Product Description

Griffin Technology SightLight - Apple's iSight FireWire camera is great, but it can only make you look so good. Ambient lighting can be a problem during video conferences, which is why Griffin has come out with the SightLight. The SightLight slips easily over the iSight camera and focuses a warm glow of light directly on you, improving your onscreen appearance. It even has an Auto Mode that automatically adjusts the light output based on the room's ambient lighting!

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks cool w/ iSight but is a huge disappointment, August 12, 2004

Alexander Gerson (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Griffin SightLight - Firewire Light for iSight (Personal Computers)

What you're paying for is the same thing as a cheap 40-watt desk lamp that can hardly light up a face in a dark room! Not only does the light hardly work, but the light casts you in a weird blue complexion, even in a well lit room. The ambient light sensor sounds like a good idea but doesn't really work that well (the light comes on even while in relatively well-lit rooms). Despite all of these shortcomings, the SightLight is very easy to install. Bottom line....Use an exsiting lamp or buy a cheap one on ebay.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very little light, August 20, 2004

J. Carson (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Griffin SightLight - Firewire Light for iSight (Personal Computers)

I pre-ordered directly from Griffin. When it shipped, I thought it would be cool to use. It barely lights up my face at all, and when it does, like other reviews have said, its an ugly blue.

Save your $$, and buy a $5 desk lamp. Far better illumination, and multipurpose!

This review is from: Griffin SightLight - Firewire Light for iSight (Personal Computers)

The lights are weak LEDs and don't do much at all. Don't waste your money on this one.

Too much light for camera mounted on laptop & personal 'web cam'ing, auto setting is fooled by dark backround. In genral low light from my desktop, it works fine

I had high hopes for this product. After all, every video chat benefits from extra light, right? Unfortunately, this product is only beneficial in absolutely darkness. Read more
