Questions & Answers

RONALD M : does it come with batteries and charger?JAMES H : noDANA R : NopeKALMAN Z : YesKatie K : It does not. And using AAs it dies quicklySTEVEN L : No. Uses AA size or there are holders to fit popular size camera rechargeable.BRIAN G : No. It uses AA batteries, no charger. I would suggest removing 1 battery when done using. If you leave all the batteries in, the next day it won't work. Dead batteries. This has happened with several units and also with other photographers I know. Love it though!
Jonathan S : Would this light work fine to light a white backdrop for photography?Brands@ A : Typically you need more than one light for white backdrop photography.... check out the Zack Arias white seamless guide (just google it)DANA R : Hey, never try, but I would say yes on some small close up portraits. Better studio light. I worked with really cheap ones and works excellent.KALMAN Z : Yes but u might nneed more than oneALEJANDRO D : It depends on the distance if you are doing a tabletop yes but bigger than that No
KALY Z : Is this compatible with a Nikon D800?DAVID E : Yes, it can be used with any camera with a hot shower.Brands@ A : YesSTUART H : I don't own a D899. I do have a D7000. This light is compatable with any hot or cold shoe camera. If you take video.you will need a continuous light such as this. It will work for stills to but for stills you should consider a Nikon comparable speed light flash unit. Also be sure you use or get a diffuser for both still and video

It’s a light

This is a basic light and it works well. I wish it had a cord and wasn’t strictly battery operated.

Absolutely amazing light for the size and price

I bought this thinking it would be useful for limited applications. But it has turned out to be one of the best investments. I find myself going to it any time I have need for indoor fill-in where a strobe would be too harsh. The battery life is excellent, and when needed it's easy to swap out the batteries. It even has variable intensity. Great for the price.

Add this to your bag of tricks!

It's rare but occasionally you find a gadget that can be worth its weight in gold. This led panel is perfect for on camera fill when shooting macro or in low light or shooting movies with your DSLR. The unit is lightweight but well designed, takes AA batts or Sony/Panasonic style lithium with supplied adaptor. Note! when using AA alkaline, remove the batts after use. I ruined my first unit by not regarding this instruction. Worth the price on sale! Even better, buy several for a small tabletop set up or at least a second for backlight or use as key light and fill.

Let There Be Light!

Flashpoint has done it again, this is a great must-have for anyone in video or photo work. It's powerful little LED light, not much to it, has a battery indicator on the rear side, a scroll wheel for power and intensity on one side, a pivot joint for angled placement (Tilting), and 160 LED bulb count. I already had a LED light just like this one from over 10 years ago that I ordered from china via Amazon, and upon receiving this one, I realized it's pretty much the exact same light just under the flashpoint brand. My previous light has held up well, and I still use it regularly. This light will help compliment my original as part of a portable two light interview kit. This item came free with my bundled purchase, and I have to say it was a great item to throw in. Thank you adorama!

I do lots of close-ups of pins, wings, badges and so on. This light works great for lighting without hot spots. I plan on adding a couple more to my light inventory.

Nice portable dimmable lighting.

Nice fill light. I like that it runs on batteries so I can put it anywhere I need to. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs portable Lighting that can be dimmed. I just wish it would dim down a little more.

Product seems fairly durable however there is no back cover for the batteries

Rheostat controlled light should supply sufficient light from most video applications on close-ups

Bright

Fantastic light output with different powering options. I luckily had some Sony batteries with chargers so I don't have to use AA batteries. I gave it 4 stars since the mount is not what I expect. When I mount it to the cold shoe, the light ends up moving from my desired location.

Got it in a kit and am impressed. Granted the light output is a bit limited but it is adjustable. Works great for a fill light.

Light enough to go anywhere.
Enough light to go everywhere!

Flashpoint's powerful and versatile 160 on-camera portable LED light provides action videographers and still photographers who use DSLR's and HD camcorders with a soft but brilliant beam throughout a 60ø spread. Our LED lights provide visually accurate color temperatures, flicker-free output, and no color shift when dimming. When used outdoors, the small, self-contained LED light produces copious fill light to alleviate deep shadows, while blending ambient available light to add modeling to subjects.

The cool burning power champ shines at distances beyond 16'. Super lightweight, this 'go anywhere' device fits comfortably atop the hot shoe of your camera or off-camera via the convenient stand thread. The power options uses almost any capacity industry standard Sony or Panasonic type lithium battery cells and can be run off universally available AA's as well. This 160 model offers a clear digital battery power level verification for the ever vigilant. Brightness levels are controlled by stepless control dials on the side, assure flicker free shooting.

Three interchangeable color panels give instantaneous control between 3200K-5600K to provide lightening fast solutions for the 'run and gun' shooters,moving from one lighting situation to the next environmental Kelvin challenge.

The latest LED technology.
Uncompromised light quality.
Unheard of value.

Qliq Qwip
One of the brightest advances in technology is the advent of the light-emitting diode (LED), a two-lead semiconductor light source. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron 'holes' within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light is determined by the specific energy band gap of the semiconductor.

Impressed yet? No?
LEDs are small, durable and need little power, so they are used in LED strobe lights or continuous camera lights without detrimental heat output, and operate at a safe, low voltage, instead of the 250+ volts commonly found in Xenon strobe tube-based lighting. This is especially useful in lighting for videographers, where space is at a premium and bulky voltage-raising circuitry is undesirable.

Each LED gem glows with exceptional brilliance of light and human genius that old Thomas Edison would have surely appreciated.
