Neewer Upgraded 660 LED Light Product Review
Hello filmmakers and welcome to Film It Yourself! It can be hard to find affordable filmmaking lights, so that's why I wanted to bring you this Neewer Upgraded 660 LED light panel product review.
Now I'm a huge Neewer fan because they make good quality products that are actually affordable and sometimes even cheap, which is great, and this is no exception to the rule. This Neewer upgraded bi-color light panel is great because of it's bi-color ability allowing you to dial in color tempter to exactly what you need. It's easy to read LCD screen helps you match all of your lights down to the exact kelvin as well as offering the ability to dim the 660 LED lights in the panel.
And it also has a built in diffusion, which is great because LED lights in general are very hard and not very flattering. This built in diffusion helps to soften the light and makes it much more flattering. It also comes with metal barn doors, which are detachable. I love that they're metal because it makes them very durable, verses making them out of plastic. In fact, the whole Neewer LED panel is made out of lightweight metal, which is great because it can take a little bit of a beating, which happens sometimes when you're shooting on set or lugging equipment around.
It also has the ability to run on battery, with two battery slots on the back. If you're shooting outside, this is great so you don't have to worry about power. Just make sure that you have enough batteries.
Another thing that I really like about this light is that it comes with an awesome lightweight carrying case from Neewer. Inside, it has a pocket for your cords and a nice foam protective padding for your lights. I've boughten lights before that didn't come with a carrying case, which is a huge bummer when you're trying to move lights around and you don't have a case for them. Or if you're just trying to find a case for the light after the fact, it can be really hard to find something that fits the right dimensions you're looking for. So the fact that these Neewer upgraded 660 led film lights comes with a case is a huge plus!
One con I will say about these lights is that they're not quite as bright as I would've liked them to be, but I think that's because 330 of the LEDs are daylights while 330 of are tungsten. So at one given time you're really only getting the power of 330 LED lights total, which is why it's not quite as bright as I would've liked, but they're so cheap that you can just get multiple to fill out your whole scene. I often use two of them along with my two other affordable LED lights to fill out a whole scene. I find the Neewer upgraded 660 lights work really great for a hair light or if you need to fill out a background.
Neewer offers them without a light stand, but I would highly recommend buying them with one as Neewer actually makes really great quality light stands as well. So I think it's a great package if you can get it all together.
So to conclude, all in all these great features and cheap price point make the Neewer led 660 affordable lighting for youtube videos or for films.
