Great video, and it's nice to find someone on YT who can actually plan and deliver a tutorial precisely and concisely. As for the barn-doors impeding on the beams, I would think that it's a moot point, as the light output will probably be further impeded when the barn-doors are closed inwards to any extent.
Hi Jen, your video was great. I have been looking at other videos by other reviewers and yours was by far the best. Lots of technical information and demonstration of how each type of light worked.
Good review, it really helped me decide what I wanted to do. Especially with the last side by side comparison of all the lights. Now, I have to admit that the thing I liked the most of the entire video was that shirt! I'm really digging it! Thanks again for the review!
Thank you! There were so many horrible review videos, but yours was actually quite helpful. I appreciate it! The only thing I would have liked to have seen would be the settings you had your camera on for the lighting test (ISO, aperture, etc.) to help give perspective.
For bloggers these can be good, keep the light close, soft light, but hard fall off (dark background), but for serious production, please understand that at 9ft with a diffusion screen, you drop to about 210 LUX on subject
Good work. The Neewer light is good value and The CRI rating is the icing on the cake. Neewer makes an excellent heavy duty light stand which is sold in pairs and works perfectly with this light.
Thanks for the comment, Richard! Yeah, the CRI rating is something special for a light at this output and price point. I'll have to check out the kit you mention and let people know about it. Cheers!
Thanks for the on-point review! I did pick it up partly due to the objectivity of this video, but I was also a bit surprised at the warmish slant when all LEDs are being used. Nevertheless, I think these can work great as a fill and back, while keeping my slightly cooler softbox as my key. Great job and love the channel! :)
@@StayPosh Oh I already have! I recognized Lola and may have indirectly met her via our mutual friend Steph (Ladymonster) who is active in San Francisco. Sadly I've lost touch with so much of that community except Steph and Loretta Jean in Toronto. What's the scene like in NOLA? I typically only make it that way for Jazzfest, bwa bwa bwaaaa... :D
Thank you Jen. I just got the lights and didn't even know how to open the little doors. If you check my latest video (Sting Chameleon), I really needed to improve my lights so I got these and I hope my next video does not have lighting issues.
Thanks for this was looking for a portable light, always like neewer stuff as they are in my budget but these look great. Got a small shoot coming up and this looks like it will fit the bill
For reference a standard 1K Tungsten redhead (movie light) cranks out around 27500 lumens and consumes between 210-240 watts. This is putting out somewhere in the region of tenth of that power with no where near the throw. It looks to be a good quality light in terms of it's build quality and feature set but unless you're blogging sitting in a room and not moving around a lot it's going to be very limited in terms of it's impact in a wider shot. You could possible use it to accent other more powerful lights but it's not going to flood a room even a small room with light and bring down your ISO.
I would think a 1k red head uses 1000 watts, so of course this wouldnt compare. And you certainly wouldnt use this to replace that kind of lumen rating. But your on the mark with the rest of your commebt for sure!
Would you recommend these to help light a wedding reception dance floor? My friend advised against them because the LEDs might blind people and said to go with softbox lights but those are always so huge and the dimmer on these is a really nice touch. And I like that the Neewer lights run on batteries so no one will trip over cords.
Best review I've found on these lights. I've heard people saying that the lower barn door doesn't allow you to tilt or angle them down enough. Do you find that to be the case? Thanks again, top knotch review.
I felt like the lower barn door did get in the way if using on a straight stand, But only if you are trying to use an extreme angle. To avoid, I would use a C stand with an arm or something comparable. Thanks for watching!
Hello! You could totally put a softbox over it to soften the light. The barn doors are useful for making the light more directional or blocking the light from spilling in a specific direction. Thanks for the question and check out my giveaway. Today is the last day to enter: th-cam.com/video/U-NZ0ETL3gc/w-d-xo.html
Still working like the day I bought it. That being said, it's not my number one light so it doesn't get used daily. Thanks for asking and hope this helps.
You explain things exactly like my sister! 5:50 "Okay, Ty. I'm going to set up these lights 1 meter away." 5:58 "I'm setting up this test 1 meter away, Ty." 6:07 "Ty, I'm going to show myself measuring out the lights one meter away so you don't forget that I set it up 1 meter away." 6:12 "Ty, I put up 1 meter on the screen so you won't forget that it's 1 meter away." Me: "...why didn't you tell me how far away the lights were, Jen?! That's important information!"
Jen, I purchased the Neewer lights. This may sound dumb, but I can't figure out how to use the lower barn door when the light is mounted. It is restricted by the frame.
Hmmm... I'm not sure I follow. Are you having a hard time pulling the door down? Or is the angle really extreme? You may need to get an C-Stand with a Boom pole, so you can angle the light down (see link).

Hi! The FalconEyes looks whiter because it's brighter, so if brightness is what you are looking for, then the Falcon is better. But the Neewer is bi-color, smaller, and cheaper, so those factors are something to consider too. Good luck!
Are you a teacher? Should be. What a great to-the-point, no nonsense review. Well demonstrated, clearly articulated without all the umms, ahhs, jump cuts and strained attempts to be cool. Which, of course, makes you cool. For the price, I think I can tolerate the minor annoyances. Buying these for my next shoot. Keep it up. Your channel will grow. Are they still holding up well after a month or so?
Thanks for the feedback and glad to hear this video was helpful for you. Yeah, I agree with you that for the price I can deal with the negatives. I am happy to report that these lights are still holding up fine. Thanks again, Carl.
Nice video! Subcribed! One question I didn't get answered is whether the white or tungsten LED's turn on suddenly, or can be dimmed all the way down to 1%.
Yes! Love a subscriber. The lights turn on a little suddenly. It's not super bright but it's not a perfect dim up. I would say maybe goes from 0 to 10, but then from there is a smooth fade.
have a couple of questions , what about the quality of this light, need to buy 3 of them, is make some difference vs chinnesse giant home leds? i mean , with this light the color of my camera (BMPCC4k) looks much better (skin tones ) ? or his quality is a bit better than common lights.? thank you
Could you do a video that compares it up against other lights in its own class? You know, to help people make buying decisions. Something like the GVM 480. I mean, obviously this one will be brighter than the tiny one and dimmer than the huge one. Showing that doesn't really help anyone.
Great Video Jen. which light did you use to actually light your video and how far was it from you? Im debating between the Excelvan 3 light kit and getting Newer LED lights...
Thanks for the comment! I use this for my main light and usually I keep it no more than 2 meters away if I can help it: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07228HG89/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=stayposh-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07228HG89&linkId=b662b056ce1243072b95b2490d3c6c6d
@@StayPosh Its a great light kit from what I see in your video. I'm putting together my basic youtube setup so I'm asking anyone that'll reply for advice. Thank you for replying ad thank you for this test.
@@RumbaniNdhlovu Absolutely, and after looking at the footage, it may have also been one of these Neewers, since the color is a bit warmer and the Falconeye I use is a daylight LED. Happy to help and let me know if you have any other questions!
Nice review Jen! 👍 Really thinking to get this ones! would you recommend to check anything else? I want them for interview as well. Is there any other option on this budget or this will do the job ? 😉
These are stinking great for the price but so are the ones I just reviewed with Lola van Ella. Check that video here: th-cam.com/video/U-NZ0ETL3gc/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugy_CSDlP9LSgbGHHKF4AaABAg
Bought two of these for use as photo lights and found the warm color tones to have a bit of a green-ish tint compared to my Walimex Pro Soft LED 200. Did you notice any issues with the warm white color accuracy? This was especially troublesome when combining the Neewer and Walimex lights, because correcting white balance for one light would add a tint to the other.
Thank you so much for all your video I learned so much from your channel, I want to upgrade my Lighting for my videos, In my channel I do a lot of floral design tutorial ,I’m planning to buy GoDox SL-60w for the key light ,Neewer 660 LED panel for the fill light and Neewer Cn-216 PCs led d’immuable ultra light for back light unfortunately I filming All my video in a small room so I don’t have a Lot of space and budget ,In your opinion should I mix The brand to fit in my budget or should I buy one brand for the fill light and the key light ? I’m sorry I ask a lot !🙇🏻🙇🏻🙏🏻
You are a great reviewer. Well done. So question from a non-photographer. I just want some really nice lighting for youtube vids and family pics on occasion. Is this overkill? I see a lot of $100-$200 kits but I fear getting them and wishing I had spent a little more. I don't mind spending up to around $600. Could a beginner get the hang of these fairly quick? Thanks much! I have sub'd as I'm trying to learn how to do this stuff now and love your explanations!
Hey! Thanks for the comment and glad you liked the video. If you have the budget to spend a little more I would go for something a little brighter. I really like my FalconEyes 18TX and also you can never go wrong with Aputure. That being said, I think these Neewers are a great entry level, bi-color option and having a few could serve you well. The next light I'll be reviewing is the Falcon Eyes SO-40TD which might turn out to be another great bi-color option, so be sure to check that one out and thanks for the sub! - Jen
Hi, I am considering this light for use during Skype piano lessons. The light would be about 4 feet away from me and my webcam would be attached to the light stand. Would this light be appropriately sized for that use? (both spread and strength. I probably need 2-3 feet of spread at the most.) Thanks!
Hey there! The Amazon listing says the light's Color Temperature is 3200-5600K so my rough guess of the mix is 4400k, but I don't have a meter to measure the actual temp. You likely could screenshot my video and check out the temp using a Premiere Pro (or Photoshop) tool too if you wanted to know the exact. Here's some info from Adobe about color temp in PP helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/color-correction-adjustment.html Hope this helps! Cheers!
Jen w/ Stay Posh thanks, yes it makes sense that the color temp should be something in between. I wish they made the color temp adjustable on all leds instead of having to switch between either two and losing intensity. The small Aputure F1 does it but doing it on a bigger panel would increase the price a lot I guess.
Depends on what you are doing, but I have used these for photography and they worked. I would recommend also checking out flash lighting for photography. Thanks for watching.
Hey, thanks for the question! I say the closer the light the better. Close lighting is going to allow you to have soft light which will look good on your subject. I think for the price this is a great place to start though, and even though I have bigger lights now, I started with these and still use them all the time. Just my thoughts. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
Hey! I don't know exactly but it was a few hours.. approx 2. They have different battery sizes too, so if you are looking for a longer life, that's an option. Thanks for the comment.
@@StayPosh Is the 2 hour estimate for both batteries inserted or just 1? What capacity of battery are you basing this on? I'm looking to get a couple of Neewer batteries with a capacity of 2600mAh.
I think for both batteries, but they sell all sizes, so I would recommend getting backups or larger batteries. Sorry I don't know the specifics on life.
I honestly have no idea. Tonight I will test this and add it to my Instagram story tomorrow at 11 am CST @stayposh. For those of you who miss the story and want to know if it flickers in 240 fps and 120 fps, I will be adding the test to the next video I complete which will go up on Friday 7/27/2018 at 11 am CST.
Asshole hey, there is a link to the batteries in the video description. I had to buy the batteries too, cuz they’re not included but they’re not too expensive so that’s a plus. Thanks for watching, Posh out!
C Earthquake if I had to guess prob this: 1/50, f4ish, and prob iso 800 or less. Sorry that’s a pretty loose guess. But it was not set to auto so the settings stay the same when testing the various lights. I have the iso higher in my mini light showdown video if u want to see more on how the little light performs. Thanks for watching and the sub.
It does not but here's a cheap option: www.amazon.com/Neewer-Photography-Relfectors-Softboxes-Backgrounds/dp/B00K69A0QY/ref=sr_1_5?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1543420379&sr=1-5&keywords=light+stand

Great video, and it's nice to find someone on YT who can actually plan and deliver a tutorial precisely and concisely. As for the barn-doors impeding on the beams, I would think that it's a moot point, as the light output will probably be further impeded when the barn-doors are closed inwards to any extent.

Thanks!
Very good review! Thank you
Hello, could you let me know what lighting stands you use?
just cheap ones from Amazon. let me know if you need a link
thank youi for that. great review
Superb content. Thank you.
thanks for watching
Hi again, I wish you had a link to amazon.ca for us Canadians. :)
Sorry! Send one to me and I'll post it.
Nice video! Subcribed! One question I didn't get answered is whether the white or tungsten LED's turn on suddenly, or can be dimmed all the way down to 1%.
Yes! Love a subscriber. The lights turn on a little suddenly. It's not super bright but it's not a perfect dim up. I would say maybe goes from 0 to 10, but then from there is a smooth fade.
have a couple of questions , what about the quality of this light, need to buy 3 of them, is make some difference vs chinnesse giant home leds? i mean , with this light the color of my camera (BMPCC4k) looks much better (skin tones ) ? or his quality is a bit better than common lights.? thank you
Could you do a video that compares it up against other lights in its own class? You know, to help people make buying decisions. Something like the GVM 480. I mean, obviously this one will be brighter than the tiny one and dimmer than the huge one. Showing that doesn't really help anyone.
Great Video Jen. which light did you use to actually light your video and how far was it from you?
Im debating between the Excelvan 3 light kit and getting Newer LED lights...
Thanks for the comment! I use this for my main light and usually I keep it no more than 2 meters away if I can help it: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07228HG89/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=stayposh-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07228HG89&linkId=b662b056ce1243072b95b2490d3c6c6d
@@StayPosh Its a great light kit from what I see in your video. I'm putting together my basic youtube setup so I'm asking anyone that'll reply for advice. Thank you for replying ad thank you for this test.
@@RumbaniNdhlovu Absolutely, and after looking at the footage, it may have also been one of these Neewers, since the color is a bit warmer and the Falconeye I use is a daylight LED. Happy to help and let me know if you have any other questions!
thank for the tips!!
Colour temp when both dials are turned up?
Should be available for view in video but the temp is about 4400k
Great video! Thanks
thanks for watching!
Nice review Jen! 👍 Really thinking to get this ones! would you recommend to check anything else? I want them for interview as well. Is there any other option on this budget or this will do the job ? 😉
These are stinking great for the price but so are the ones I just reviewed with Lola van Ella. Check that video here: th-cam.com/video/U-NZ0ETL3gc/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugy_CSDlP9LSgbGHHKF4AaABAg
Maybe you mentioned, but did you keep the diffuser on the Neewer for the three light comparison?
I removed all the diffusion. Thanks for watching!
best review ever
Thanks for watching!
Bought two of these for use as photo lights and found the warm color tones to have a bit of a green-ish tint compared to my Walimex Pro Soft LED 200. Did you notice any issues with the warm white color accuracy?
This was especially troublesome when combining the Neewer and Walimex lights, because correcting white balance for one light would add a tint to the other.
Thanks for the feedback! I didn't really notice any green, but I also didn't take any readings for color accuracy. Thanks for watching.
Hello from switzerland - thanks for the review! Very helpfull facts - very sympathetic presented. You got a new Follower. thumbs up :-)
That is amazing. Glad you liked and thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for all your video I learned so much from your channel, I want to upgrade my Lighting for my videos, In my channel I do a lot of floral design tutorial ,I’m planning to buy GoDox SL-60w for the key light ,Neewer 660 LED panel for the fill light and Neewer Cn-216 PCs led d’immuable ultra light for back light unfortunately I filming All my video in a small room so I don’t have a Lot of space and budget ,In your opinion should I mix The brand to fit in my budget or should I buy one brand for the fill light and the key light ? I’m sorry I ask a lot !🙇🏻🙇🏻🙏🏻
You are a great reviewer. Well done.
So question from a non-photographer. I just want some really nice lighting for youtube vids and family pics on occasion. Is this overkill? I see a lot of $100-$200 kits but I fear getting them and wishing I had spent a little more. I don't mind spending up to around $600. Could a beginner get the hang of these fairly quick?
Thanks much! I have sub'd as I'm trying to learn how to do this stuff now and love your explanations!
Hey! Thanks for the comment and glad you liked the video. If you have the budget to spend a little more I would go for something a little brighter. I really like my FalconEyes 18TX and also you can never go wrong with Aputure. That being said, I think these Neewers are a great entry level, bi-color option and having a few could serve you well. The next light I'll be reviewing is the Falcon Eyes SO-40TD which might turn out to be another great bi-color option, so be sure to check that one out and thanks for the sub! - Jen
CUTE! COOL!
Thanks for this! What sort of shutter speed would you say you would get with an incidence meter at ISO 100 and f8?
I shoot video mostly so I was using 1/50. Depends on how far your subject is from the light probably. Hope this helps
Is the power cable dual voltage?
Voltage: DC 12-15V
Hi, I am considering this light for use during Skype piano lessons. The light would be about 4 feet away from me and my webcam would be attached to the light stand. Would this light be appropriately sized for that use? (both spread and strength. I probably need 2-3 feet of spread at the most.) Thanks!
I definitely think this could do the trick. Thanks for watching and good luck with your lessons.
Thanks.
whats the color temperatur when both the tungsten and daylight leds are switched on?
Hey there! The Amazon listing says the light's Color Temperature is 3200-5600K so my rough guess of the mix is 4400k, but I don't have a meter to measure the actual temp. You likely could screenshot my video and check out the temp using a Premiere Pro (or Photoshop) tool too if you wanted to know the exact.
Here's some info from Adobe about color temp in PP helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/color-correction-adjustment.html
Hope this helps! Cheers!
Jen w/ Stay Posh thanks, yes it makes sense that the color temp should be something in between. I wish they made the color temp adjustable on all leds instead of having to switch between either two and losing intensity. The small Aputure F1 does it but doing it on a bigger panel would increase the price a lot I guess.
Would you recommend these lights for photography?
Depends on what you are doing, but I have used these for photography and they worked. I would recommend also checking out flash lighting for photography. Thanks for watching.
Hey Jen. I’m starting a TH-cam channel but my distance will be about 6-7 feet away. Will 2 of these lights do the the trick from that distance.
Hey, thanks for the question! I say the closer the light the better. Close lighting is going to allow you to have soft light which will look good on your subject. I think for the price this is a great place to start though, and even though I have bigger lights now, I started with these and still use them all the time. Just my thoughts. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
Had a question, How much time do you get out of the batteries at full brightness?
Hey! I don't know exactly but it was a few hours.. approx 2. They have different battery sizes too, so if you are looking for a longer life, that's an option. Thanks for the comment.
@@StayPosh Is the 2 hour estimate for both batteries inserted or just 1?
What capacity of battery are you basing this on?
I'm looking to get a couple of Neewer batteries with a capacity of 2600mAh.
I think for both batteries, but they sell all sizes, so I would recommend getting backups or larger batteries. Sorry I don't know the specifics on life.
Looks identical to my Dracast but not blue
Dope intro.
Thanks!
Totally. Thanks for watching, Hugh.
Does this light flicker when recording slo-mo, specifically iPhone @ 240fps?
I honestly have no idea. Tonight I will test this and add it to my Instagram story tomorrow at 11 am CST @stayposh. For those of you who miss the story and want to know if it flickers in 240 fps and 120 fps, I will be adding the test to the next video I complete which will go up on Friday 7/27/2018 at 11 am CST.
test is done, so Walter, be sure to check my IG tmrw. Posh out!
Such a tease, will do.
LED lights don't flicker.
@@djtoman6875 It depends on the dimmer, if you use voltage regulator dimmer there will be no flicker.
Mine didn't come with the batteries and didn't recommend which batteries to use,what kind of batteries did yours come with?
Asshole hey, there is a link to the batteries in the video description. I had to buy the batteries too, cuz they’re not included but they’re not too expensive so that’s a plus. Thanks for watching, Posh out!
Jen w/ Stay Posh thank you so much
Is it dual voltage ?
You can use battery (one of both slots) and it plugs in (D/C).
Nicee! Muito bom!
so nobody is going to point out the fact that she looks like an adult version of Eleven????
Bahahahaha! Yeah, I've heard that once before. Maybe I need to make a Stranger Things joke video.
What shutter speed, f-stop and iso did you use?
C Earthquake if I had to guess prob this: 1/50, f4ish, and prob iso 800 or less. Sorry that’s a pretty loose guess.
But it was not set to auto so the settings stay the same when testing the various lights. I have the iso higher in my mini light showdown video if u want to see more on how the little light performs. Thanks for watching and the sub.
can it come with a stand
It does not but here's a cheap option:

Jen w/ Stay Posh thanks sooooo muucchh
and how look if u do video with it?
You're looking at it! I use this light in this video.
wow just made me realise there is actually no point getting a light with 2 different bulbs, I will just use the different coloured film.
Cool! Thanks for watching.
@@StayPosh when i put film i was meaning gel.
I figured :)
Thanks for the video, what are you using as background is paper or pvc?, can you share the brand?
thanks.
It's paper! Sorry for the late reply. I bought if from Sam Flax and it would have been whatever was the cheapest. Good luck!
