EMARTLed Photography Lighting Kit, 2 Pcs Dimmable Continuous Portable Studio Light with 54 inch Adjustable Tripod Stand for Video Recording, Photoshoot, YouTube, Game Streaming

I use these lights to make videos at my desk and to take product photos, where the room lighting is not balanced. They are good fill lights to remove shadows and balance lighting for this type of close-up use. I wouldn't count on one or two of them to light up a stage or room. I generally have them set within 3 feet of the subject, as long as I can keep them out of the shot and avoid glare spots. If I'm recording myself, I have to arrange them off to the side because they are too bright to be in front of me. I couldn't look at the camera if they were positioned directly in front as you would a ring light.I liked the quality, versatility, & price compared with other options.By quality, I mean the tripods, connections, and lights all feel solid to me like they will hold up through lots of repositioning. The brightness is adjustable but I've only used the highest setting. The diffusion lenses slide into tabs that hold them tightly against the front of the light. The lenses are thick and produce a definite color change (white, red, blue, orange are included for each light). I haven't had them long enough to know how well the LEDs will perform over time, but I've used them for a few hours and the initial quality it good.By versatility, I mean that they are very easy to use and position as fill lights. The brightness settings make a meaningful difference (though I wish they published a measurement like lumens so this statement was more data-driven). The tripods have 3 telescoping sections which can be set to any height from 19-48". There's an adaptor that attaches to the top of the tripod which allows you to swivel/tilt & secure the light at any angle. The tripod (and adaptor) use a standard screw connection so they work with any camera gear you might have.The kit also includes a mini tripod that's 1.5" tall so you can set it right on the desktop if you want. Each leg is about 3" long, so it's very stable on a flat surface.The only negative so far is with the power supply. These are USB-powered, and it has to be a USB port with at least 2.4 amps, not just a data port. Depending on your computer and where you want to use these lights, having enough open USB ports is something you should consider before buying. Also, the cord is 6.5 feet long but when the light is atop a 4' tripod it does put a bit of a limit on the setup radius from the computer.Once I got these set up, I found that there were still some shadows that I wanted to fill-in from other angles. I liked these lights so well that I purchased a second set without hesitation.Attached Photos:1. Light with white diffuser lens partially removed.2. Top of tripod allows 180 degrees of tilt.3. Adaptor, goes between tripod and light, and allows swivel & tilt in any direction.4. Comparison photo. The top view shows natural lighting from a window on the left side; note the shadows on the right. For the bottom photo, I added only ONE of the two lights that came in this set.

The shipping is very fast thank you so much

Ok for lighting faces and small areas.

Excellent lighting equipment. Easy to use, great for green screen. Multiple color settings, easy to set up. USB plug.

This is a light duty system, but perfect for what I need. I have even been able to power with a power pack battery for charging phones. It needs to be high capacity, but it works great in a field setting. I recently used it overseas on a production project and it was great in terms of size and output for shooting interviews.

Update 11.18.22: I am taking a couple stars from my review for these lights. I bought 2 sets one month apart, and the manufacturer replaced a set for 1 failed light noted below. Today, I threw away the 3rd light of 6 total I've had. I use them less than 12 hours a week on average, so a little disappointed on the lifespan of these units, and the way they fail. (NOT ok to waking up in the middle of the night with one of these locked on full brightness...) Bottom line: They are good for what you pay, but if you have to buy some every 6 months-1 year, then the costs start adding up to a nicer set. They got me through though, so I am thankful.Update 1.16.22: So, I decided to reach out to the seller about my intermittently failing light and I learned a LOT! Do NOT use the "Get Support" button that Amazon provides; it is NOT THIS company, rather use the "Get help" option to be connected to EMART US. I sent a messages and I kid you not, within 2 hours, they had already arranged a replacement light and provided an arrival date. BY FAR the fastest customer service I have experienced outside of Amazon themselves. My original review was 4 stars. I took 1 for the failed light. The restored the light, so I will restore that star and add 1 for EXCELLENT customer service! Thank you EMART! I'll sell more of these, I promise.1 star removed Update 10.27.21: So about 3 months in and 1 of my 4 units started randomly flickering. I attempted different power sources and it still just happens randomly which makes the light hard to use. I have removed one star for this. Of course, always outside of return window....Got these today and had them set up in no time flat. I will update as my experience unfolds, but here are my initial impressions and photos:UPDATE 7.22.21: I liked these so much that when I saw them on sale, I bought another set. I use 2 to light the green screen, then use 2 to light myself. After I added the second light sweet and adjusted the brightness, etc, I was able to remove ALL fuzzy edges around me while streaming! Great price for a full lighting solution. Thank you Emart!UPDATED 3 weeks in: (7.7.21): I think these are great lights for what I paid for them on sale. The "common" price for them is pretty close to reasonable for what you get as well. If this is your budget, then these are worth the money for streaming/zoom calls/facetime. Easy to set up and use; just no frills basic key lights.1. Powering these correctly seems trickier than it is. You do need decent wattage, but i do not think you need 3amp USB. These are running fine on some <2 amp LG cell phone adapters and I have no flickering at full brightness. (Updated 7.7.21)2. THEY ARE BRIGHT at the highest setting and from what I can tell might even could light a smaller green screen OR a person or two. You might two sets for both Green Screen and subject. (UPDATE 7.7.21): I bought a green screen, and using my two existing 60 watt lamps to light me and filters in OBS, these light a 6x9ft screen sufficiently for DECENT green screen. I still think 2 sets or these and 1 ring light would be the best solution.3. The included diffusers are rubbish. As another reviewer pointed out, you still see every dot in the unit at any brightness and any filter. The color filters are helpful; I find the blue best for my needs. Update: The diffusers are still rubbish, but they work for the green screen.4. While the included stands are useful, be gentle. They do not come off an super sturdy or long lasting. I'm not sure I would use this for a portable setup as I feel the tripods will give up after too much portable use. The stands have so far held up EXCEPT the included "gimbals" are very fragile and come apart easily. I got them put back together, but 1 is already failing.Photo Legend: No light, lights set kind of how I want them, and then maximum brightness. I also included a photo to show the lack of diffusion for the filters. I used the blue filter here, but all the filters produce the same visual effect.Once again, my initial impression is that these are great for what you pay for them. Basic, no frills beginner gear for sure. I livestream on Twitch, and am going to be using these until I can afford the ones that integrate into stream deck, Lumia stream, etc. Until then, I expect these to do the job. I will update if any issues arise for sure!
