I would like to suggest you to disable at least the auto white balance from you recording camera. In this way you can really show what are the differences in light colour. It can improve you quality video too since you can make some really cool effects setting the two lights to different temps. Said that thanks for the review.
Great info.A questions - can the piece that protrudes form the bottom of the light and which fits over the tripod for mounting be removed to reveal threads on the bottom of the light fixture, so that the light can be screwed onto a different tripod?
To mount the led light vertically you should remove the plastic cap on the light stand, the black cap on the tip of the stand. It should become more stable that way.
I’ve used light panels from neewer for over a year now and never once realize that’s why they have that hole in the middle of the clamp. You just saved me having to buy an adapter so I can tilt them down while using a soft box.
Not sure if this has already been mentioned but your old lights are fluorescent light bulbs not halogens. They are also adjustable since their position can be changed, (which will change the intensity of the light hitting the surface). I also own these lights (fluorescent) and you are meant to include umbrella diffusers, which you haven't bothered with. If you did, you wouldn't require new lights since you wouldn't suffer from glare. I think Mr Geek Street already knows this but would rather convolute his video. Basically if you want more colour temp options beyond 5500k, barndoors to control direction of light and a controller; possibly go with Neewer Bi-color 660 LED Video Light & Stand Kit but also shop around. 👍
There are so many types of lights for shooting! I also have two. Recently, I use only godox instead of neewer ... The video was very interesting! I will come to play again. With love from Japan :)
I just bought two of the older model, arriving today. I also bought two 480 RGBs, arriving tomorrow. I got these 660 bi-color JUST to light up a green screen, set up a very decent distance behind me, like 6 feet, or 2 meters if you’re not a Yank. Since you can’t dial in temperature on these old models, if I have both yellow and white at 100% for maximum brightness, what temperature am I at? Split the difference, and I’m at 4400? Also, on the newer model shown here, I assume the reason those dials don’t have hard stops is because they CAN’T. They have to be continuous/infinity potentiometers since you ALSO have the temperature control, which is going to override the individual yellow and white dial settings.
Oh dear, the same problem applies to demonstrating light levels, turn off your auto iris on your video camera and set it to appear normal at say 50% brightness, then also announce this is what you have done and then you can show to some degree brightness lowering and increasing, obviously you can only show effect and not the actual brightness you experience, for that you would need a light meter at a preset distance from the light source and show the meter reading versus settings so people will know how effective they are or are not.
Excellent Video! I have been hired to do some product photography. As a portrait photographer, I believe that I'm going to get use out of these in both dimensions! Thanks so much :)!! You were amazing! Happy New Year :)!!
Thanks for the video, but I'm really regretting my purchase. Mine does not have the same parts as yours (even though same model number) so I can't get it assembled.
Those original lights of yours are compact fluorescent lights and not halogen, that is a far superior and very different light type. In my opinion fluorescent light of any kind should not be used for photography purposes, or for reading or fine detail work
Mine doesn't have that second hole neither, and there's no way I can't change the angle, I have been looking for adapters but it seems there's nothing.
If you wish to show light colouration differences you need to turn off the auto white balance on your camera and set it to something people will know like 5500k or 6000k and mention this setting you have chose before demonstrating the colour changes, you also need to turn off other light sources like the rear desk lights and the original lamps and block out any daylight if there is any entering the area, then as you change light colour it will show in the video, this is basic stuff. You really should know this or have researched it before attempting to demonstrate it

You're welcome thanks for the info
So many reviewers get upset about not being able to tilt down with the barn doors open. Such a straight forward solution. Thanks

Appreciate the straightforward test, you did a solid job covering all the points of the key points of the lights.
To mount the led light vertically you should remove the plastic cap on the light stand, the black cap on the tip of the stand. It should become more stable that way.
Man, I remember when your setup was just a table and you filming hand held. Man, your quality has improved.
Thanks buddy!
Thanks! Very helpful information. I've had the lights for months, lost the instructions, and forgot how to do it. Thanks again!
Good to hear the video helped

Your a life saver for this video thank you !!😭

Bear grills did a really good job on this review
Legit had my light setup the wrong way (where it couldn't swivel up and down). Just saved me with this haha

Yo great video man. I have always loved neewer products.
Thanks mate!
A great review as always. 👍
Thanks!
Good review. Helped me make my decision!!!
Do you need x2 batteries for one light, if you want to go mobile?
Excellent Video! I have been hired to do some product photography. As a portrait photographer, I believe that I'm going to get use out of these in both dimensions! Thanks so much :)!! You were amazing! Happy New Year :)!!
Thanks for the comment and support, much appreciated! Happy new year!
Can I use this in the United States ? Is it made for British electrical outlets?
Well done! Thank you.
We bought a couple of these. It'd be nice if the lights actually fitted properly in the case!
Really? I'm surprised....but ive never put them away since I got.
Thanks for the video, but I'm really regretting my purchase. Mine does not have the same parts as yours (even though same model number) so I can't get it assembled.
What camera do you use to film this unboxing?
maybe it is just how it appears in the video, but the brightness doesn't seem that much different between 50% to 100%.
Thank u!
Nice little review. I need to up my lighting game. I'm largely still relying on daylight which can be a bit of an issue :D
Thanks!
Did the stand and light come together or dod you buy separately ?
It came together
Can I buy the remote sperately at another time?
Does the remote come with it.
Yes
Well, mine just came in and it doesn't have the hole to put the light 90 degrees tilted onto the tripod...
Maybe they changed the design?
Those original lights of yours are compact fluorescent lights and not halogen, that is a far superior and very different light type. In my opinion fluorescent light of any kind should not be used for photography purposes, or for reading or fine detail work
I think in the old model, there is no second whole in the locking point. Does anybody know more about it?
Mine doesn't have that second hole neither, and there's no way I can't change the angle, I have been looking for adapters but it seems there's nothing.
@@RodrigoVazquez91 I thrilled the 15mm holes myself... its difficult, and its not near the industrial holes but it works...

0:36 sorry you are hereby disqualified to be called a geek - that is a Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL), not halogen.
Take the rubber cap off the stand and it will fit the other way 😂😂😂
I’m sorry but I really have a question, when purchasing them, does it come in a set of twos or I’d have to order the 2 lights myself to get two?
This came in a set of 2, I've included links in the description to the set I purchased.
