(3 Packs) VILTROX vl-200 Light 30W Bi-Color 3300K-5600K Studio Lights Kit with Stand,CRI 95+ Wide Angel LED Photography Lighting for Video Shooting

These worked absolutely fabulous for the photo sessions I set up at a large event. They are lightweight, easy to set up. I used these with the AC cord rather than with battery so I can’t comment on its use with batteries. The brightness was perfect for the situation I was set up in.

I needed lights for webinars, simple videos for courses and other things. I am used to broadcast quality lighting but this is for my home studio. I don’t have a big budget at this time so I began looking for something basic. I read other reviews on this product. Some were not happy with the light stands. I am very happy with this system. I purchased 2 lights but will get a 3rd light. The carry bag has room enough for 3 lights. I like the carrying case. I like the fact that you can dim or brighten the lights and you can also change the light temp. Just one light makes a huge difference using a computer camera for a webinar.I was actually surprised that no batteries come with the lights. There are slots on the back of the lights for 2 lithium batteries. So if you want to use the light/s outside you will need to purchase 2 lithium batteries for each light. I would also love to have barn doors but for the price this is a great item.About the light stands. They are plastic and not metal. The good thing is they are light. For my use they are pretty versitale. One review said they are not stable. I do not agree. There are many positions and you can always add weight or a sandbag if you are concerned about someone knocking them over.They are easy to assemble. The remote is ok.Right now I am very happy for my basic needs. I highly recommend.

I'll start this by saying I've used the light on a few shoots, and have definitely found it to not only be useful, but also be a very good value. Lets unpack my experience.-Battery LifeIt takes two sony batteries to power these lights, which isn't great but isnt horrible. I would see these lights more as something you set up with DC power, that have the option to be battery powered if needed. No concerns here aside from the fact that it requires two. Depending on the brightness of your light, and the size of your batteries you will get different run times-Build QualityThey are fairly sturdy with minimal flex. I think they would survice quite a few falls and take a beating (if only because they are super light). The stands are slightly below the quality of expensive ones, but since they are included they get a pass. I have no fear of the power switch, or the dial. The included tilt function of the included 1/4 20 adapter may survive less falls, but feels fine for the size of the light.-Light QualityBest used bounced instead of pointed directly at people. It looks a little harsh, but luckily it makes of for that having enough punch to be used in dimmer settings. Don't buy this if you are looking for a light to use in the daytime to fight the sun. Would be great for a studio setup photography products. When you change the color temperature, it dims or brightens the 3600k and 5500k LED's, so max output is at 4400k.-PortabilityThis is where this light shines. IT IS SO THIN. It will almost always find a place in your bag due to this fact alone. I have little to compare it to since it is so shockingly thin. This does not compromise its sturdiness since its made of very robust ABS plastic. It comes with a case to hold three stands and theee lights, which is also great to grab with your tripod on the go.I would recommend these to anyone wanting to get into lighting on a budget. There is not much else in this price range that has quite the flexibility for power, portability, and output as these.

These lights are great for video. I use them to light a green screen that I use for videoconferencing and webinars. The lights are very bright at their highest setting and they can be dimmed as needed. The included power supplies provide the continuous power necessary for sustained video recording/streaming. I haven’t had a need to use the included stands but the lights are threaded to accept any standard tripod. I use Manfrotto Mini PIXI tripods that meet my needs perfectly. The remote is intuitive and works extremely well. Color temperature and brightness can be easily adjusted. Build quality is very good and, for two lights plus stands, it is an excellent value. I have tried (and returned) other lights. These are a keeper!

These are very useful lamps. The ability to change the kelvin is great. Depending on use, that makes a huge difference while filming. Either with a digital video camera or a standard pro camera. We all want to be able to control the light and this really helps. To be able to set camera and lamps together makes for less work in post. Great for a single subject or two, anymore then that may require more lamps. The remote makes it nice for on the fly adjustments. The battery use is good, but it is best to buy a couple upgraded batteries for obvious reasons. Also good for backlighting or accent lighting as well.The stands leave a bit to be desired. Feel a bit on the flimsy side, but have yet to fail, plus that is an easy fix if you have tons of equipment.The case is nice, but it's a soft case.I have used witha large group photobooth and they worked great the 5D mark III worked really well with these lampsOver all a good set of lamps for first time or back up. Have not been used as a primary set, but the performance has been really good so far. Great price makes it even that much better.

Already left a review - recommend

I shopped around for quite a while for lights - I think these are it. They are bright!!! (unlike many of them that have 1/2-1/2 reviews). I want bright at the top setting... of course, you can dim these. The remote is a bonus. These are more expensive - but they work. I do artwork and actually, have them on all the time - amazing! And, they will be great for any videos as well. Down the road, I may add a third light, since I purchased 2 the double set. The bag has room for three, when it comes down to storage if you expand. It is nice to have the whole kit in one. The tripods are not super-sturdy of you are out on the road - bit they work well in the studio and for me. These are good lights - and that is what I was looking for...

Pratique et fonctionnel

Die VL-600T Ringleuchte von Viltrox hat mich beim Auspacken schon überrascht, machte sie da doch einen sehr guten Eindruck.Ich habe schon einige Ringleuchten in dieser Preisklasse und von daher stellte ich mich gleich darauf ein, dass auch dieses Ringleuchte von der Verarbeitung her jetzt nicht mit den ganz teuren Teilen mithalten würde.Doch muss ich sagen, schaut das Ganze besser aus als erwartet, andere meiner Ringleuchten sind da deutlich klappriger und auch nicht so gut verpackt.Die Viltrox Ringleuchte bekam nicht nur einen einfachen Beutel zur Aufbewahrung spendiert, nein, wir haben hier gar auch eine große, feste Schaustoffform in der Tasche, in welche wir die Ringleuchte sicher einbetten dürfen.Das Stativ dann stellte sich auch als äusserst robust heraus, wenn auch mit den typischen Kunststoff Schraubflügeln, die wiederum zum Teil aber schön groß und griffig ausfallen.Das Rohr ist sehr dick (3cm) und schwingt von daher nicht ganz so schlimm, wie die Leuchten mit den dünnen (2cm) Stativen.Schön auch, dass wir hier keine runden Beine, sondern leicht geformte, gerade Schienen als Beine haben, wodurch das zusammen "gefaltete" Stativ recht schlank wirkt.Generell jedenfalls wirkt hier alles schonmal sehr gut. Immer auf die Preisklasse bezogen, versteht sich.Die Ringleuchte dann, macht ebenfalls einen guten Eindruck, keine Rede von schlechter Verarbeitung, wie hier anderswo geschrieben wird. Alleine schon, dass wir hier Metallbügel haben, zwischen Stativ und Leuchte, macht in dieser Preisklasse was her.Wie erwähnt, besitze ich einige LED Ringleuchten in ähnlicher Preisklasse, diese sind alle mit auswechselbaren Kunststoff Diffusionsfiltern ausgestattet. Die Viltrox VL-600T Ringleuchte dagegen hat ein festes, gewölbtes Kunststoffgehäuse, wodurch sie beinahe wirkt, wie eine Röhrenlicht Ringleuchte, welche ja gerade von vielen Fotografen bevorzugt wird, da diese das Licht besser verteilen, als die platten LED Ringleuchten.Schön ist hier, bei dem gewölbten Kunststoff, dass die Lichtverteilung sehr gleichmäßig wirkt und man die einzelnen LEDs im Grunde gar nicht sieht.Auch wirkt dadurch das Licht nicht ganz so grell, was angenehmer für die Augen ist.Statt auswechselbaren Kunststoffplatten haben wir dann hier die Möglichkeit, die Lichtstärke und Farbe über den Regler an der Leuchte selbst, oder eben der Fernbedienung zu verändern.Das Licht lässt sich farblich von dezent warmen weiß, über weißes, bis dezent kalt blauem Licht verändern.Mit der Fernbedienung hatte ich anfänglich zu kämpfen, da auch die Anleitung nur in Englisch und dieses nicht gerade meine Stärke ist. Aber hat man den Dreh raus, ist das schon eine feine Sache, da man auch mehrere Lichtprofile über die Fernbedienung abspeichern kann.Einzig nervig ist, dass wir die Tasten zum hoch und runter drehen der Licht/Farbstärke nicht gedrückt halten können, sondern für jede Stufe einen Klick machen müssen. Da Klickt man sich dann schonmal blöde.Also, soweit alles wirklich toll, auch, dass wie noch eine Halterung für unser Handy spendiert bekommen, sowie verschiedene Steckerformen.Nicht ganz befriedigen konnte mich dann aber die Größe der Leuchte, welche gerade mal einen Innendurchmesser von 29cm hat. Meine anderen Ringleuchten kommen mit 36cm daher.Will man also diesen schönen Rundlichteffekt auf den Augen haben, muss man schon sehr nahe an die Leuchte heran.Wichtig auch, Nase pudern, sonst haben wir auch auf deren Spitzen einen schönen, hellen Kreis.Abgesehen davon aber eine tolle Leuchte, welche ich im Vorfeld so gar nicht erwartet hätte.Von mir daher viereinhalb Sterne.

Really good
