RALENO 19.5W LED Video Soft Light Panel, 650Lux/m 13" Camera Panel Light Built-in 8000mAh Battery, CRI>95 2500-6500K Photography Studio Lights for TikTok YouTube Video Recording Photography Streaming

I grabbed this light because I had a last-minute shoot on the weekend, and Amazon got it to me next day. And I'm in love. This thing is tremendous. I occasionally do video, and got called in to do an interview at a busy convention. I can't begin to describe how this little/big LED light made that job (and hauling gear) so much better. Frankly, I think this light is fantastic for the price. It's a good size, about the size of a sheet of paper, it's very light, it has a built-in battery that runs it for a couple of hours, and the color rendering is great. They claim 95 or 97 CRI; in my video work I usually aim for at least 95. I gotta say that this light had me grinning ear to ear. I'm old school, in my days tungsten fresnels were what we used, and an HMI if you had a budget. By the time I left video, fluorescents were just catching on, and I had some Lowel CaseLites with Kino Flo tubes in them for daylight. Those **** things weigh about 40 pounds or so, and they're huge and they need heavy duty stands and sandbags and power cords and the last time I used them on a fully extended stand, I had to rig them to the ceiling with ratchet straps to ensure that they couldn't fall and seriously injure someone. So much time spent rigging, so much weight to carry, so much hassle finding available outlets and running cords and worrying about people tripping over them... Fast forward to today. I had to do an interview at a crowded convention, and I wanted a three-light setup without any of the horsecrap that all my lighting kit would cause. So I grabbed one of these and a smaller one from another brand and I cannot begin to express my joy with these. 1. This thing is big, but also feather light. I put this on the camera(!) I mounted it on the camera's handle with a Noga arm, and extended it all the way out to the right, so it would serve as an off-axis key light, and it was effortless. No light stand. No sandbags. No power cords. No tripping risk. Absolutely 10,000 times better than any other light technology. 2. The light is good. It's a glowing panel. No hotspots, no reflections, no nothing, just a nice flat evenly glowing panel. Great for a softlight key if you're close to the subject; for a shoulders-up interview with the camera about 2 feet away, it was perfect. This light is about the size of a sheet of paper. 3. They're dimmable. No color shift that I could tell, just a throttle control that lets you pick the exact light output you want. What more could you want? Dimming an old tungsten would require having to actually bring a separate dimmer and plug it in; with these there's a dial on the back and it's easy as pie. 4. They are variable color. Made of 3200 and 5600 LEDs, you can dial between the two and stop anywhere you want. Use it as a 5600 but dim it down a little and it'll warm up the light and make for warmer/glowing skin tones. Use it under tungsten lighting, or in daylight, or mixed, whatever, it's just a twist of the dial away. 5. It's got a battery! That is so obscenely convenient I can't even. I can't even. No power supply, no power cords, no tripping circuit breakers, no cords on the floor for people to trip on, nothing. Just stick it on the camera or on a small stand and turn it on, and it'll run for a couple of hours. If you need it to stay on longer, or need to recharge the battery, it has a DC power supply for that so you don't have to rely on the battery. 6. The light is good. I white balanced off it and my professional video camera said it was about 5680K and the white card I was using was perfectly white, no green or purple tint like you'll find on lousy lights. I used this bigger light on-camera on a Noga arm, holding it out to the side so it served as a nicely angled key light, and the overhead lights served as fill, and I used a similar but littler light for a hairlight/backlight. Three point lighting with no power cords, no power supplies, no gaffer, no rigging, just an on-camera LED panel, ambient fill, and one little hairlight on a featherweight stand. It was heaven for a shooter, and frankly the footage I got is really very, very good. Best looking footage I've gotten at a convention, and I was doing it all as a one-man-band. Will it break? Probably. It cost me $47. 5 years ago I'd probably have paid $500 for this thing, if anything like it even existed. Don't drop it. Don't mistreat it, treat it like it's fragile (because hey, tungsten bulbs and fluorescent tubes are really fragile too, so get used to being gentle with your lighting equipment) and maybe it'll last. Maybe it won't. But if it does die on me, I'll absolutely get another. Might stock up on them during Prime Days if they go on sale.

Great light, both models are very bright, good controls and fair price, soft light with reduced shadows when close, I am sure this are so much better then others like el gato for example for a better price, color temperature controls make easy to adjust the scene I really recommend you one or more of this lights Notice they offer two models, Small/Medium Model: This one is Very light and portable with included 8000 mha internal battery which make very good for transport, Large Model: It is a large 18 inch panel with a lot of light, it need two new batteries, or it can work with AC power adapter, the large version in my experience bring so much more light and more diffused shadows, also include a removable magnetic remote control which make it better for indoors use Company is very reliable, they care about customers experience, had a little issue and it was resolved super fast, customer service contacted me to resolve it in no time and in a better than expected way. very happy with customer service, this company must be one of the best. Do not think too much about it and get this instead of others,

I purchased this as a fill light for an art stream project. I mounted it to a desk-top clamping spring arm with a 1/4" mounting bolt that allows me to put this small (but powerful), light-weight light where I need it and with it's color temperature and brightness controls, it fills this role perfectly. It's certainly bright enough to be used as a key light too! The light has no visible hot spots, providing a well diffused light. I noticed very few hot spots in my preview picture unlike the lights I'm currently using as my key lights. This was a pleasant surprise. Also surprising was how much better my video looked just with this light's addition to my scene. The camera I'm currently using is a good quality web cam, but still a web cam (having its own issues just by its nature) but the video looked really crisp and clear, which was a huge difference when I was only using my key lights. This light comes in an an incredible price point with performance and output that is undeniably good. I haven't had the time with this light to really put it through it's paces, but already I really like it and have plans to purchase more or these lights, and more from Raleno!

Disclaimer: A complimentary product was provided to me to review. Since quarantine, I have been doing a lot more video production work from home. It's hard to find a light that is the right brightness and right white balance color for indoor applications. Either the light is way too bright, or not bright enough, too blue, etc. This light is almost PERFECT. The different brightness options work well. The battery is extremely long--I've been using it for about a week, 1-2 hours per day, on 30% brightness and the battery IS STILL AT 100%!! The white color options are very precise and the LCD display on the back lets me know EXACTLY what the light is doing. The light quality is lovely, diffuse enough that it doesn't blind me and bright enough that I can work in almost any environment with super high quality results. What could be better? 1) Unique power adapter -- why not use USB-C? It's annoying needing another wall wart laying around. 2) Brightness options are "clickable," not smooth like some of Raleno's other options. Would I buy this light again? ABSOLUTELY!

Great size! Perfect for needing extra light for content or for styling in the morning. I only use one light and the brightness speaks for itself! My videos are crisp and very clear! It’s lightweight so it works great if you will be using it for a mirror set up. Very sturdy as well!

Actually really impressed! I was prepared to send back if I didn't like it after one use. But it is an all around great light for the price. I only needed it plugged in... so at first I was worried it would only work on a charge and not with AC power, but I had it running all day for an 8 hour shoot on full brightness. I tested it's life on just battery alone and it lasted 2.5 hours on 100%. I have 4 Lume Cube panels ($99-$150) and they don't even last that long, this is at least 3-4 times larger than those panels no lie. I used it as a hair light, I had two Aputure lights with domes as a key and a fill. In my opinion, this is no Key light but it does pack a punch for backlighting/fill. Though if someone was on a really tight budget or just starting out in the industry I would highly recommend getting 3 of these lights and some compact/affordable light stands here on amazon. (I've found the MFW selfie stick for $25 is great, it is essentially a mini yet tall tripod that can act like a selfie stick, Ringlight stands work great too) You will need some extension cords! Because the cable provided it pretty short.

I like the brightness of the Light. I am still evaluating it for my needs as I am using to video record my projects for YouTube that I make on my workbench, I needed a diffused light source with a range of color temperatures, but I realized that when it also severs as a great task light when not recording. The fact that it has a battery built in makes it flexible should I need to take it elsewhere, and I have ran it for what I consider a long time and it seemed to hold it brightness level without any trouble, however I mostly keep it on the charger.

I really like this light. The combination of the built-in battery, integrated diffuser and reasonable price make it a great value. You won't have to buy a separate battery for this, and you can use it while the battery charges. And you won't lose the diffuser, because it's built in. Since most of us don't know what a certain LUX value or wattage actually means in terms of brightness, I wanted to do a controlled, real-world test. I set my DSLR to 1/60s, ISO 400 and f/3.5, then put this light 1 foot away from a subject (see pic) and adjusted the brightness until the camera said it was properly exposed. (The pic itself is just so you can see the subject. I don't remember what the actual exposure value was for this, because I stopped taking photos and just half-pressed the shutter to get an exposure reading.) At 1 foot away, the subject was properly exposed when the light was at 50% brightness. At 2 feet away, the subject was 3/4 of a stop underexposed when the light was at 100% brightness. That would still yield very usable video, and you could easily make up the 3/4 of a stop by using a prime lens, slowing the shutter to 1/30s or bumping up the ISO. And that's assuming you're only using one of these lights. I have not run down the battery yet, but it seems to hold up well from my testing. All told, I'm pleased with this light and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cost-effective constant lighting solution to shoot video. Two or three of these in your kit would make a great three-point lighting setup for ridiculously cheap.

It performs exactly as advertised. Great product.

this light is amazing! Specially for Th price I would recommend this product

I use this as a light source for film negative copying with a DSLR. More than bright enough for 200 ISO F11 @ 1/200th. I like that it has light temp controls. Feels like nice quality.

Very light, very bright. No complaints, battery life is also very good

This is perfect for video Good colour range, and bright enough for lighting outdoors. Battery life is good too. Charge lasted for hours plus on a shoot. Well made, plastic of course, light and can be used with clamps
