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 LED panels included lighting stand is also fully variable and can have its highest adjusted from 26 inches up to 75 inches too allowing you to further tweak the performance of the light to meet your needs. The 40W power range is ideal for the majority of studio-based photography niches making it the ideal addition to your collection of camera accessories. On a more positive note: the stand is easily adjusted and does not take up a lot of space when fully retracted. As you probably know, the Neewer 660 lighting panel is an extremely popular lighting solution within the community with one of the best reputations going at the time of writing. This is due to its excellent performance, its solid build quality, it easy control system, and it’s very fair price tag. 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.
Answer – This is actually common practice in this day and age as it adjusts the light output to Tungsten 3200K while also offering better customization of the lights output capabilities by being able to play the White and Yellow light off against each other. 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.Consist of 660pcs SMD LED beads (170pcscool/170pcs warm/320pcs RGB beads), Bi-color can adjust the color temperature from 3200K to 5600K, RGB can adjust the hue output from 0°to 360° and color saturation from 0% to 100% 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. The barn door style panels on the light can also be easily folded into position to get the effect you want out of the light too. One the flip side of this, they also act as a layer of protection if you are transporting your 660 to a new location when closed over the main LED panel. The actual LEDs are mounted in place securely and we have not been able to find a single report from anyone using the Neewer 660 saying that they have had an issue with their LEDs falling out of place or becoming lose over time.
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). You are also able to mount the 660 on third-party stands, the ground, a desk if needed. On top of this, there are a ton of additional third-party adaptors and connectors for the mounting system available to allow you to mount the light on pretty much anything you can imagine. Although these adaptors are probably not required if you are planning on using the Neewer 660 for studio based photography as you will have decent equipment with you, if you plan to use the light outdoors or on location then they can be great to help you get the lights mounted. 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.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. Sturdy & Stable Stand- The light stands are adjustable from 3ft/0.9m to 6.5ft/2m in height. Strong enough to hold the panel lights yet compact enough to take on the go. It’s also easy to set up and use.
The video lights beam spread can also be manipulated as required via the barn door covers on the lamp to allow you to target the beam to your subject for optimal lighting. The included light diffuser can then be used to soften the light as required to ensure that the lighting of your subject is as optimal as possible to help reduce any post-production editing required for your session. We just wanted to get that out the way at the start of the review as although we are always fair when reviewing a product, this review will end up being overly positive as there are no real negative points on the Neewer 660. We feel that this is why it has become the go-to lighting solution for so many people in such a short amount of time while also managing to earn and maintain the excellent reputation that it enjoys today. The lightweight of the Neewer 660 also makes it ideal for use as a video light too and although the majority of owners do seem to be based around various photography niches, the 660 seems to also hold a great reputation amongst videographers too. The battery life depends on the energy capacity of the batteries used. People report about 1 hour of use with a 6300mAh NP-F970 Li-ion battery with the panel at full power. Using a second battery and/or running the lights at a lower brightness will increase battery life further.The panels are also relatively compact and lightweight. This makes them easy to store and transport. Diffuser As we mentioned earlier in the article, the LED bulbs in the lighting unit are great quality and have modern technology to ensure that they will last you for many years to come even with excessive daily usage. In addition to this, they have been placed securely and do a great job of staying in place to keep optimal initial light distribution. LED BULBS- With 330 White and 330 Yellow LED long-lasting bulbs, this light illuminates a variable white balance from Tungsten-Daylight from 3200 to 5600K
