RALENO 2 Packs LED Video Light and 75inches Stand Lighting Kit, CRI…

Nice Lights!
I bought these to add some lighting to my web meetings and other video content I’m going to be producing. They have been working well for my needs so far.First impression was that the package was smaller than I was expecting. The carrying case is quite compact when everything is disassembled and folded up. The mounting poles are in four telescoping sections, which helps with portability. However when fully extended, they are about 6 feet tall. Even at that height, the tripod bases seem to be stable, though you might want to add some weights if you regularly use them at that height. Also the charging cords just barely reach when fully extended, so keep that in mind if you will be using them for an extended period.The lights themselves are very bright at 100% and produce a nice soft light without having to add additional diffusion. The adjustable color temperature is a nice feature. They appear to peak in brightness at around 4000-4200K, I assume because this powers both sets of LEDs about equally. If you go to the highest or lowest color temp, the brightness will be somewhat less, but this is normal for dual-temp LEDs.The battery life is great also. I ran them for nearly two hours on battery when I first got them, and the charge on both lights went down to around 30%. They charge back up quickly too, and of course you can use them while charging — though as I mentioned, the cords are exactly 6 feet, so you will need extension cords unless they’re placed right on top of an outlet.The only annoyance is that the brightness and color temp settings can be changed while the lamp is off, and the switch is right next to the control dials on the back of the unit. So if you are fishing around for the switch, perhaps while the light is high up on the pole, you will inevitably hit one of the dials and change your settings. This requires bringing the light down so the screen can be seen and making adjustments. If the switch were on the other side from the dials, or if they didn’t change while powered off, this wouldn’t be a problem. But it’s not something I’d consider a dealbreaker — just something to be alert to.

A lot more than I expected for an inexpensive price!
I bought this on a Lightning deal to augment a Neewer studio lighting kit that uses CFL bulbs and soft-boxes. This RaLeno kit is much more compact and portable, with a very serviceable carrying case and impressively sturdy tripods (much sturdier than those in the Neewer lighting kit). Though I only received this RaLeno kit yesterday, I can tell that this is the one that I’ll be taking with me to remote shooting locations, as it’s lightweight, super simple to set up, and has built-in batteries.The lights themselves are slightly smaller than an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, and they weigh just about a pound each. They stay impressively cool to the touch, never getting much warmer than body temperature around the edges (the lighting surface itself never gets even warm). They put out 650 lux per light, which is roughly equivalent to a 50-watt bulb. A pair of these aren’t going to turn your whole room into something you can see from space, but they are certainly bright enough to illuminate a subject for close-in shots, or serve as a fill light (especially with the ability to adjust brightness by 1% values). You can also adjust the color temperature easily, with an LCD readout on the back of the panel.But what is most impressive about this set is the battery life. The built-in batteries lasted more than 2 hours and 45 minutes on first use, shining at 100% brightness. That makes these very useful for outside shooting, or even popping on top of a camera to go gonzo. Given that you can operate with either battery or power adapter, these are useful for a permanent setup or for traveling about.If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to provide a way to mount the lights sideways, since they are slightly wider than tall, in order to provide some flexibility for portrait illumination versus the native landscape orientation. But that’s just a quick idea to improve an already impressive piece of kit. I think this RaLeno setup is very reasonable package at a fine price.

Son casi perfectas. Sólo haría falta para mejorar las patas del trípode que son muy cortas y por eso un poco inestables. Pero hasta ahora me han funcionado de maravilla. Las recomiendo mucho. Es el segundo par que compro. Con el otro modelo más pequeño quedé menos satisfecho que con este. El estuche es un bonus increíble. Lo hace todo más fácil de llevar, y de cuidar.La batería dura bien hasta ahora no la he tenido que conectar en medio de una sesión. El brillo y potencia están ok.Gran producto, lo recomiendo mucho.
