This is a great mobile set up. I use it for food photography, mainly for a book im photographing in the studio, but purchased it and getting used to it, as my next book will be on the road. Easy to maintain wb, quick to set up, and sufficient light for my needs. Doesnt give off to much heat, so doesn’t effect the food

Strong light, but the color changes as the intensity is dimmed. Example: 56k will become 49k as you dim the intensity for daylight. Make sure to color balance the camera when using the light. Using the light for ENG live shots and quick interviews. Also purchased the soft box accessory. Powering the unit via an Anton Bauer adapter plate or d-tap from the camera.

I keep adding these 12 x 12 CL-1300B LED Panel Lights to my collection because I keep finding new ways to light the set with them. If Adorama is listening, would love a selection of brackets with variable angles that would allow me to use several together, yet keep them independent to face them in slightly different directions on ONE light stand. I use these for photography stills and have the versatility to do video sequences also. Color/Temp control is extremely valuable and we have started using these for actor head shots with great results. Becuase they have very low electricity demands, we use them on location with an inverter pack and get fantastic amounts of controlled light for the energy consumed. Creative lighting in a space without outlets is a huge advantage (inverter not included with these lights). As my review title says, I'm back for more and as a documentary videographer, I can never have too many lights. I often set them up in an array in order to produce a broad even light source that produces an extraordinary look that just can't be done with anything else. They are constructed well and we have had some bumps, drops and rough handling incidents with no loss in function or performance. I also strongly advise that you get the barn doors as it's better to have them and not need them and don't try to make up for it with gaffer tape... the more control you have, the better! Barn Doors are solid and stiff enough to hold their position at any point and in any direction. In the product photo, the unit is shown vertically mounted, that position causes the power cord to get in the way from time to time, I suggest forward mounting them which frees up the tilt movement much more without interacting with the power cord. Can't beat the price/quality combination with these units and I recommend them without hesitation to pros and hobby image makers.

I bought several of these, and they're noticeably cheaper than anything else out there but work just as well.

These lights are a good value, and put out plenty of light for video. The temperature control is easy to use, and they fit perfectly on standard stands.
