Since I'm doing more Zoom meetings now (Thanks Covid!!!) I decided I needed a little extra light to just make my on screen appearance a little bit better and look a little more professional.
I found this little Godox LED and since I really like Godox stuff, decided to give it a bash.
First impressions is that it's very light, plasticky and I wasn't sure if it would be bright enough. Thankfully it is bright enough even though I have to have it on full power. The diffusion cap is a nice add since without, the light looks very hard.
I also like the fact it is cheap and if it isn't bright enough, you can daisy chain more on since there are grooves in the side to allow you to bolt more LED6Bi's on. Albeit you have to turn each one on/off manually which is a pain. But hey! what do you expect at this price!?!?
Battery life is excellent and I forgot I had the light on after a Zoom call once and only noticed it was still working about an hour later!
USB-C charging is a nice touch.
You can change the colour temperatue from daylight 5500k to tungsten 3300K. Sadly, there's no LCD display so you're pretty much having to eyeball what is the correct temp. Not an issue for the odd Zoom call but I wouldn't want to use this in a photographic/video environment where things like this would matter. Then I wouldn't be spending this money either!
At the end of the day, this is a cheap & cheerful LED light that delivers basic functionality and does that well. As long as you aren't expecting moon on a stick for pocket money prices then you wont be disappointed.
