This is a great light. But everytime I buy one...when i get home and open the boxed, I find that I am getting a light that has been returned. Tale tale signs are...the unit is not wrapped in bubble wrap..the filters have scratches on them..AND the powerbricks are not factory wrapped.

It's slightly off color as others have mentioed and the slider for brightness is not great, but it's bright, inexpensive and flexible.

Lights represent an amazing value. Much brighter then other panel lights and significantly cheaper. Updated versions have DMX, but now lack the ability to dim in unison with a simple RJ-45 cable. (Have used several of the previous versions).

Simple, light weight and portable. Barn doors are nice to have.

unpacked the light 30 min ago- this is just a first impression of the daylight only unit. significant output. have not measured F-stops yet but output is impressive. instructions not so much as they apply to another very different version. have heard that the current version (JAN2016) is more reliable than previous versions. power slider not impressive with limited slide distance and large power jumps from small movements. slides for filters are nice, and included amber filter is useful. power adapter and plugs are all adequate. unit we saw at a trade show this week had a sony NP battery adapter, which we thought was standard. V-mount is standard so am looking into 3rd party adapters. will update review as we have time to test.

I have used three of these lights in a studio setting. They were used in five different setups in two- and three-light combinations. They are not too heavy to move around so I was inclined to move them frequently to get the look I wanted as opposed to heavier and more bulky light sources that are less portable. The sliders for power output are excellent and easy to use. The power adapter cord length is long and I did not need to use an extension cord at all. I found nothing lacking in the quality of the construction, the functionality, nor the quality of light. Excellent all around.

The only drawback is that it requires a 1/4 Plus Green gel to color correct it. I cut a sheet and with a little hot glue, attached it in front of the LEDs. The color temperature is then 5600K (was 6300 before). Then, the Amber filter included with it brings it down to 4200K. Brightness was measured (with 1/4 plus green) at 5060 lux @ 1M and 970 lux at 8 feet. The diffuser brought it down to 667 lux. This is around a full stop brighter than other LED lights I examined but costs a lot less! Measurements were made with a Sekonic C-500 color meter. And don't forget to order 1/4 plus green gel.
