Rated 3 out of 5

Versatile power options make this a useful light.

It's always nice to have versatility in gear. Here's one that runs on battery and AC, or even a USB source. I use this with the projection attachment and lens/gobo/color to generate a nice background for interviews. Once you add those things, this contraption becomes fairly long, and it's all held onto a light stand via the little half yolk, which also serves to secure the Sony L-type battery adapter. Not a super secure setup; probably better if the light is hanging vs on a floor stand. And I'm always a little bummed out when gear ships with a wrench. It means they know the wrench is needed. I have many lights that sit on a stand quite securely without needing a wrench. Why'd they do it like this? The light is dimmable and stepless, though I find it to be less bright than I'd hoped for. All in all it has its place in life. There is a brighter model available but a lot more expensive.

Excellent light for your lighting system

I purchase this product for both portrait photography and videography. The included barn doors are excellent and allow fairly precise control over the shape and spread of the LED light. The adjustable light level is great for the photography where I am using it as a support to my speed lights as opposed to lighting the entire scene. The fans kick on only when necessary and are not overly loud. This is an overall excellent focusing light for the price.

Awesome light

Its a very useful for precise control of light, that's what I bought it for. Very easy to work with when used with other continuous light. With strobes one ca use it provided high ISO/low shutter speeds are used... think about using patterns for the background. I wish they had more room in the focusing lens holder to stack gobos with other control. I would love to see godox/clar adding more crystal glass type of gobos to make it more appealing as a creative tool.

The CLAR S30 Focusing LED Light is the remarkable solution for precision spot to flood LED lighting for all videography where excellence is the priority. The lightweight system utilizes an integrated optical system that projects a superbly graduated soft 6 to 55-degree throw, 12,000 to 2,600 lux at 3.3 feet, with a covetous TCLI beyond 96Qa and substantial CRI over 96Ra. But, let's not stop here. The S30 can perform almost anywhere with three varieties of power options: through the included AC to DC adapter, an ingenious compact industry standard lithium-ion Sony NP 7.4V battery port, or a power bank with a USB 5V/2A cable attached. Small, yet powerful and adept, primed for professional delivery of creative and essential lighting without the mass and size usually associated with such a formidable feature-laden productive unit. Of course, you can electronically control brightness levels steplessly, with values displayed clearly on the LCD information panel, while enjoying the gentle precise tight to wide beam illumination. Nary is a sound heard from the light to disturb a sound recording session, or create a low audible rumble, even thoughan aggressive fan cooled ventilation assures stability. There isn't a flavor of photography or videographer that cannot benefit from this LED light, whether for video interviews, portrait enhancement, still-life sets or for the spectrum of creative blends of imaging.

The CLAR S30 system accepts a superb variety of accessories for the no-compromise lighting achiever. These units are reminiscent of the tiny hot quartz heads that once were the desired objects for absolute precision in exacting light performance, without any of their drawbacks. Consider the SA-P Projection Attachment with an 85mm lens, which sits on the front of the S30, to master the raw beam and define the throw sharply. The focusing assembly alters the size and edge of the lighting effect to custom parameters. Within the body of the Projection Attachment are slots that accept all types of modifiers. The SA-09 Gobo set combines the ability to play light and shadow games or introduce designs and pre-cut intricate patterns in the projection attachment slot as a background or overall effect. Scrim Set SA-05 paints a wash of dark to light gradations across the beam projection. The SA-08 Barndoor Set shapes the light beam to feather spill or frame the subject to the exact enhancement, while the Iris Diaphragm cruises beyond barndoor restriction to the tightest, constricted pinpoint, spark of light. Framing shutters are placed to encroach on the beam and form geometric, trapezoidal shapes.
