it should come on in the last setting
that i had before
[Music]
what do you think did you like it did
you like it
smell it come here
you excited i think he likes it
these are so much fun and so useful as
well if you're making videos and have a
small studio or using a room in your
house to make videos
this light is perfect for you especially
with the winter months coming
which means we're gonna get a lot less
hours of natural light so
any extra lighting will be really
helpful for for you to light up your
space
and because they're so affordable for me
they become a bit of a no-brainer
normally when i'm filming in my office
here in this space
i don't use my philips hue lights which
they could do the job
to add a little bit more color but they
just don't give off a nice light
the philips hue for example are cool for
ambient light or watching movies and
stuff like that but
not really great for filming anything
this aputure b7c is actually bright
enough now that even just one of them
plugging into the normal fitting
is is enough for me in a small space to
have enough light to decent lighting as
well
on top of me to film my videos and in
addition to that
i can have some fun with the colors as
well so because
you can control this through an app
which i'll talk to you in a bit
it becomes very very flexible for you
for your creativity whatever color
whatever
effect that you you can add to this you
can use that in your space
one slight problem i've got with this is
this e27
uh screw let me see if i can zoom in for
you
as you can see it's not something that
will fit in every single light fitting
that you've got in the house
it is common in a lot of uh lamp shades
and things like that
but in most new houses you'll get a
different type of plug which
which is the b22 not a major issue
because you can get very cheap
adapters like these adapt from b22
to 27
they're only two maybe three pounds on
amazon so
i hope that's okay it is not a
comparison video but the philips
do sell the same bulbs with different
fittings so
come on aperture sort it out there are
dozens of videos
and long explanations about how to make
the switch between
battery mode and plugged in mode which
is a really good feature of these lights
i'll keep it very simple for you okay
there's only one thing you got to do
the three buttons there's a power button
plus and a minus all you have to do is
press
the three of them at the same time now
that just made a switch
from a battery run mode to a plugged in
mode so that you have to now
unscrew into the power to make it work
so if i was to press the power button
now
nothing would happen and if i press it
again the three buttons
it tells me now that it's now running on
battery so now that it's in battery mode
i can just press it
and it goes back to the last setting i
had in my case here
i had it in party mode which changes the
colors
um in in a speed that you can set
through the app as well
so yeah so it's a really good a good
flexible option here as well as you can
see you can change from running on
battery
or running directly connected to to the
mains so that gives you lots of
opportunities to use this light in your
set
in you know getting your subject to
interact with the light sometimes just
as i'll do with this one
just using the normal light switch i was
able to turn it on and off
and if i was to remove that from the
from the from the fitting
i would have that still running on
battery which is really really good and
gives you lots of ideas to
to do some fun stuff with it so that
will be really useful when you're using
like i just did in
a practical light situation in your
scene and that's really cool because
that's not something you can do
with the mc light which i also got in
the background as well at the top
lighting up my scene there so i can't
really interact with those in the same
way
talking about the mc lights let's talk
about the siders link app which is the
app that you use
to control your light if you've got any
other aperture lights the mcs or the
bigger
120d any lights that aperture provide
will give you the ability to control the
light in the scene and set
configurations group them together so
you can create different scenes using
the app like i've just done here in my
office for example i've got a bit of
teal and orange
combined at the back there so we've got
these
in addition to the mc lights and i've
combined them to one provide
till and the other group to provide
orange for example
and what about all the cool effects that
you can have this bulb gives you so many
options when you're trying to light up a
scene
you can have police car you can have
different like fireworks and stuff
oh looks like i've got a faulty bow over
here one second guys
that's just an effect from from aperture
using the app so
as you can see lots of options it gives
you for
for for lighting up your scene as i said
there's plenty of different
effects like this one for example where
you might want to have a fireplace scene
but without the fire
add the b7c and some sound effects and
that's it
that's really cool or you could try
something creepy for halloween
[Music]
stepping out is
[Music]
i want to
[Music]
old times
[Music]
a lot of options for you to configure
your space and your lighting your
effects
the way you want in in a couple of
clicks and you get to the scene that you
want the color that you want
for your shot that's really cool the
possibilities are endless
when it comes to that in summary if
you're looking for ways to spice up your
studio and your video scenes with
different
types of lights effects colors this is a
great tool to add to your belt this is
really fantastic i'm i'm really
over the moon with this because some of
the big lights for for video making
are quite expensive they're hundreds and
hundreds of dollars or hundreds of
pounds so for the for the price that you
can get these for now you can get them
for under 80
or about in the uk under 80 pounds
really really
affordable option and the shape of the
um of
this cover here they've got they
actually serve two purposes one is for
dissipation of heat so they've got um
right in the middle there
a really cool way of letting heat out
which is great so they don't have a fan
which means again for video making
fantastic right you don't have any extra
noise in your room
to to to run your scene um they do get a
little bit warm
after about i don't know 40 minutes 50
minutes in a video like this
uh probably i won't feel it but if you
do a longer
use of over an hour they will get a
little bit
hot to the touch but nothing that you
can't you can't handle like a
like a normal light so really not a
problem at all
they managed to create the this design
the shape here
to be able to to let heat go
quite quite easily so really nice design
there
and most importantly you won't damage
the the internal
uh chips and things like that that's
inside it because that because the
ability to
get rid of the heat from from these
openings really good really good design
for general consumption just as
led bulbs i think it's probably overkill
because given the price in comparison to
something like
philips hues or other types of led
lights that you can get
they're probably a bit overkill for that
but these lights can really help you in
adding
lovely touches to color and practical
background lighting just like i just
have it there that's the main point of
it i think it is for
filmmaking adding a little bit of
different options for you to create
lighting
different background and use of
practical light in your scene
so that's that's that's me that's the
main reason for it doesn't stop
uh a general consumer buying this and
using them as a normal light but
i think it's a bit overkill for that
