About this deal

It is possible to wirelessly control one or multiple LED panels at a time. This saves a lot of time when you need to configure or adjust the light on multiple panels. Gone are the days where you need to walk up to each panel and adjust the knobs. You can set the panels to the color temperature of daylight (5600 kelvins), that of a tungsten light bulb (3200 kelvins), or anything in between. This range gives you fine control over the mood and atmosphere of your shots. The hanging adapter pulls on the power plug and might cause it to wear out faster. If this is of concern to you, you can always tape or velcro the adapter to the stand itself.

The brightness can be adjusted from 0 to 100% in steps of 10%. In practice, this is more than enough resolution and it is unlikely that you will need finer control. These are the camera settings I use and as you can see they are all mostly the cameras defaults. I do use a tripod or a monopod most of the time and I think that is why I get pretty good IQ, but it looks like some of the other P600 users do very good hand held.o Even on a tripod at max zoom you may get camera shake, If time permits I use the 2 sec self-timer The light stand is made of corrosion-resistant metal, giving this light stand exceptional strength for heavy-duty work, and pretty sturdy for your shooting. Systems Requirements- This 2.4G transmitter is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 10, and macOS 10.14 and later. After being installed, the transmitter can control NEEWER P16/SRP18/P200-2.4G/P280-2.4G/P600-2.4G/RP18H/T140/NL660-2.4G / NL480-2.4G/NL1920-2.4G/NL1320-2.4G/CL124-2.4G LED Video Light and more The most important thing in any LED lighting kit is undoubtedly the LED panels themselves. The panels in the Neewer bi-color 660 LED lighting kit come with (you guessed it) 660 LEDs. Half of them in warm white and the other half with a cooler daylight color temperature. When using a diffuser there is always some light loss. If brightness is your goal, you are better off leaving them out.

Most notably, the stands receive a lot of criticism for being wobbly. There is definitely truth to that. The stands are indeed wobbly, especially when they are extended all the way up to their maximum height of 2 meters (79 inches). When adjusting the settings, the LCD screen lights up. So even when you use the LED panel in dark environments the settings are easy to read. A 96 CRI is great, but it is a good idea to take the claims of these Chinese products with a grain of salt. From what I am able to see with the naked eye, however, the color reproduction of these lights is more than satisfactory. So if you are a photographer, videographer, or artist who values accurate colors, these lights have you covered. The 2.4G kit does not have any batteries included, so if you want this functionality you will have to buy them separately. The NP-F series batteries are standard Sony batteries, so if you happen to already use Sony gear with these batteries then you can use those instead.

Adding light in the right places is easy, but removing it from the places you don’t want it to be can be challenging. This is where the included barndoors come in. Adjusting their angle lets you control the light better, creating shadows or preventing light from reflecting into the camera lens. All in all, the Neewer 2.4G 660 LED lighting kit is a versatile kit that provides a lot of value for its price. While it is not perfect (especially the stands), we highly recommended it to anyone who needs lots of light for photography, video, or streaming and does not have the budget to invest in high-end photography lighting. Color temperature is a measure of how warm (red/yellow hues) or cool (bluish hues) light is. It is measured in degrees Kelvin. These two different sets of LEDs let you mix the exact color temperature you want.

One of the weaker points of the Neewer 660 LED video light kit, and the one that receives the most complaints, is the stands that come with it.Wireless Remote Control can easily adjust brightness, Channel, and color temperature from within 20 meters distance. Designed with 11 channels (1-10 Channel and "88" Channel) and with the remote control, this light allows you to control one 660 light or control multiple 660 lights at the same time by setting the channel No. of the remote as "88" to achieve more creative work. In addition, the LED panels have a claimed CRI (color rendering index) of 96+. CRI is measured on a scale of 0 to 100 percent and indicates how accurately a light source can reproduce natural light. The higher the CRI, the more natural the colors of illuminated subjects look. The panels themselves operate without a fan and are completely silent. This gives them an advantage over actively cooled panels. These can be a nuisance when shooting videos, for example. The Neewer 660 kit is a better choice if you work in situations where low noise levels are important. The claimed power usage of the LED panels is 40W. We measured the overall maximum power usage at 44W. This was with the brightness at 100% nd the color temperature at 4400K. If you want to have maximum brightness from the lamps, these are the settings to go for. Note that the non-2.4G version of this kit does not comes with an LCD screen. If you want to make use of the LCD (and remote) functionality, the 2.4G kit is the option to choose.

Each panel comes with a removable white diffuser. You can add the diffuser to create softer light. This is especially useful when you want to avoid harsh shadows on your subjects, for example when you are doing portrait work. The claimed range on the remote is 20 meters (~66 feet). We found it to be about 14 meters indoors with a concrete wall in between, so 20 meters in open air sounds about right.o I leave mine on at all times, it says to turn it off if you’re using a tripod but I don’t see any difference. The control panel comes with an LCD screen that displays the current color temperature and brightness. This comes in handy when you want to set the color temperature in your camera settings or Lightroom later on.
