Better than expected October 22, 2011

This is a very bright light. I wasn't expecting much out of it honestly. The adjustable brightness is fantastic to have on this device. The low levels are great for filler light in pictures or video. The light on full power is very bright. Enough to light up a small room pretty well. The only thing I don't like is that the base is a little flimsy. I may get around to making a better one since it has bolts that appear to come off. Overall a great investment for a camera.

UPDATE: About the flimsy base. I took one of the joints out and just screwed the base directly to the light unit (see the pic I added). This is much more sturdier when mounted now. Also, not a big fan of any of the colored filters. They are just too strong. The diffuser is all I use and it works fine. This has turned out to be a lot better than I was expecting. I want to order another one and use it for lighting a green screen behind someone because they are so small and bright.

Length: 3:42 Mins
Pros:
A lot of light for the size
Variety of battery options
Low Cost

Cons:
Fairly poor build quality
Articulating arm not very articulate or stout

Video is a light hungry beast and to really get the best out of your camera, you need to make sure you have enough illumination. The LED video light is a great little tool for just providing a little bit of light when you need it most. As a professional wedding videographer I'm always shooting in darkly lit halls and venues which are purposely dark to set a certain romantic or intimate mood for the evening. I was in need of a small light like this to just add a little light when needed without being too obtrusive to the venue, the couple or the photographer I may be working along side.

Along with the light itself, the package includes 3 different colored plastic translucent plates to slide over the lights to change the color (or temperature as it's referred to). I found these to be fairly useful depending on the circumstance but at the same time I was a bit concerned about changing the light too much that would make my video hard to color balance in post production. For the most part I just stuck with the white diffusion plate or none at all.

The light features a roll wheel on the side to power on and adjust brightness. At full power it definitely appears to be very bright. So bright that I would rarely use it at that power for fear of completely washing out my subject. I would recommend turning up the power gradually and gauging through your camera's light meter to find the sweet spot.

The unit comes with a few adapters to be able to take a variety of batteries. You have the option of running off standard 6 AA's (although some have reported shorter life with those) or using the included adapter to run off Panasonic or Sony video camera batteries. This is a great option if you already have a particular type of battery in your kit and don't want to have to buy new ones. Depending on which battery you are using you have to take off the rear battery door and then remove the adapter plate inside. Mount the battery to the adapter plate and then re-insert the adapter inside the light. From there you can close the battery door. I was using a Panasonic battery and while I would have liked it to have been a little faster to change out, it wasn't too bad. There is also a small battery indicator on the back with 4 LED's that light up to show remaining battery life. The battery I was using was a third party battery purchased from Amazon which appears to not be of the highest quality and therefore I can't really say what the battery life would be on a higher quality battery. The battery indicator did go down rather quickly for me (going down one quarter about every 15 minutes) but that could just be a result of a poorly made battery.

At the base of the light is an articulated arm with a cold shoe mount for mounting on a standard hot or cold shoe on your camera. The articulated arm is tightened by two thumb screws on the side but overall the arm is a bit hard to adjust. It also feels fairly flimsy so I would be concerned that over time the light would eventually not stay up in the position I set it to or just break off completely. Time will tell how that works.

During a recent wedding shoot I used this light mounted on a tripod at a 90 degree angle to the couple from where I was standing to provide a soft hair light as they were having their first dance. For that purpose it worked fine and provided a nice warm light that showed up well in the video.

Overall this light costs a fraction of more "professional" lights and definitely gets the job done. The overall build quality reflects the low price so I would anticipate using this until it broke and just replacing it or upgrading to a better light at that point.

The product description fails to list all of the attributes of this light. In particular, it fails to note that the unit has an intensity adjustment control knob and that the unit takes various kinds of batteries, including AA's. It is in fact (or appears to be) EXACTLY the same unit sold, at a substantially higher price ($20+), by several other vendors on amazon.
Note: the shoe-mount bracket is plastic and the top-heavy unit could thus break off a camera's hot shoe mount if you handle the camera roughly/ carelessly. But if you handle this with reasonable care, it is a good accessory at a good price.

Useful on my first pro film shoot. It works well, as long as the light is closer than 10ft of your subject.
