Feels lightweight but seems to work very well
This is a nice little compact fill in light. Clearly from the threaded socket it is trying to be photographic equipment and I probably wouldn't use it in a general photographic setup. It is not that high a quality.
What I do use it for and it works very well is as a fill in light for when I am on zoom calls or want to illuminate something that I am photographing on the desktop. For that it is brilliant (no pun intended). The light essentially has two modes that are really useful for photography, a RGB mode and colour temperature option. For most purposes I use the temperature option and set it to 5800 K for a daytime light balance and that works well. There is a third set of options which runs through a large list of strange animated options none of which I can think of a use for but they are there if you want them.
Extra things that are in the could be useful category are inbuilt magnets so if you have a metal surface you can mount it just by sticking it to it. Probably not that useful because the chance that a random metal surface faces the way you want is low. Less useful are the cold shoe attachment because mounted right next to a camera is often the worst place for a light, and the lanyard because to be honest there is zero chance that a light on a lanyard will point the right way.
Recommended but ignore the effects settings.
