This little light is amazing. I used them for a still portrait set up in a living room (-4 from BDE) with a key, fill and back light set up and it rocked. Then I mounted it on my SmallRig set up with my Canon C70 and killed an editorial biopic. Next step is getting in a pool for a Speedo add to take advantage for water proof shoot.

This light is compact, rugged, well-built, has nice controls and puts out a lot of light for its size. It's a great tool and I hope to add a couple more to my lighting kit.

Very handy, well thought out, surprisingly bright little light! I love all of the little touches like the precut gels, silicone diffusion, etc.

Well built and promising features, but… The slick product advertising stated a battery life of 24hrs. On medium brightness we could only squeeze out 2 hours before recharging needed. Our VitoPal R2 lasts twice as long at full power. Could have been a faulty unit or simply shady advertisement. Returned.

Really surprised by the quantity of light that these provide. Hold a charge well. Just all around, I’m really pleased with this light.

Well constructed, easy to use. Light bar doubles as battery life and brightness indicator. Green is battery life (shown in pic), blue is brightness intensity. The 5 lighting effects are actually surprisingly decent for such a small light and I’m sure will find some great uses. The booster button is awesome! I could go on and on, but the most stunning aspect of the light is that such a small, compact, well built light is so bright and has such impressive color quality. I bring it everywhere with me. But it, you won’t regret it!

I was never into these smaller lights because I assumed they were just hype. During the Aputure watch party I realized their potential and decided to go for it. I have 2 and they are bright! They are dimmable and come with various diffuser attachments that work great. Very good for backlighting and can be used as key lights for creative looks.

Bought two of these to add to my growing kit. Gives small, flexible option in lighting. Built like a tank. Very bright. Waterproof. Includes nice diffuser and some color correction gels.

It is extremely well built and super easy to use. It is very bright for its size as well. I do wish I could change the color temperature on the device itself rather than using gels. Very compact though and now I use it more than my Neo.

I picked up my first Aputure light just four months ago and instantly became a huge fan. The quality of the light that their lights output is very nice and this small, portable, waterproof light is no exception. It comes with everything you need for daylight or tungsten lighting, as well as two different diffusers. It's crazy bright up close and has a decent throw for something so small. Highly recommended.

This compact, all-weather, well-constructed light is extremely potent, with the ability to dial down the intensity for different types of shooting scenarios. Features a built-in Lion battery that provides up to 8 hours of performance; changes using the included USB-C cable. Includes diffuser and five filters that snap easily onto the front of the light. Constructed of aluminum, which also serves as a heat-sink

Tiny and versatile light, I love that it’s waterproof and I don’t have to worry about it getting banged up here and there. I’m pretty happy that’s it’s also USB-C to charge and not micro-USB or some other older connector.

Small, indestructible, quality light
By CHRISTOPHER W.
Bought two of these to add to my growing kit. Gives small, flexible option in lighting. Built like a tank. Very bright. Waterproof. Includes nice diffuser and some color correction gels.
The AL-MW is the brightest, most rugged mini LED that Aputure has ever made. Featuring a massive 6000 lux output (2x brighter than the MX), 5 built-in light FX, a 24 hrs non-stop battery life and compact metal housing with the ability to go 10 meters underwater – the MW is the most powerful pocket-sized light for no matter where life takes you.
LED’s technological capabilities have never been so advanced. The AL-MW is Aputure first pocket-sized LED that uses the same COB technology which powers the Aputure 300d. This allows the MW to not only remain extremely compact, but pack twice the punch of the MX.
The AL-MW follows Aputure’s long tradition of creating lights with impeccable color renditioning, boasting an incredible CRI and TLCI rating of 95+.
The AL-MW is IP68 certified dust and waterproof for up to 10 meters. This means the MW can be not only a surf light, but a dive/scuba light as well.
With a built-in lithium-ion 3800mAh battery, the MW lasts for 80 minutes of continuous use at maximum power and 24 hours at minimum.
Pre-programmed, built-in Special Lighting Effects.
The MW comes with a gel holder and includes a range of CTO and CTB filters including full CTO, 1/2 CTO, 1/4 CTO, full CTB, 1/2 CTB, and 1/4 CTB. It also includes a 1.5 stop diffusing frost and a 2.5 stop silicone diffusion accessory.The AL-MW is truly the ultimate mini lighting kit that puts creativity back into the palm of your hands.
