This little photography light is great for adding some extra lighting to your subjects, especially when youre on the go. Its incredibly small and lightweight, easily fits in your pocket. Its so convenient, you can take it with you just about all the time. Its mountable on a standard tripod camera mount, but honestly you can also just prop it up on something, or, since its small and light, it will fit in stuff like those phone grippers. Its very useful to both be able to use it with a proper tripod or just stick it on the nearest flat surface.
It gives quite good light and has a variety of options for such a small device. Its easy to control, its got 2 knobs, 1 for choosing the setting and the other for manipulating that setting. Its also got a tiny but very helpful screen which gives you information about what youre changing, so youre not guessing at the brightness level or color temperature by eye, allowing you to set it consistently to the same settings with ease. It charges pretty quickly and works for quite a long time, but its also standard USB C so its fairly easy to top up even on the go.
Its an incredibly useful light, especially if youre just getting started with photography or if you have a less static work environment.

Here we have a USB rechargeable lighting effects box.
It comes in a wonderfully presented box.
The light itself has two knobs on the side to control the operation of it, and it can be mounted in several different ways, including using the included flash mount.
The most interesting effect for me was the TV one, which once you've seen it - seems obvious. To simulate the effect of a TV camera, it has a fluctuating light. Fabulous!
Anyway, I hope you have fun with this light effects box too.

With this light you get an instruction manual, lanyard, cold shoe and charging cable all packed together into a small and very solid cardboard box. I do think that the manufacturers have gone a bit over the top on presentation for a device that holds its own without that. The instruction manual is only a leaflet with instructions in English, German, and Chinese. It is very brief, but given how intuitive the light is, it is enough. The charging cable is USB-A to USB-C and short (about 16cm). The controls are quite straight forward. There is one knob to switch the light on and to select a mode, and another for varying brightnesstemperature etc where applicable. There is an orange button on the side that allows you to switch between effects in Effect (EFF) mode. CCT mode allows you to change the light colour temperature between 2500K and 9900k. EFF gives you a variety of different effect such as strobes, candlelight, fireworks etc. for videoing. 5600k mode (portrait mode) is a fixed colour temperature and brightness. There is a small LCD screen that gives you information about the mode you that you are in. The inclusion of the cold shoe means that you can attach the light to a tripod or similar mount. This is a solid, compact, and light device that gives you many creative options for videoing but can also be used for lighting for photography which I find particularly useful.

Love this K&F Concept Magnetic Light! It's super compact (think credit card size) and throws in a built-in magnet for easy use. Perfect for throwing in your bag for any adventure. Despite its size, it packs a punch with adjustable color temperature and 15 special effects! The controls are user-friendly, and the battery lasts a good while (2-8 hours) depending on the intensity. Great for vlogging, product shots, or creative effects. Highly recommend, especially for the price!

This is a very good quality light box. Though it is small, it is versatile to use. It can give out a range of cool to warm light to suit your needs. You can adjust the colour temperature and it even have a LED displaying the numbers so that you know what temperature you are using. Besides, you can adjust the intensity of the light so that it can be brighter or dimmer.
There is also some special effect you can choose such as candle light with flickling lights. However those are not too useful for me as I mostly use the light box for photos rather than videos. But if you are shooting video and wanted some effects, such a TV lights, fireworks etc, it will be very handy to use.
The light box is very small and light. It is very convinent to add some light when I shot some product shots or selfies. However to avoids shadows, it may be better if you use two light box at the same time to complement each other. Nevertheless, the light box has good quality and good design. I am very happy with it and will recommend it.

I am super happy with this light, honestly thought that wasn't to be good or strong and it amazed me so much. light is super good for close ups, effects are fantastic and it has either white or yellow light. remember that this is not to work as primary light as isn't as strong for that but it is an amazing help and extremely good as secondary and close up light. I use it for balloons pictures and this don't leave the flash and light effect reflection that normally can be seen with rings and it works perfectly fine for me.

This video light weighs just 123g and has a power cell, rechargeable via a USB-C socket. The light comes with a lead to recharge, a wrist strap and a mount converter allowing it to be clipped onto a cameras hot shoe. The light has a camera screw thread mounting point (for attaching to a tripod) on the top and bottom sides, a magnetic back, a small display and control button/knobs.
As well as providing light of various warmths/intensities the light also has a few special effect options such a flickering flame light. I choose to mount the light on my camera, it worked well and provided a surprisingly strong light. The unit does heat up in use, getting warm but not hot. The control knobs are quite large in comparison with the unit and make it easy to control the light source. The small display provides a reading of the selection made, brightness/type.
In tests I found the light illuminated a standard room size 12x12 foot quite nicely, but to minimise grainy images you will probably want to add additional lighting, as this is really a fill in light and for reasonably close work. The addition of the light effects could be very useful for home movies where you are after creating an atmosphere. light.
I liked the light, it was easy to use, but does not have the RGB range of colours that some similar lights have, for example red flashing light effect.

As soon as I opened the box I knew I was going to like the K&F light - it is great quality, using plastics which are robust and feel good, the button and switches all feel great and function perfectly. On the back are mounted two magnets which give plenty of adhesion for quickly slapping it on to a metal post, to save on a tripod etc. It is also supplied with a Hot shoe which can be attached to the top or bottom vie 1/4" mounting holes.
The light isn't the brightest, however, it isn't intended to be a primary light for a large space, it is perfectly bright enough for closer up, or used as a fill in or mood lighting in one of the 15 different modes you can quickly select (see uploaded image).
The unit can operate for around 2 hours constant use, obviously longer if brightness is reduced.
A great piece of kit for those looking to enhance their images/video's....

Wasn't sure what to expect with this light.
I wanted something that could be used as a fill light for video, generally it would be attached to the camera on the hot shoe to give some light on faces.
It could also be used as a small key light if doing closer shots, depending on the settings you use. I can see this being quite good for macro work to save lugging around larger lights.
The design is interesting, fairly lightweight and compact, similar in size (if a bit larger) than a GoPro.
It has two rotary dials on it that switch between modes and then the other is used for changing settings for that mode, eg changing the flicker type, power and colour temperature.
Output, for 6W, is quite good, it definitely won't be doing much outdoors on a sunny day, but for closer work or indoors it can be used as fill or accent lighting.
Having an internal battery means it can be turned on and placed out of sight, which could be useful.
It charges over USB-C which I am a fan of, so that is a plus in my view.
It has two 1/4 inch screw threads, one top and one bottom of the chassis.
Overall this is a nice small portable light, I guess you know if you would need this, but its also useful to have in the camera bag, and with its size it won't take up much space.

At only 124 grams this is a very light weight yet powerful bicolor light. It is as bright or brighter than comparable video lights. It offers very good value in an incredibly stylish design. It looks cool and it feels cool! - the knobs are super neat and make it fun to operate + it gives you quick access to useful pre-sets, like the 5600K at 80%. The only thing that makes it less functional is that it does not come with a clip that allows you to use it in your laptop or similar. That said, the cold shoe connection makes this bicolor light a great compliment to my Sony cameras. This is a crazy low price for a light that feels very professional and looks astonishing on my camera.
