Small, robust, and versatile.
This K&F Concept RGB Video Light is small, lightweight and bright - at 5,600K it measures 60 Lux at one metre. It has the industry standard quarter inch BSW tapped holes on the top and bottom of the unit so that you can mount it on a camera cage or tripod and, it comes with a cold shoe adaptor so that you can mount it directly onto the top of your camera if you wish - it only weighs 127g so it is a lot lighter than most flash units - but it is large enough to create light that is not too hard.
Additionally, it has a pair of strong magnets in the back so if you want, you can stick it to anything that is ferromagnetic such as an iron post or the filing cabinet. There are two knobs on the side as well as a button on the back - the orange one. The buttons on the side are for: selecting a mode; and, changing the value of a parameter that you select using the orange buttons. On the back is also a small readout so that you can tell the value of what you are changing - knowing the colour temperature is particularly useful; and, a USB C socket for recharging the battery which you can do whilst you are using it so if you want to increase its life for a longer session, you can run it off a mains charger or a D-Tap block.
The modes are: continuous-spectrum light - the orange button selects between colour temperature and brightness; RGB colours - the orange button selects between hue, saturation and brightness; and, special effects - the orange button selecting which one and brightness again.
The continuous spectrum runs from a colour temperature of 2,500K to 9,900K. The hue goes from 0 degrees to 360 degrees (the same colour) and it lets you carry on around so if you are at an orange - say 15 degrees - and you quickly want to get to a purple - say 345 degrees - you don't have to go all of the way through the rest of the spectrum in order to get there.
The special effects are Flash, TV screen, candle, flame, police (red and blue), ambulance (just blue), fire engine (just red), various strobes, chase - cycling through the RGB spectrum smoothly at different speeds, a number of fireworks, club lights and finally, a romantic purple.
This lighting unit is particularly useful for because of its RGB, its compactness and robustness. Additionally, it is small enough to slip into your pocket and it even comes with a small lanyard.
