I can't wait to try a lighting tutorial with these lights. Love that I have a battery-powered option to make it easier for lighting videos (and maybe photos, too).
i was watching a few videos on this light and Markuspix has the best review for this light, you called the added reflector a "stupid little metal thing"? the reflector increases the light output without having to turn up the power. ie: you could have the power at 30% and the reflector would produce a 40% ( 1 stop increase ) output.
That is true, it does increase the output, however it focuses it still to the center creating a very concentrated hot spot. It’s been my experience watching others I have worked with and those I follow that they would rather use a softbox/diffuser to break that intensity up. The reflector can be helpful if you’re spotlighting something or going for that concentrated light look, but I rarely use it and I only know 1 person who uses it on a semi-consistent basis.

not a lens-- so a Roscoe film filter for color temps beats the dial a temp need for the money if cheap
