Are any of these lights your favorite? Or do you have one you like better that's not on this list?
Lighting tutorial please, how to achieve Party lights set up in my music video using tubelights or what? please replyyy
I encountered this Aputure light AL-F7 on RUclips many times, either in reviews or settings. I understand F7 is a relatively old light compared the pocket lights in this video. Is F7 out of date now, or replaceable by smaller pocket lights? If you look at the Aputure product category, it is in Travel Light and nothing newer than F7 listed in there. It might be interesting to have a review if there is a number of lights (Lupo smartpanel might be one) in the same league and what is your view of their usage, for instance, don't bother with this category...bulky and very limited usage :-)
@@zhenyucai That's a great question. The F7 isn't out of date in my opinion because it was a well designed light to begin with.
It's kind of in between a "regular" pocket light and something like the Lupo Smartpanel in size and brightness. And for the price, it's definitely still useful, especially since it's super color accurate.
The beam angle is 45 degrees like the Smartpanel, but it has a huge color temperature range of 3200-9500K, whereas the Smartpanel is 3200-5600K, so the F7 can be used a bit more creatively in that way.
You can compare it to the Smartpanel here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Aputure+Amaran+AL-F7&light2=Lupo+Smartpanel+Dual+Color
I hope that helps :)
@@NewLayer Yeah, doesn't look like being replaced. But you can still poke Aputure, and they may give us something even better :-) :-)
Thanks @New Layer! Did you review the Boling P1? If so, what were your thoughts and how did it compare?
Great stuff! I have a few of these lights myself and agree with pretty much all of your findings here.
Glad to hear I'm not crazy, hehe. I hope to get some more lights in the future that I couldn't cover here for a part 2 down the road.
It’s crazy how many fantastic options we have for small RGB lights now. Seems like just a few years ago there weren’t any
It really is! I had 20 others I couldn't include here, and can think of another 5+ I don't have off the top of my head!
I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED thanks.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great reviews. Really helpful to someone just getting started. Thanks you and new sub
Thanks, glad it was helpful :)
OMG! This is the video I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
Great comparison review, as always 🙂
Thank you! Cheers!
Oook....now I simply want them all. Have to watch it again. Thank you
Just do what I did and get them all, LOL!
Great job as always!
Thanks again!
I think this is the most useful video for me. Straight to the point and dry humor on top
Thanks, glad you liked it. Plenty more lighting-related videos to be found on my channel :)
@@NewLayer just subscribed. ✅ But many you can help me. I’m looking for a good light that’s not crazy big that I can bring while traveling but still get a lot of use from. I’d really appreciate some guidance. There’s just so many lights to choose from
@@ianleex6874 My current favorite is the Nanlite LitoLite 5C. It's very small, has good battery life, and has focusing lenses in front of the LEDs so it's brighter than other lights its size. It's also relatively inexpensive and comes with a carrying case and silicone diffuser.
Once Nanlite releases their new mobile app, it'll be remotely controllable as well.
If you need mobile app control right now, the Aputure MC is great. It's not as bright, and a bit smaller, but still a very solid choice.
Hope that helps :)
@@NewLayer helps a lot. I’m looking into it now. Thanks for the response! Appreciate it
Great video, I haven't seen a refreshed update on RGB pocket lights fora while.
Thanks, glad you liked it. I've already picked up a couple more options since I posted this, so a Part 2 will be coming somewhere down the line :)
ruclips.net/video/oYRVVqtYZ8o/видео.htmlsi=cEpSLCRqXh37V6kC
I just got my Weeylite RB9 a week ago. I'm not gonna lie, it's an impressive pocket light!
Nice! I can't wait to see where Weeylite goes with their lights. So far so good :)
Please make an updated one! Very helpful 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks! Just buy two of them with your links.
Nice! Let me know how you like them when they arrive. Thanks for the support :)
thank you for your review. very useful. i heard about the Luxli lineup. they are much more expensive than other brand. the question is, is it worth the price?
Thanks for the video as usual. I'm deciding between the LAOFAS and the Falcon eyes F7 II and what's holding me back is the power output, one is 8w the other 12w.
The brightness difference is actually pretty small so if you plan to use them as just accent lights, either should be fine.
The thing to know about the F7 II is that it’s very heavy and large compared to other pocket lights. If that doesn’t bother you it’s a great light, I just prefer more portable and compact ones.
@@NewLayer thank you man! Great help
Great video. But still struggling to pick one. Thanks for vouching for the cheaper ones tho. Always tough to make the leap and pick up something cheap from an unknown brand.
Thanks, glad it helps. The Laofas are so cheap it wouldn't be the worst loss if one died, and via Amazon returns/exchanges are super easy, so that's nice. And honestly, a lot of the smaller brands are all just pieced together from the same manufacturers, so unless you're buying a premium light, the quality is all very similar.
That’s a lot of pocket lights. Surprised to see that the mc is the dimmest one. Those lights look great!
I had about 20 more, but just couldn't bring myself to make a video on all of them, so I had to pick favorites. At the same time, there's 2-3 lights I don't have that I think might make the list, I just couldn't include them without ever having used them.
Wow I love your video it's really creative ♥️⁉️
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Great video! if you had to choose between WEEYLITE RB9 and IVISII G2 (what I don't like about this light is that it doesn't come with a diffuser) Which one would you choose?
I’d probably go with the Weeylite because they have more lighting products that all work with their wireless app, and I like having a cohesive set of lights whenever possible. Hope that helps :)
The Mario analogy lol nice
I figured it'd really hit home for a certain demographic, LOL.
While the Luxi Viola has been around a while might you consider the Luxli Fiddle? In some respects seems new and improved. While not magnetic it looks to be bright and supposedly the internal battery lasts 3 hours at full brightness. That might make it a good on-camera light as well. One of my concerns you didn't touch on is battery life and in some cases, it can be a minor pain if an internal battery dies during a shoot. Your thoughts?
There are definitely a few lights I don't personally have, but would probably make the list if I had them. I'll do a follow up in the future, assuming I eventually get ahold of them.
The good thing about battery life is that you can calculate it very, very closely based on the capacity (in mAh), the voltage, and the output wattage. The equation is (mAh*Volts)/(Watts*1000) = (hours)
So if you have a light with a 3000mAh battery at 3.7V and is 8 watts, it would be (3000*3.7)/(8*1000), which equals 1.3875 hours, or 1 hour, 23 minutes at 100% power.
Hope that helps :)
Nice review! Do you have experience with the Soonpho P10? I'm looking at buying like three RGB-lights to have as accents during shoots, and I have good experience with the Laofas Rainbow Fresh, but was curious on how this compares to the Soonpho. Thanks!
Thanks! I don't have experience with those, but they look fine, and it's hard to go wrong at that price. They are probably very comparable to the Rainbow Fresh, so either should do you well!
@@NewLayer thanks. I'll order a few and see where it goes, I read somewhere they can also be used while charging which is a plus for me. Probably overthinking it at this price point though😵
You RGB rock JT! :-)
Haha, thanks. Glad you liked it :)
Great video, but I was curious if you only had to pick one which one would it be. I just purchased the Ivisii G2 and it seems like better color science than the rest and puts out 32 Watts of power, for me I think it is the clear winner, just wondering your thoughts? Thanks
The G2 seems to be a popular choice for its brightness and build quality, and probably the articulating arm. It's a great light.
Personally, I pretty very small pocket lights, so I like the Aputure MC for the size and Sidus Link control with my other Aputure lights, and the Nanlite LitoLite 5C for the size, and brightness due to the focusing lenses on it.
There's really no clear winner, because it depends on your needs. But I like those 2 as small, good all-around lights :)
@@NewLayer awesome, thank you 👍👊🙏
So of the options that have apps, do the apps allow you to control each light individually if you have more than one? Or do the apps only allow you to control the group of lights? So in other words, are you able to make one light orange and another light blue using the app? Thanks!
You can control multiple lights at the same time or individually by setting each one to the same or a different channel or group.
Awesome! What do you think about the Godox M1?
Thanks! I've never used it personally, but it's essentially the same as the R1 in this video with a more traditional form factor. So it has the built in mic + the articulating arm, but it's also $129, so unless syncing to music or specifically sticking with Godox is a priority, then the Ivisii G2 will do the same thing for less.
Just a question for you about Bicolor vs RGBWW. When going for ultimate
color accuracy for products (daylight or WB accuracy), does the ability
to dial in all these different settings matter? I see that for example
the Aputure MC, and the Litra studio add all types of adjustments to fine tune color (adjust green cast for example). (BTW, Litra studio thoughts as it's not listed here?). If you're going for a version of "White" light, does the RGBWW add anything or will Bi-Color more than measure up?
Thanks
Bi-color will be brighter, and RGB will be slightly more accurate IF they have green/magenta adjustment on them, as well as being able to better match other lights in your scene. I don’t use pocket lights for brightness, rather for accent lighting, so I’d get an RGBWW with tint control if it’s in the budget 👍
Thanks very much for your thoughtful answer. Do you have any thoughts on the LitraStudio? It wasn't mentioned here but I know you've tested other Litra products.
@@mbruder4 I've never tried the LitraStudio, only the Litra Pro and Torch 2.0.
The color accuracy on those lights is unfortunately just not good. You can compare them here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Litra+LitraPro&light2=Litra+LitraTorch+2.0
The Studio may use different LEDs, but I don't know. They seem to sacrifice a bit in the light quality in order to provide the ruggedness they offer, so it just depends on your priorities and budget I think.
Is the Nanlite LitoLite 5C a good option for product photography? If not, what are your suggestions? I'm looking for something bright and affordable, preferably comes with a diffuser.
Yes! It's my favorite overall RGB pocket light. It's extra bright because of the focusing lenses, and adding the silicone diffuser softens it when needed. Very small and compact, I love it.
Hi.
Great vid.
Wat wud u say is better ..g2 or weeylite?
In term of raw power and brightness.
Thanks
They are practically identical. You can compare them more here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Ivisii+G2&light2=Weeylite+RB9
I’m looking forward to the top ten cargo shorts video.
It's going to be a battle at the top between Hurley and Pac San I can tell you right now.
Great
I like to know best rgb light for still photography ( pocket size form factor)
The brightest possible light since photography requires higher output than video. It came out after this video, but the Lupo Kickasspanel is extremely bright and an amazing RGB light: geni.us/lupokickasspanel
If you want something really tiny, the Nanlite Litolite 5C is a great choice because it has focusing lenses on the front so it's extra bright: geni.us/nanlitelitolite5c
What are your thoughts on the Godox M1? I think it’s like the Godox puck light, and I found it for ~$79
For $79 that's a good deal. I don't personally have one, but I've heard they're essentially the same as the R1 in a rectangular form factor. I think most of what makes the R1 good is the puck shape and modifier mount, but for $79 you aren't wasting money either way.
Great review! Which is the brightest? I just want a bright accurate bi-color light that’s functional, all the other features are just icing after that
If you're after bi-color, I did a video on ~15 bi-color options here: ruclips.net/video/vYN5JbfdIpw/видео.html Bi-color will be brighter than RGB for the same size/power since they are all white/tungsten LEDs and no RGB LEDs.
You can also visit my light comparison tool and check the brightness of almost all of the lights I mentioned in both videos. I have to add a few more of the RGB ones still: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare
Let me know if you have any other specific questions :)
@@NewLayer I watched that, I'll def check it again. What metric am I looking at to compare brightness?
@@erbartlett The measurement in lux is kind of the "raw" number, and on my tool I convert that to f-stops, which tells you the settings you would need your camera to be at to get proper exposure using any given light at 100% brightness with no modifiers. Hope that helps.
Which one would you say is best overall? I do a lot of club shooting so I need something relatively small, ideally with a wide beam angle so it can do a decent job at illuminating more than just one person for when I'm unable to bounce it, although I know that's asking for a lot.
My overall favorite is the Nanlite LitoLite 5C because it's small and very bright since it has focusing lenses on it. and if you want to illuminate a wider area, you can stick the silicone diffuser on it to make it a ~180 degree beam angle. Hope that helps! geni.us/nanlitelitolite5c
@@NewLayer That helps a whole lot! I think I'll go with that one
@@NewLayer Using your affiliate link of course
@@PraiseYeezus No problem, thanks for the support! :)
Great Video!! Which one is the best value for money?
If I had to choose just 1, it would be the Nanlite LitoLite 5C or the Aputure MC. Hope that helps.
Great video! Wich one would you buy if you cann only buy one?
I think I still prefer the Nanlite LitoLite 5C for how small it is for it's brightness, price, and feature set.
Just curious if you reviewed the Lumecube Panel Pro, and if it didn't make your cut.
I had the Lumecube Panel Go, which is the bi-color one, and I find them to be fine lights, just very overpriced for how "vanilla" they are Vs. the alternatives. I don't see a scenario in which I'd recommend them over other similar lights simply due to the high cost. Hope that helps :)
Hi. Does the Ivisiii G2 have an iPhone app? There was no demo like the others, thus the question. Thanks much...great videos.
No that one doesn’t. And thanks!
If you had to pick one to-go, which would you pick as fast as possible? Just curious ;)
Aputure MC because it’s super well rounded, although not very bright and a little more expensive. Or the Nanlite LitoLite 5C, which is cheaper and brighter, but doesn’t have good app control yet. Hope that helps!
have you tried the new yongnuo yn360 mini light tube? I heard it was great :)
I have not, but I have 7-8 new tube lights to cover in a Part 2 soon. Maybe I can get my hands on those as well.
I have an art channel (not this one) and I make overhead shots of time lapses. I honestly really need a light that I can use for that, that can replace daylight. I’m not an expert with lights at all so I’m really confused on which one I should buy. Do you have any suggestions?
If you don't need RGB, then watch this and get a bi-color light: ruclips.net/video/vYN5JbfdIpw/видео.html You'll get more brightness out of those than an RGB light.
Something in that video like the Lupo Smartpanel, Aputure Amaran F7, or Intellytech Pocket Litecloth will be significantly brighter than anything else.
@@NewLayer thanks!
Aputure MC seems way to weak to be effective ? What would you choose between Nanlite LitoLite 5C vs Weeylite RB9 ?
I used to feel that way, but it just depends on your needs. For my talking head stuff I shoot 1/50 sec, f/2.8, ISO640 (in S-LOG3), so the MC would be fine for that from 5-6 feet away no problem, or as a practical in frame, even at 50% or so. But yes, if you need more power, one of the brighter lights may be the best option.
The Nanlite LitoLite 5C is arguably my overall favorite because it's much brighter but still tiny. The Weeylite RB9 is great too, but bigger and significantly heavier. I try to keep things as light and compact as possible in most scenarios, so I'd personally get 1-2 LitoLites. Hope that helps!
Great vid ! Which of these lights is the brightest ? Also, how many lux is the IVISII G2 ? I can't seem to find any info on that anywhere 😬 Thank you !
The IVISII G2 is 1 full stop brighter than the Aputure MC. You can compare it to the others here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Ivisii+G2&light2=Aputure+MC
The brightest small light would be the Nanlite LitoLite 5C because it has focusing lenses on the front. The same thing goes for the Luxli Viola, but it's also way bigger.
The Falconeyes F7 Fold is also bright because it's much bigger, and double panel.
I hope that helps :)
@@NewLayer very helpful, thank you ! Have you had the opportunity to test the Pilotfly Atomcube RX1 and if you did, is there a reason why it didn't make it into your video ?
@@tuanofakind I have not. Just looking at it, it's a great light, but for $170, it's way more expensive than something that would do the same things for less.
The only "special" things I see about it are mobile app control (the Laofas Rainbow Sophomore does this for way cheaper), and it comes with an l-mounting bracket, which you could get with the IVISII G2, or even find separate for less.
Hope that helps :)
@@NewLayer thank you so much ! It can be so hard comparing all of these lights just looking at product descriptions and separate reviews but I have a much clearer view now 😁
@@tuanofakind Happy to help!
I new to video and need a key and fill light. Which would you recommend for starters of a RUclips channel? Thx
The Nanlite FS-150 with a 32"-36" collapsible beauty dish, and something like the Nanlite LitoLite 5C shown in this video. I did a video on the Nanlite FS series if you want to check that out, but here's links to the products I just mentioned:
geni.us/nanlitefs150
geni.us/laofasbeautydish85
geni.us/glowbeautydish34silver
geni.us/nanlitelitolite5c
I have the IVISII G2, I've purchased two and they both have a high frequency hum, it's kind of annoying. Does your copy hum? Are any of these other lights silent? The main reason I like this one is the battery life though.
Thank you for putting this together.
Sorry to hear that! Mine doesn't hum at all. And all of these lights should be silent since none have fans. I have come across high pitched ringing on a couple lights (COB lights both times) when components are going bad, so I wonder if they are dying or switched to a lower quality part or something.
@@NewLayer yeah I just ordered two of Amazon and both had it. It’s kind of an unsettling high pitch, like the back of old televisions. I will maybe try a third. Do any of these others match it for brightness or battery life? Thank you for the information action, I subscribed.
@@nickdubesa8068 The small one that is actually around 1 full stop brighter is the Nanlite LitoLite 5C: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Ivisii+G2&light2=Nanlite+LitoLite+5C
It has focusing lenses on the front, so it has a tighter beam angle, which makes it a bit brighter.
It's lighter and smaller as well, and what I use most of the time because it's just solid all around.
Hope that helps.
@@NewLayer that helps a lot! Thank you for the link
Aside from the obvious FalconEyes F7 fold, which one is the brightest?
The LitoLite 5C is very bright for its size due to the focusing lens on the front, but still has a very usable beam angle. You can compare it to the MC here, which is a similar size newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Nanlite+LitoLite+5C&light2=Aputure+MC
The Luxli Viola is the brightest of the bunch because it too uses a focusing lens, but is twice the wattage/size of the LitoLite 5C.
I haven't added a couple of these to my database yet, but I hope that helps :)
Wow lots of options. I want an RGB light just to add some color to the back wall when I'm making a talking head youtube video. I'm looking for something both bright and small so I only need one and will fit in my gear backpack. And something that won't break the bank. What would you suggest?
For basic color and functionality, the Laofas Rainbow Fresh is hard to beat geni.us/laofasrainbowfresh
If you want the same thing + mobile app control, the Rainbow Sophomore is the least expensive light with wireless control: geni.us/laofasrainbowsophomore
They are as bright as any other "basic" RGB pocket light, so unless you're in the market for a $150+ light that is especially designed for max brightness using a focusing lens, those would be my choices.
@@NewLayer Thanks for the helpful information.
Hi. Do you have an opinion on the Pixel G1s RGB pocket light?
Never used that one unfortunately, but based on the specs, there's not a ton of uniqueness to it. For $69 it'd be a good choice, it used to be closer to $100.
Ok thanks.
i know this is a bit of a silly question for most. But are those lights usable with wall power? Or are they only able to be battery powered?
They all charge via USB-C or micro USB for the most part, but you can definitely run them on wall power with a standard cable and something like an extra phone wall brick you have laying around :)
@@NewLayer sweet, i need constant light in small spaces since I need lighting for stop motion. Thanks for the answer :D
The FEDs get suspicious LOL.....My wife is getting very suspicious....Another light!!! LOL 😂 I can't wait to open up this weeylite RB9, I am turning into a weeylite fanboy. Great overview dude.
Haha, clearly she works on the inside man. Get out while you still can! LOL
@@NewLayer LOL I am serving a life sentence here.
What's the CRI and lux of Weeylite RB9?
You can see that, and all the numbers from every light I review, here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Weeylite+RB9&light2=Nanlite+LitoLite+5C
Im looking for best pocket light to use as backlight for thumbnail that is better than boling P1. Do you have recommendation?
I use the Nanlite LitoLite 5C a lot for backgrounds because it's brighter than other similarly sized lights, and the silicone diffuser can give the edges a nice soft fall off when needed. Anything with a silicone diffuser should help you get more even coverage on your background. Hope that helps :)
@@NewLayer thanks a lot love ur video by the way! ♥️
@@ryanfajardo4364 Happy to help, thanks for checking it out :)
hi how come no pfy matrix lights? do you like them?
I've never used them, and actually, until now had never heard of them. I'd love to try them out because they look pretty good for the current sale price.
So which one would you say has the best colors
They are all very, very comparable in terms of color accuracy in CCT modes. The YC Onion Pudding isn't the best, so I'd avoid that if that's a high priority for you.
You can compare them all using my tool here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare?light1=Nanlite+LitoLite+5C&light2=Aputure+MC
I'd pay closest attention to the SSI values. 73+ for daylight and 83+ for tungsten are good values.
I am a wedding filmmaker and still learning about lights. I am looking to buy a small and bright Bi-color light but now those RGB lights make me very confused. I don't know which one is the best option for me. I would really appreciate your suggestions.
I did a video on bi-color lights here: ruclips.net/video/vYN5JbfdIpw/видео.html
The best pocket lights for run and gun on-location are the Lupo Smartpanel, which is bi-color, and the newer Lupo Kickasspanel, which has RGB support.
If you don't need the full color support, go bi-color because it'll be brighter, but either way, the Lupo lights are very lightweight and super bright, which I think you'd need for weddings. Hope that helps!
geni.us/luposmartpaneldc
geni.us/lupokickasspanel
@@NewLayer I have already watched your other video. That's very helpful. Thanks
Which one would you say are the most beginner friendly?
They are all very simple to use, but the Nanlite LitoLite 5C is still my first choice for best all around pocket light I think.
Hey, wanted to ask if you have had a chance to share about new RGB pocket lights?))
I've tried some new ones since this video but haven't found one I'd rank over any of these. I am getting a Lupo Kickasspanel, which I expect to be fantastic based on how good the Smartpanel was.
Do you know if the RB9 has a honeycomb soft diffuser available for purchase, like the Onion Pudding one? 😱
Sorry not sure, you'd have to look at the listings, maybe they've changed: geni.us/weeyliterb9
@@NewLayer no worries, thanks so much for getting back to me! 😁
Would be awesome if you mentioned the price
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t because they fluctuate so much. Especially because this video was published around the time when a lot of sales were happening and new lights were coming out.
@@NewLayer ohh that makes sense 👍
@@NewLayer It's a bit more work, but adding the Amazon link will adjust for the cost. And, you can get kickbacks from that.
@@johnwelsh2497 I do have affiliate links in the description for all the lights. I use GeniusLink, which has Amazon, B&H Photo, and/or Adorama all in one, because a lot of people like supporting dedicated photo/video stores over Amazon.
@@NewLayer Good point and thank you for a quick response...
I want them all.
Which one would you say is the brightest?
You can compare them all with my light comparison tool: newlayer.com/compare-lights
Not sure if you were already asked but how does the Godox M1 compare to those lights ?
I've actually never used it, but I think the R1 is exactly the same, just that the M1 is rectangular and has an arm while the R1 is circular and has magnetic abilities.
@@NewLayer I think m1 is 12w so should be more powerful and closer to specs as the bigger lights but wondered if it’s worth the price difference
@@projecthowto Gotcha. The difference between the R1 and M1 will probably be like 1/2 a stop in brightness, so since both are accent lights, it's kind of negligible unless you find yourself using pocket lights at 100% brightness often.
I really like the Nanlite LitoLite 5C because of the focusing lenses. It's way brighter with a tighter beam angle so you can use it at lower power and it lasts longer. I use mine at 3% as a practical with the diffuser, and rarely over 25% in a scene to back light a subject.
@@NewLayer Very Helpful! Thank you very much for the elaborate reply !
I wish you mentioned the prices as you did in the bi color pocket LED video.
I stopped listing prices in some videos because they fluctuate so much, so the info becomes outdated almost immediately.
“guys, I got the pudding... no the light” 😂
At least you'll never forget its name! LOL
@@NewLayer tru
Which is the brightest? Which one have the longest battery light?
For it's size, the Nanlite LitoLite 5C is the brightest because it has focusing lenses in front of the LEDs. Because it's brighter, you can run it at lower powers and get more run time. It's my recommendation if you need a solid, compact, RGB pocket light.
The Luxli Viola also has lenses, but is bigger, more expensive, and uses NP-F batteries instead of an internal one, so it just depends on your needs.
Lighting tutorial please, how to achieve Party lights set up in my music video using tubelights or what? please replyyy
Not a bad idea. I have a product lighting tutorial coming Monday, and more shortly after that.
Thoughts on the Falcon Eyes F7 mini?
That is probably the #1 light I don't have that I wish I did. Sorry I can't give you an answer from personal experience, but from the looks of it, for the cost, it would definitely make the list with its size, grid, diffuser, magnets, etc.
@@NewLayer i have one and really like it. I think its got the strongest magnets of any of the pocket lights i have and I have a bunch (not as many as you tho)
@@AlexMinor Nice, that’s good to hear. Sometimes you need that extra magnetism on some surfaces. I should get some F7 Minis for testing soon!
Curious if you were using any of them to light the wall behind you while shooting this video?
The wall is just lit by spill from my key light. I was using the Lupo Smartpanel as my hair/rim light though. It's not in this video because it's bi-color, but it's amazing: geni.us/luposmartpaneldc
Since this video, they also released an RGB version, the Kickasspanel, which is really, really great as well: geni.us/lupokickasspanel
@@NewLayer Excellent! Thank you... What lights were you using for the blue by the lamps?
@@guitarthink Those were just a cheap LED light strip on the back of my desk. Check out my new studio tour, because in that one, I use a Nanlite Pavotube II 30X for a backround light: ruclips.net/video/RPsunHi2sXE/видео.html Perhaps that will give you some ideas.
Do any of these light have flashing effects?
I think they all do in varying forms. You’d have to look into each one to see exactly what special effect options they have.
The LitoLite 5C and Aputure MC have the best customization options for the budget end.
hi, which one is the brightest?
The ones with focusing lenses are brightest, so the Nanlite LitoLite 5C or the Luxli Viola. The LitoLite 5C is probably the brightest for the size and price as well. Hope that helps :)
@@NewLayer Thank you very much
So which one is the best based on color accuracy, battery life and accessories? and price, which is what we all look for....
I talk about the accessories and main differences of all the lights here for the most part.
You can compare specific lights brightness and color accuracy using my light comparison tool here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare
And in big comparisons like this, I often don't mention price because they change significantly, so I would recommend finding 2-3 lights that are good contenders and compare the lister price and battery life of each. Hope that helps.
Wich led lights is the best and cheapest one in the market considering battery and brightness ? Thank you.
If you're looking for the brightest "cheap" light, then the Nanlite LitoLite 5C would be my choice. It's brighter than all the others of similar size because it has a focusing lens on the front, but is still only around $75 geni.us/nanlitelitolite5c
@@NewLayer I want both lights to be under 70€..... I’m concerned about battery life the most.
@@martinregana5548 I think the LitoLite is the best choice then, because I find it has better battery life than most other similarly sized pocket lights as well!
@@NewLayer awesome but that’s way expensive.
@@martinregana5548 I thought you meant 70€ each, sorry. If you're looking for 70€ total, then the only real options would be the Laofas lights. The fresh is very simple, while the sophomore adds a silicone diffuser and mobile app control.
At that price range, the brightness of whatever you get will essentially be the same no matter what.
The Luxi app is amazing maybe better than Sidus link. Their lights I've found to be hot garage though and break to a stiff breeze.
Hahaha. The only experience I have is with my Viola, which may not be as good as some, but is better than others. I don't see it breaking on me, but I do treat my gear pretty carefully. I'll make an update if it (or any others) fail me any time soon.
@@NewLayer I had 3x Celios. All 3 where kept in foam and babied when in use. Each one failed/shorted out at under 10 hours of use. Luxli replaced 2 of them, refused to replace the 3rd. Out of the replaced 2, one failed again and they wouldn't replace it. I sold the other and am stuck with a $350 (what I paid for it) paper weight.
@@jeremyapplebaum Woah! That is super bad. I wonder what the defect was.
@@NewLayer I don't know. It really is a shame because I want to like their lights. I think they could be really big but they've lost me forever as a customer.
Which of these lights is brightest?
The brightest small light would be the Nanlite LitoLite 5C because it has focusing lenses on the front. The same thing goes for the Luxli Viola, but it's also way bigger, and overall probably the brightest.
The Falconeyes F7 Fold is also bright because it's much bigger, and double panel, but doesn't have focusing lenses so has a wider spread.
You can compare them all here: newlayer.com/gear/lights/compare
Is the IVISII G2 made by Pixel? It literally said Pixel on the screen when you turned it on. I have the Pixel G1 but they discontinued it. I wonder if this is just a rebrand pixel pocket light 🤔
Yes IVISII is a Pixel brand, but not just re-branded identical products (at least in this case). It's a new product, and I have found a lot of the IVISII items to have exceptionally good light quality.
@@NewLayer very nice! I love my pixel g1 was looking to pickup another but couldn't find one. Great video man!
@@JamesDBuzzard Thanks, glad you liked it :)
Are they making any noise??
Nope, none of these lights use fans for cooling and are 100% silent.
hello,how can i contact you about sharing product?~
Instagram @newlayercom or newlayer.com/contact
What about the Pixel G1S?
The Pixel G1S is not a bad light at all, the IVISII G2 (also made by Pixel) is just better in my opinion. The IVISII G2 is basically a newer, more refined G1S. It's also on sale for $10 less right now and comes with the mini tripod. I hope that helps :)
@@NewLayer I can’t seem to be able to find it in the UK, but I found the G1S for £57 (basically $57) which seems like insane value, so ordered that :)
@@DigiDriftZone For sure! You should definitely have no guilt over that purchase :)
Ordered 2 5c’s and 2 6c’s.
Nice! Thanks for the support. You can do a ton with those 4 lights :)
Wish you had List the pricing
I thought about it but they all change so drastically that it would've been wrong the majority of the time. Typically I talk about pricing, but when there's this many products and they adjust frequently, it's hard.
Just bought the Weeylite and it’s the worst. I fully charged and used it for 1 hour and it died. It’s supposed to be 120 hours, smh. On top of that. Only certain cords and blocks work to charge it for some reason and it takes far longer than 3 hours to charge. It is magnificently bright and the app was a nice gesture but I’m returning this PoS.
Dang, sorry to hear. I assume you mean 120 minutes, not 120 hours, but either way getting half the intended duration isn't good. Along with the charging issues, sounds like a case of a bad unit slipping through quality control.
Gotta ask: best budget/value light? Features vs. output vs. price with $50 being the sweet spot. I appreciate companies getting as much as they can for their products but these type of lights are still a novelty and over priced in my opinion, based on buying the VL150 for $299 a couple weeks ago.
If you just need a basic light to add some color without all the bells and whistles, the Laofas Rainbow Fresh is unbeatable at just $39. And if you want a silicone diffuser and mobile app control the Laofas Rainbow Sophomore is the cheapest light with mobile app control you can buy. Each other light has something else unique about it, so it just depends on your priorities, but if it's just to get something cheap that works, the Rainbow Fresh is great light quality without all the frills.
onion pudding light....goodnees.
Don't forget about their brownie pocket light, toast LED panel, hotdog slider (with bun motorized addon), and more, haha.
🙏🏾
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the support :)
How come you left out the Boling P1?
I've never used it so I can't speak from experience, but just looking at the specs, it's very overpriced at $139 Vs. something like the IVISII G2 which does everything that light does and more for half the cost.
Any small RUclipsr out there we got to stick together 👨👩👧👧
I agree with you bro♥️
I just supported you
That right adams Marro🤔
That so right ‼️
🙏we are strong together 👨👩👧👧
I just supported u Adams marro
Even if it had the best features, I just don't think I could pull the trigger on something called "onion pudding"... Translation can be a tricky thing. Last time I was in China I ate at a restaurant with the off-putting name of "Butt Fly Goodness". YUM!
Hahaha! There are definitely some funky brand/product names out there. I want to know why YC stands for...
Some of these lights look pretty useful, then I seen a couple prices, oof.
Some can definitely get pricey, but others like the Laofas brand ones are pretty darn cheap for what they do!
My issue with these lights is if you use them any where ,but a studio they break they go bad very bad they are not designed to take with you outside!!! I have really tried them all, and every time they just go bad and I take great care of my stuff. Also the warranty is voided if you buy on amazon. it has to be bought from the manufacturer website. if you get one of these lights on amazon by the asurion for five dollars its worth it.
Which ones have broken on you? Out of the hundreds I've had, only 1 has ever gone bad. I can imagine a lot of the cheaper, not big brand ones have a higher failure rate, so I'm curious of your experience.
In your experience, which brands don't offer a warranty on new products when bought through Amazon?
@@NewLayer every pocket lite product i have both the f7 and the f7 2 also the flip and they all go bad and when you try to get a warranty done they refuse to warranty it because it was bought not from them directly it also states it on there website. thankfully i’m like you and i get stuff sent to me for free or i would be very upset. I also only film outside and when you take these things apart everything is exposed so if it’s to humid or cold out it’s done for. i’m going to try godox m1 next but i just hope they aren’t built the same way f7’s are where all the wires are exposed to the elements. is there any of them that are built to film outside a studio ?
@@AbandonedwithBizzy Ah yes, FalconEyes is weird because their Chinese company and American company are not related or connected, so if you buy a product from them on Amazon, or somewhere else, the US company can't warranty the Chinese direct products. It's pretty weird.
I can't think of any specific ones off the top of my head that are meant to withstand inclement weather like high humidity, so I can understand your frustration.
There are definitely ones that have no exposed wires or vent holes, but who knows how well seal the buttons/wheels/etc are.
@@NewLayer Thank you for actually responding to me I know you get a million comments a day!! I think I will just add the asurion warranty amazon sells so if it just goes bad again I should be covered. keep up the great videos im a huge fan!
4 people were born in darkness...molded by it.
😂 😂 😂
me sitting here trying to just pick one...
When it doubt, buy all 10! LOL
New Layer haha funny
I used an Ivisii G2 here to create a brilliant separation between clips in this multi screen! ruclips.net/video/4OL_CnME_T8/видео.html
hmm just who are buying these??
Content creators, RUclipsrs, and filmmakers are the main audience, but also photographers, people who want fun lighting for parties, etc.
So of the options that have apps, do the apps allow you to control each light individually if you have more than one? Or do the apps only allow you to control the group of lights? So in other words, are you able to make one light orange and another light blue using the app? Thanks!
Yes, all the app controlled lights can control multiple lights individually, or you can group them together to control more than 1 at the same time :)
