This small unit is quite bright, and works well for brightening up close video footage. I don't have a particular need for the color filters, but they are easy to use, and seem to work well if that's something you need for your photos/videos. The only thing I would improve on is the clamp length. While it will clamp onto a phone just fine, it's a pretty small clamp, and if you use a case on your phone, it sort of grabs onto the case AND phone screen simultaneously. I'd rather see it be elongated a little, so that the rubbery pads are fully on the screen and back of the case, and not hitting the lip for an angled grip on the phone. Other than that, seems like an excellent product.

The K&F Concept Rechargeable LED Video Light is compact, bright and versatile. It’s size makes it easy to carry with you. It comes with a cold shoe adapter, 1/4” screw adapter and an adjustable clamp. It also has 4 filters which I haven’t used yet. It is rechargeable via USB C.
I liked the versatility of the light. There are different ways to mount it and you can use it vertically or horizontally. It can be used for a variety of applications. Initially I got it to use it on my monitor for video calls. I have a window to one side of my desk so with the light shining in on half my face, I look like the “two faced” woman from Seinfeld. The clamp was too small for my old rather thick monitor but fortunately I was upgrading and it fit my new thinner monitor. I no longer look “two faced” and don’t have to put the overhead light on during the day in my home office. I have also used the cold shoe to mount it on my dSLR for shooting video and have also mounted it on a tripod. The light colour and the temperature are adjustable. I like that it shows you the amount of charge remaining via lights on the back. The battery life seems to be pretty good so far. The manual says 2 - 2.5 hrs at the brightest level but I haven’t timed it. It has lasted through the tasks that I have used it for.
Overall, it is a nice little light.

This has been a game changer for taking product photos for some of the pieces I have created out of macrame for a site
I was really struggling to highlight the pieces properly with a ring light as it was allowing for uneven lighting of the small and intricate knot systems
So this has been so helpfula nd the way I can attacth it to my phone or camera so I can have the most direct light is perfect! Even for filming my time lapses!

TL;DR - Light output could better, but the accessories make up for it.
I picked up this light to use for product photography out in the field. And for small items it's been quite handy. The included gels are surprisingly rigid and can be quickly swapped out for different lighting effects. I also appreciate that there is a physical sliding switch to turn the light on and off, whereas many similar lights utilize a long press.
Would I use this for people? It wouldn't be my first choice. Sure if you want to use it as a selfie light, it'll do in a pinch, but I was surprised to discover that the power output was a fair bit lower than some of my equivalent 3rd party lights. I personally would not use it as my key light, but as a fill or highlight it's fine.
I can't really speak to color accuracy, but the range of color temperatures was satisfactory. I personally would have preferred being able to go warmer as odds are you'd likely use this indoors more than outdoors, but that's just me.
I've been a big fan of K&F products for a while as they strike a great balance between cost and performance, and this light is good, I just expected more.
That said, I'd still recommend this light as build quality is solid, the accessories are better than most, and as long as you understand the limitations of the light you would have no issues with it.

Super easy to use right out of the box. Full control over brightness and color temperature along with flexibility on mounting the light makes this a very useful tool. Added benefits of long battery life at full power and the ability of adding durable color inserts for added creativity. This is not powerful enough to be the only light source in a dark room but is great for a fill light to even out color. Also small and light enough to throw in your pack...I use in the field to help enhance my macro shots. Note the 84 LEDs that are mentioned only come into use in the natural light setting...42 cool, 42 warm, other than that you are only running 42 LEDs at a time.

This light has 84 LEDs and 3 light modes, each of which have 5 brightness levels. It comes with coloured filters which slide into the light frame so you can change the colour of the light. It also includes a clip to use the light on your phone or laptop and a mounting screw which allows you to insert it in the hot shoe slot of your camera (which is how I use it).
The light has 4 tiny LEDs which indicate the battery state. I really like the memory function on this device - whatever light setting and brightness you last used will be retained when it t is turned back on. It is bright, lightweight and portable, so it's great to put in your camera bag or purse. I have not played much with the slide-in colours, although those might provide some cool lighting effects. I mainly use it on my camera(s) as an additional light source for macro photography. It works well, and the buttons are clearly marked and easy to use. I especially like that there is a sliding on/off switch rather than a button that has to be held down. It is a well made unit and is highly recommended.

This light is one of the best ones I have ever used.
The package included light, USB-C cable, color filters, cold shoe mount adapter and a rotating clip. The light was already charged so I was able to turn in on right out of the box.
It is a very nice and lightweight light. Light intensity/brightness has 5 levels. Also the color temperature is adjustable.
There is a nice battery indicator at the back of the light. Makes it easy to know how much of life is left in the battery. Talking about battery, I have charged it fully only once. Since then I have been using it every now and then but still I see the battery indicator is showing that it's full. That for sure means, it has very good battery standby.
I have taken a lot of selfies with this light and also used it with back camera to take photos of family and friends. The light does the job as expected from it. There is a huge difference between photos taken without this light and with this light. Photos taken with this light have much more details and have filled the shadows very nicely.
I also use it for online meetings with my laptop. The rotating clip makes it so easy to adjust as needed so that the light falls where it should.
It has a nice slot in the front to use the filters. I have not used them so cannot say much about them. The built-in light temperature control is enough for my needs.
Overall, this is a great product and I have no complaints from it at all.
