as you guys can see my face is lit am i trying to pay myself a compliment no I'm
talking about photons and those photons are brought to you by Fotowelt, Fotowelt got me
this is beautiful LED studio light and I'm more than thrilled with it and I'm
gonna talk to you about some of the amazing features it contains but I have
to leave my office for that because I tried filming this review already and it
was it was terrible and it was terrible because the lights were off because I
was showing you the back end of it and it was too dark in here to show you the
features so case made the light is helpful so let's take this to a
hopefully brighter room and show you because outside it's a miss dark and
murky and little yeah so let's say let's take this is the
other room okay so I'm in a little bit better light now I have to literally sit
in your window that's how dark it is SM literally this is the line isn't it
pretty so on the front panel you'll see that
there are quite a few LEDs that are heard right now there are various
brightness settings on it but they do not change color on themselves but I'll
get you in a second about why it's still bicolor even though that the LEDs have
one color but let's first talk about the rest of the front so in it we have these
that plucked down actually they have a specific orbit so
we go with these ones first there we go those close up there and makes it a
little easier to store it protects the LEDs and the shutters or reflectors as
they're called in the manual also helped shape the light now let's close those
back up for a second and then go to the back now on the back of the
panel you'll notice that there are two slots for actually batteries now there
the LEDs six60 a pro batteries that go from there and they do not come with it
you can buy a kit that does harder this is the cheapest model it just comes with
the DC connector but the one that the battery option is pretty awesome if you
want to take your studio to go or if you are going to be filming at or taking
pictures at a wedding and you need additional lighting in the corners and
are no outlets being able to have batteries that you just pop in it is
extremely useful to have on this type of lighting system and since their LEDs
they're a little more power efficient and should run for a little while and if
you want to check the LED battery life if you want to check the battery life on
those there is a screen indicator that will always display the battery life at
that time so it's very differently this looks like a batteries or what you have
in the back here is the main dial which helps adjust the lighting strength which
is very slow but in a good way because it means that you can really fine-tune
the life to the point that you like so you keep cranking it until it's 41 but
if you want to skip that one with a little faster this button jumps the
increments of 25% so that you can boost the lighting a lot quicker and have it
where you wanted to be now one of the coolest features about this studio light
is the fact that it can be paired wirelessly with other studio lights on
the same kind so say you buy five of these and set them up all around your
studio you can set them to the same channel and you do you don't need a
remote or anything like that they're all connected
and if you change the setting on one of these lines if they're all on the same
channel they will all change to the exact setting that you just switched
them the brightness and all that which is pretty awesome it doesn't mean you
have to go running around changing all of the manuals so that is a very sweet
feature again I only have one so I don't get to really showcase that but that is
the thing now the other advantage of that is that you can have some lights on
one channel and some lights on the other and if you're trying to create a cool
light or distant light or whatever you can adjust those on this channel and it
will create you're lighting it back-to-back which also appears realness
okay and the back we have the power switch so on the full lips which is the
DC power that's from wired power in the middle that is the opposition and then
all the way to the right is for battery only so if you think you've turned it on
without looking and you hit the battery and something's wrong and you're
complaining that it's not fun okay so back to the color why is it by color
okay well one thing you may not have known is that it comes with this really
sturdy and nice nylon case which holds everything very well in it and there's
perhaps you have a shoulder strap too if you want to like it that way we can do
that so in if you have these filters one of these filters do I'll show you in a
second just looking the rest so you have your manual which I do recommend looking
over and then you can see everything fits in the cutouts of the foam pretty
cool so let's put the case down this goes on top the covers okay so the
filters
were confused so this doesn't change the color per se of the LEDs but it helps to
fuse them so I wouldn't make a bright that doesn't hurt your face it keeps
things from being a little harder and I think in a studio setting where you can
change and shake the lights a little bit more and that things have the visible
effect things more but when I have it that close to my face in my office it
doesn't change things too much except for the fact that I don't have
blazing LEDs directly in my face through diffusible bit so it makes a little
easier to look at the camera without being blinded this this changes things
this is a warming filter and it kind of mimics tungsten lighting and it does a
very good job of it I'll show an example right there yeah look at me there we go
this creates a really nice warm filter so if you want it to look like a more
natural setting if you want it to look like you know home lights instead of a
studio lights or bright white lights that's a good way to do it then there's
a few reasons why you'd want to do that and I'm sure you will figure it out if
I'm sure if you're looking for this sort of thing then you already know it so it
does have filters if you're thinking that the LEDs change themselves they
don't they tinge of brightness and they do get extremely bright filters so your
filters that must be a huge hassle well no they're not and I'll show you why so
inside of the lamp you'll see that the four corners have these metal tabs and
that the corners of these have magnets so what you do is you just slip them in
and they fall into place and it's connected
that is actually in there so it makes that pretty simple and then they have
little hole tabs that you can just kind of pull them out so they make that very
easy there's no real hassle when it comes to it you can do it with one hand
holding it right and so no complaints there you essentially get other filters
if you desire and that would fit in here but I tell them that works so for the
price I'd say that they are indeed a good buy if you're trying to amp up your
YouTube videos or you're trying to be a better videographer photographer but
your noticed that a lot of lighting and this doesn't have what you want your
when you're paying less you typically get less features but being able to
wirelessly control these have batteries them to be that bright conveniently
coming with a case and all that the price really includes a lot with this
lighting system so I'm I'm incredibly happy
I hate will if my office does get bigger or if I have to move locations or if I
do more videography I will be picking up more of these specifically to help step
up my game and they definitely do that so they get my wholehearted
recommendation so if you want to pick up some of these I will place their
variants in the description below that show you the different types that you
can get the multi LAN systems or some with an actual boom pool because I
didn't get that it does come with a mounting bracket for a boom or any
tripod not just the typical camera tripod but any lamp tripods the one I
got was the cheapest one and it did that but for a few dollars more I could
have gotten that but I had a pool in my room so I just mounted it to that no
take a couple bucks but for most cases you'll probably want to get a stand for
it so those are my thoughts on the photo well name system you let me know what
you think in the comments below alright guys I'll see you in the next one
