This review is so simple because it's a good quality light that's very easy to use.

The light is tough. It survived at least one serious impact during shipping. The inner box was damaged from the inside. The specially shaped Styrofoam was also broken. It appears that a violent impact, likely from a fall from a great height, caused the video light to break the Styrofoam and puncture a hole in the box from the inside. Since the metal lampshade encircled part of the light, it suffered a dent in addition to the damage to the Styrofoam and the box. But the dent in the shade is minor and purely cosmetic. Despite this, the light works perfectly, and other than the visible dent in the shade, you wouldn't notice it.

The remote is very easy to use. There are no apps to fiddle with or forget. Just be sure to label the remote, and you're good to go. These lights can belong to one of 16 groups, and within each group, they can receive on 16 different channels. This means you can control 256 different lights with one remote. I can't imagine who would do something like that, but it's nice to have options.

I like that there's no transformer block in the power chain. You just need the standard computer cable that comes with it. If you lose the cable, it's a standard part you can buy anywhere. Okay, not from a liquor store, but you get the idea.

There is a slight fan noise that can get louder over time (I haven't tested it). But for the kind of films I make,

I always read manuals/instructions and glanced at the short guide that came with this light. But the operation is so simple that you really don't need to read the manual.
