor is identical, which is great) - both 3' @100% = 158fc - both 6' @100% = 80fc So what does all this mean? - The lights are 'beamy' without the diffusion. If you shine them on a wall across the room, you will notice that the center of the light beam will be brighter, and it is consistently bright across the beam, which is good. Then there is a fairly hard falloff as you measure further from the center of the beam. This is consistent with this type of 'multi-bulb' LED fixture when priced below $500 each. This 'beamy' light tells me that the LEDs are accurately placed on the circuit board, all aiming the same direction. - The provided sheet of diffusion does not color the light and softens the light considerably. It's nice and even light. - The fc falloff as you move away from the light is very typical for LED and florescent light fixtures. - The ability to hit the targeted/advertised 3400k (tungsten match) light color can only be done with by mixing the light colors. This of course, gives you a bit more light output than just the warm bulbs alone. I like the findings that the warm-only is slightly warmer than typical tungsten lights, which gives me the ability to go 'warmer' if the shot needs it. - The ability to hit the advertised 5600k is disappointing. The unit mustered 5220k which is a tolerable 200k lower/warmer than typical daylight fixtures and substantially lower/warmer than most cinema lights which produce 6500k. To match a better daylight light fixture you will need to add a 1/8th Color Temp Blue (CTB) filter to this light...and lose some output light power. Construction and features- These lights are well built. Solid. The filter slot is open on both ends so it makes it easy to put in the filter. That being said, it can slide out just as easy. Make sure you have one of the tilt knobs set to block the filter from coming out. The fixture itself has an extra set of threaded holes on the side so if one strips out (not likely unless you wrench-hand the tilt lock), you can move the the bracket to the second set. There's also 4 threaded holes on the face of the fixture which will be convenient for mounting some standoffs if you want to move the filter further from the fixture. This same fixture is offered by several manufacture names and one has the standoffs included. The knobs are metal as is the bracket and stand mount. The stand mount is industry standard 1/2" (baby pin) size. The unit will run on one battery. It does reduce the light output by a 'titch' so no real issue. With both battery slots filled with the larger 970 batteries I ran the unit at full power for 90 min. The smart charger indicated that they still had 50% left. This is really good battery life for one of these fixtures. The dimmer electronics was flicker free (from the camera perspective) throughout their entire range. The bags the lights came in are no great shakes but more than good enough to transport these lights safely. There's 4 wide, elastic straps inside which will hold the wall power unit and it's power cord, and 2 of the larger 970 batteries. The lights came with a white, dense foam protection for shipping, inside these bags. If you cut a bit off, radius'ing the corners, it will fit nicely back in the bag for daily transport protection. Like others have said, the design flaw in the power supply is the cord from the transformer to the lamp head. It's to short to allow for the weight of this to be supported on the floor. I purchased some hook-n-loop cable ties and affixed it to the power cord side of the power supply so it can be hung on the stand. The light stands- These are they typical Chinese folding stands. Not good enough for commercial work, but more than adequate for you home studio or limited field work. I will be purchasing a bag for these that will hold the two 15' extension cords I purchased. The stands do have a spring in the bottom of each of the extensions which will cushion the stand coming down if you have a heavier lamp on top. It won't just hit bottom which typically blows tungsten bulbs. Conclusion- Outstanding value for the price. If you want more light output, then buy a fixture that has all one color temp. bulbs, and use gells to correct to another color temp. Getting the all daylight units puts out the most fc by the way. These are great for lighting in limited spaces and two or more could be rigged side-by-side for a nice wall-of-light on your subject. It would be a no brainer to build a bracket holding 2 or 4 of these supported between the two light stands. The biggest down side is the daylight color temp not quite getting up to industry daylight readings. And some DIY barn-doors would help control the light spill. Barn-doors typically don't do much for these fixtures, but they do help if they are 6-8" long. You could make something like a monitor hood and velcro it to the light. On set, we call these 'snoots'. To get the best color rendition with your camera, make sure you do a white balance on a piece of white paper or gray card. Your camera will then reduce the very slight green these lights put out.

Versatile, light, effective for indoor or outdoor, great for photography OR Video 💪🏾📸📷

The product arrived quickly, was easy to assemble, and is surprisingly solid and high quality. Are there better lighting rigs for $1000? Absolutely. But for sub $200, I don't think this product can be beat. It produces warmer and colder lights and allows you to balance between the two to your liking. It works perfect for product photography for my eBay store, and I am sure it would work well in many other photography and lighting applications. My only complaint is that the wires on the power brick are a touch short. When the stands are extended high, the brick will be dangling. I will be using some zip ties to secure it to the stand to avoid creating any pressure points in the wires. But this is just a nitpick and does not detract from my five stars. Over all, it was exactly what I needed, and seems to be a solid unit at a very reasonable price.
