This is exactly what I needed to get the job done. I bought several of them and I can arrange build them out to whatever size I want. Good stuff!

Exactly what I needed

Bought two of these to use as creative lighting for still photography.  These are really small and handy and you can throw them in your bag and just keep them there until you need to add a hairlight to someone or paint in a long exposure.  They are uber-bright for how small they are, and can be a little blinding.  They also don't have a dimmer switch, which brought my rating down a star.  It's nice that they are rechargeable and don't need separate batteries to carry around. I don't do video so I can't speak to their usefulness for that, but I love how you can attach them together to make them easy to handhold in lieu of off-camera flash.

Small and useful, though not dimmable

These are so small and easy to carry on location. I use them in still photography as fill light for detail shots, or backlight behind people in night shots.  They are super bright so they can be blinding on client/model eyes, use caution.

Super handy for photography detail shots

This is a great light for fast shooting in dark environment, and it packs a punch for how small it is. Was very satisfied with the price and how well it works. Great Buy!

Great Light

It's a great light.  The only reason I gave it four stars is that there is no  way you could use this and shoot directly at a person without a soft box or a filter of some sort.  It produces really nice (a bit cool, but nice) light and for the price and convenience, it's just unbeatable.  I ordered a mini softbox with it because of another reviewers comments and it works perfectly.  using this during a semi-dark evening event is going to be just the right amount of light with the soft box.  But please, don't point it at anyone directly. An added benefit is that it produces no heat. You can charge it and hold it in your hand.  An assistant could hold this over a subject as you're filming and it would be awesome and take up no space.
