I like I can hide it behind a model or product without power cables. It has all the usual color variants you expect from LEDs. It is lightweight yet very well made. The shade is aluminum.

This light want is perfect for traveling with...easy to pack and doesn't take up room like my ring light or umbrella light stands. Even comes with a bracket to mount to a tripod to be able to tilt it (it will mount to any tripod already, but only straight...the bracket allows for tilt to get the right angle).Easy to adjust the color and intensity.The portability of this is a game changer for if I want to capture something while traveling, but don't quite have the right light setup.

I give this more of a 4.5 than a 5 because I think it's expensive for its battery size and two of the colors don't look as good as they should. The whole top row is also wrong if you go by the remote buttons, it is white lights in warm, neutral, and cool. The instruction pamphlet mentions 3200K to 5600K, which I'm assuming is in reference to these white lights, making the middle 4400K? There is no true yellow option as the red-green button gives you a yellowish olive green color, more green than yellow. The remote buttons are RGB additive, so keep that in mind. Magenta is a little not magenta enough for me, looks a bit low in saturation. Cyan is absolutely beautiful. Red, Green, and Blue are all deep, vibrant and true. I think this needs an upgrade to make yellow and magenta more accurate. Then add orange, pink, and brown. It has twelve modes of brightness yet for all nine colors, but I'd rather have twelve colors with nine modes of brightness, or twelve and twelve. Unlike some other LED devices that change color, there are no fade, jump, and strobe modes. Those modes would be kind of cool I guess for videos but this wand is made for photography lighting, it is not a Christmas light saber. Speaking of which though, it is very lightweight and feels slightly warm after a long time. I wish it had more power though, since it is a hair dimmer than what I expected out of it, but that could be due to the diffuser panel they used in this, which distributes the light in a long smooth area. The size feels okay, but I'd rather it be 1" longer and give it a bigger battery so the handle weighs more. The end has a hand strap you tie on and there is a screw mount to attach this item onto tripods. Overall, it is a very cool wand and has great potential for long exposure shots and light painting. The controls seem okay but I think the wand handle should use two dials instead to quickly swipe between color and brightness with the thumb moving right-to-left, although up-and-down could work too. The three buttons is easy enough though. It's overall made simple as if intended to be waterproof, even the charge input has a rubber cover, so I think it was a huge mistake to not make this item rain safe. Just imagine the photographs this could make in the rain or a water fountain. It's almost watertight as it is. I would run a line of superglue over mine but I don't know if the joint gaps are designed to be ventilation so I'd better not. The instructions also say not to use the light while charging the battery, because this can reduce the battery life through overheating the charge area, which is strange for a rechargeable device so I’ll have to try and remember this. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining though, just pointing out what could've done better, as I really like this wand and glad to have a color changing strip of light as an option instead of a spot or ring. Using this product is going to be very cool for all sorts of photography uses, especially portraits and products. I may upload a picture later since I should show what all the colors really look like.The carrying bag is also very nice too, thick and stiff. The additional tripod mount is great quality and useful for maneuvering the wand. Thanks to the mount, I can add it onto my tripod’s quick-release plate and can now change my camera battery and SD card without having to remove my camera.
