Strong light with slight weakness

The light is processed very good for its price, you get elsewhere for considerably more money often nothing better. The IR remote control is an excellent extra (supplied) when you work with a tripod. The light output can be described as an already very strong for an LED Lechte in this class. At full power, approximately 1 / 125s result at f 2.8 and ISO1600 for a distance of approximately 3m. Even in daylight you can still see a significant brightening up aperture of 5.6 (1 / 100s & ISO100), only about practically nothing left to see the additional light.
The color temperature is relatively accurately at the specified values ​​or even a bit more in the warmer area, and it is also a green tint available. The spectrum is rather shifted slightly toward magenta, which is rather positive for their skin tones. If both sets of LEDs active results in a pleasantly warm mixed light (about 4,000 Kelvin). Here then lies the reason for the slight devaluation: The LED groups can only be separated from each other rules, which means that with every change of brightness Also the color temperature changes when you have both active groups. If you want to avoid this, you only have the option to use the groups individually, and you also lose half of the light output. The settings will remain, however, get turned on or off and even after changing the battery. My advice: If you switch often from daylight into artificial light, regulates it only 5500K LEDs up and down, and when changing from daylight in de shadows, only the 3200. So you get most conducive to environment matching color temperatures and light intensities. Half power, the light is actually still brighter than many others, and faster and more accurate than filtering it goes. Two controllers, one for brightness and one for color temperature, nevertheless would be much better and that's why only 4 stars. If you want to combine several luminaires, should definitely take the YN-300 5500 300 LEDs!

For Accessories: The supplied battery lasts a long time, as indicated approximately 2 hours at full power. But worth it anyway to have a second battery or at least one battery adapter in reserve, because the charger needs almost a whole day to load the rechargeable battery fully.
The barn doors are to use rather than transport protection, but that is all surface lights that. After all you can so that the light from the camera shielding something out.
The filter can be changed easily contained and are quite usable.
The replaceable holders are fairly decent but not extremely robust. However, under normal treatment, they should last.

One last tip: The lamp should never be transported with infected battery last longer, because, firstly, this stands out very far and so the holder could be damaged, and secondly, the light can be easily switched by pressing the knob and then the battery is maintenance already all when you arrive.

Conclusion: A very good and very bright LED light, unrivaled for the price at the moment but with an annoying weakness with which you can live, but not have to if the manufacturer would have been more thorough. Buy recommendation for all who want to use only one light, otherwise rather the YN-300.
