K&F strikes again with another awesome product. So far I haven't gotten one thing from this brand thay I don't like. For one I appreciate that their designs are unique and not just clones of more popular brand's products. Those clones never really are as good as the original anyway. But K&F made very cool light light here.
Now it's not the brightest or longest lasting but I think for its size and intended purpose it's great. 2 hours of full brightness output is pretty good. The cheapest time being nearly 2 hours could be better. But that's not a big deal. This isn't a primary light. It's an accent light, a practical background light, a controllable replacement for a light fixture in a scene or a fill light when you want to adjust your exposure ratios.
The controls are simple and intuitive. And there's a quick setting for full brightness daylight color. Rather than dialing in your color temp, and brightness, this selection has its own spot on the knob and you can jump straight to 5600k... the most commonly used setting on bi-color lights.
The modes to remember what you last selected. So if you scroll back down to CCT or the FX options they will be the way you left them.
I should also mention this thing is obviously compact. It's small and doesn't weigh much at all. It is plastic and feels a bit like a toy, but it has a cool look to it since the plastic is transparent. Speaking of transparent, the actual LED bulbs shine through a frosted plastic diffusion. It isn't removable so you can't get bare Bulbs. But it does diffuse the light nicely, giving you a very soft roll off. With a light this small, you can t expect too much of a soft quality but it's softer than many of its competitors.
There are also 2 small magnets on the back. They aren't SUPER strong. But since the unit is so light, the magnets have no trouble holding it. It didn't slip at all for me when I mounted it.
It comes with the lanyard, it's nice if you need that sort of thing. And the packaging is also very nice. Overall I love this little light and I imagine I'm going to get a lot of use out of it.

I have got several of these and this one is my favorite due to the ease of turning on/off and adjusting the light output. the knobs on the side are very easy to turn and there is zero complication. No need to read the instructions, everything is right there with simple access - just turn the knob to turn on or off, switch modes, and adjust color temp/brightness. Very smooth product.

As a photo-video person, I love accessory lighting. This is a funky looking light that works great as a spot or hairlight. It offers two color-shift, so it is adjustable from cool through warm, not just a bunch of stops. Brightness is very good and controllable. In addition to the usual 1/4" screws (2), it has lanyard hooks and strong magnets so it can be mounted nearly anywhere.
A small profile means it's easy to pack.
It does other things that I'll never use (sfx like candle flicker, fireworks, etc).

Love this light, loafs of adjustability i especially like running it at 75% white 25% sepia, great for nightime filming and vlogging and really helps me making videos whilst camping

Seems to be good quality. Doesn't provide a huge amount of light like a real flash, but works well. I use it for photography, so I can modulate the temperature of the light and use more usual settings than with a real remote flash which is much more complicated to use.

For video it is excellent, I wanted to use it for photography, but at minimum brightness it overexposed the photos, I had to fix them in editing, in the same way I recommend it, as a back light or fill light it should be very good.

A good light both white light and warm white. Plenty of power and good value

Perfect for food and product photos, you will most likely need a reflector and a second light to set up your mini photo studio, recommended.
