Andoer 260 LED Video Light

Very good ,just need batteries

my only possible criticism would be that the .....actually you know what, i dont have any gripes...i was going to say that all the led are not 100% even but this light is awesome, I have tries it in the daylight on a hot sunny day and it comes out on an hdr tr10 Beautifully at 60fps high speed shooting... perfect! For a simple battery operated LED on set light, for the price, a bargain! If you are a low budget film maker......dont think....Buy this!

This is a nice little light panel and, with the diffuser supplied, very effective to a metre and a half, before falling off substantially thereafter. This is certainly good enough for my purposes, which is to conduct interviews and close action shots, having a range of other lighting for room lighting etc. You need batteries, 6 AA or, as I have used Sony FM 30's and it also takes some panasonic batteries. On a rig with a small action cam there is a definite change of balance and addition of weight, but not so much as to make it difficult to use. It is supplied with a diffuser and orange filter, changing the colour temperature from 5,600 k to 3,200 k. I would not be inclined to use the light without a diffuser on people, especially in close-up, but the panel is adjustable. Using a fully charged Sony battery for around 10 -15 minutes at full power I found that one of the four test lights goes out, suggesting a range of between 40 minutes to an hour of lighting, which is quite good in my experience. The light is clean and correct, providing good key lighting of the subject. The lamp is made out of cheap plastic and I do wonder how long the LED's will last for, but if you get a year or more of use, it will be good value. I have bought a lot of Chinese lighting for photography and video over the last few years and it always seems a bit insubstantial; nevertheless, I am still using the same equipment I bought 5 years ago and have never had a problem with it. I am completely satisfied with this lamp and feel confident that it will last, providing it is suitably cared for. I think that the design and build is certainly good enough and that it is a useful and value for money purchase.

I own several sets of photography lights which cost much more than the CN-160, and since purchasing this I'm wondering why I paid so much. Ok, so it's not as rugged as some far more expensive items but it's not exactly fragile, you just don't want to bash it about. The light uses a wide range of batteries, from various camera rechargeable batteries to regular AA cells (6 of them). Even though the light lasts is efficient and but it lasts for quite a long time on AA cells, you're going to want to take quite a few spares on longer shoots. The light has a very handy power check button on the back which shows the current battery charge with a row of four LED's. The bundled filters work really well as does the variable brightness, the light output is *very* bright at full power and is remarkable for such a small unit. The only feature I would have really liked to have seem would be a 9v power socket for stand / external power use (but I cannot complain at all at this price). In summary, a terrific five-star product, exceptional value for money.

This item would be a great addition for any videographers/photographers that needs a bright and constant light on, it is also great for background lighting, the only thing i would fault it on it that the plastic construction of it. It feels cheap but after dropping it by accident it hasn't shattered or broken yet.
