I've never used a video light this strong before, but recently I was filming a musician in a poorly lit room and I just couldn't get enough light with the smaller lights I had. I tried this setup in the same room, and it was more than enough.
These are a big improvement on the lights from a decade ago because with LEDs you can get a range of temperature settings all in one light, and it's battery powered.
The light was very intuitive to use, I was able to figure out how to change the temperature and brightness without consulting the manual, and the knobs make it easy to quickly adjust. The knobs are so much nicer than pressing and holding a button.
I like the retro aesthetic that the light has, but I wonder why they didn't extend it to the grip. The grip is just a modern plastic grip and clashes with the more classic black and silver look of the light itself.
The reflector and diffusor that it comes with are easy to install and work well.
I tried the modes and they're neat, but I don't think I'll have much use for them, except maybe the fades.
I really liked that the whole thing came in a nice case that's pretty sturdy. The case is a bit oversized, and could have been more efficiently laid out, but I don't think I'll have a problem finding a few other things I can carry in it. I do wish it had a little mesh pocket or zippered area in the lid.
