So, did you use it for desktop video? I don't have space for my two soft boxes anymore, so I'm looking into something more compact. Not sure it's enough light and not sure I can get them close enough. What do you think?
When I bought it, came in and I was hyped, but the brightness feature is messed up. You get to around 75% brightness then it has a sudden big drop in brightness. Which makes no sense because it’s supposed to be brighter (goes up to 100). Just janky, not worth $60. Remote buttons are cheap too. Also the plug for the light is so short you need an extension cord because it won’t work without the cord.
Might just be your particular light. Mine is good. It's definitely not the brightest light like the Elgato Key Light or Key Light Air, but it's good for the price, especially as a fill light. I agree the USB cord isn't very long, but in my desktop situation it works.

I love the magnet on the remote. Such a simple feature but I'm ALWAYS losing my remotes!
It is super handy!
No demo of what you look like with the light on you?

what about the battery to make it portable
Great idea! The power cord is just a USB-A end, so you could plug it into a portable USB power bank and make it totally portable.
