GVM RGB LED Video Light,800D Studio Light with APP Control Lighting Kit Photography Light 1 Pack with 8 Kinds of The Scene Lights, 3200-5600K CRI 97 LED Panel Light for YouTube Studio, Video, Portrait

Recently in the media world, I have seen these in use. Well, these light been in use for a long time but more trending. So i decided to get these. This RGB light adds tone to an object as well as normal lighting too. Starting from the packaging, this is the first time i bought from GVM. I am surprised by the quality of the packaging. Each item has its bag, silk-like the bag. The whole set comes in a box, inside is a carrying case that holds the stand, DC adapters, and light itself. Inside the carrying case, the stand and light have its carrying bag, as mentioned before. Compared to the photos these are small lights, approx 20-25cm in height and length. I thought these would be bigger. In terms of build quality, the lights are built from metal framing, not plastic. They also don't feel cheap. the light produced from these is also not too harsh, create colour. However, the stand seems to be a higher quality stand then the video light i bought previously. it should be for the cost i paid for these lights. This light either uses SONY's "NP-F" series battery which i had lucky. This is great for outdoor shooting. Or laptop 15V DC connection. When using "NP-F", 2 batteries will be required to power the lights. I tried 1, but failed to turn on, most likely due to voltage shortage. (See photo) During testing, I was able to make one of the lights a MASTER and the other "Slave. I was able to control both lights simultaneously using the app too. (See video) The light also comes with pre-build different light functions, which was good. The only downside I thought was they didn't have a built-in RGB colour changer on the light it self. the "GVMEASY" app required to change the RGB light. when testing the light I found it good feature and quality. I never owned an RGB battery-powered light. These were the first, I am really happy I got them. Pro: 1. Master/Slave works 2. WIFI controllable(works on android too) 3. Great carrying case and silk cloth bags 4. Works with sony battery too 5. LEDs are not cheap, reproduces great light. Con: 1. Doesn't have RGB controller on the light itself 2. Bit pricy 3. Stand nob feels a bit cheap

▬ Introduction ▬▬▬ The '800D' is a versatile RGB LED panel light which boasts quite a lot of features such as brightness, warm to cool white temperatures and a large range of colours; all achievable without the use of lighting gels and are quickly adjusted with just a few clicks and twists of a button. This package is a whole lighting kit, so comes with two lights and several accessories to get you started. ▬ Box Contents & Recommended Extras ▬▬▬ I was really pleased to see how well packed the lighting kit was inside the included hard travel case which keeps all the contents firmly in place during transport. - What's in the box: • 2x GVM 800D RGB light. • 2x Light diffuser (already inserted). • 2x Barn doors (already attached). • 2x Power cable w/ AC adaptor. • 2x Light stands. • 1x Travel case. • 1x Instruction manual. If you want to make the lights more portable, you can bypass the wired route by separately purchasing some 'NP-F970' rechargeable batteries; you will need four in total as each lighting unit requires two batteries to operate. ▬ Set-Up ▬▬▬ Using the lights is very straight-forward: The knob on the left adjusts the brightness and the knob on the right which is also a button adjusts the colour temperature, hue and saturation (press the knob to switch between each setting). A handy feature that some may find useful are the 'Master' and 'Slave' modes; providing both lights are set on the same channel, then the 'Master' light settings is adjusted, the 'Slave' light will then copy those settings with only a slight latency; this will save you time having to adjust the second light manually. There are some lighting effects available to choose from and whilst these are quite basic, they may be handy for some projects. ▬ 'GVM Easily' App ▬▬▬ There is an app available called 'GVM Easily' which allows you to adjust the light settings through your WiFi enabled smart device. I was using the app with my Android smartphone and felt there was a bit of trial and error to get it to work, however, I did get there in the end. It turns out my phone was treating the light as a router and because it was not getting internet connectivity, it kept cutting the connection; I was then prompted by my phone the option to remain connected which I opted for and this seemed to resolve the issue. The app overall does need some improvements to make it more user friendly; this could easily be implemented via an update. Luckily for me, when I use these lights they are easily accessible so I don't need to use the app and adjusting the settings directly on the light, is really simple. ▬ Results & Final Thoughts ▬▬▬ The lights are very bright and offers a nice amount of white temperatures (3200K - 5600K) and a huge amount of colours to choose from with a ride range of hues and saturation adjustment. It's a great light for both photography and videography.

Bought these as wanted some cheap lights for home projects without spending big bucks on pro gear. They come in a good case, with most components individually bagged inside. The power supplies and leads are not however, so they pack in a bit clumsily. The build quality is decent for the price - not the most solid lights of all time but surprisingly robust for the money, including the stands. The only disappointment is the barn doors, which are made of plastic and don't grip the frame tightly enough, so they are easy to knock out of place and won't take any weight, e.g. clip on gels. The quality of the white light they emit is pretty good, again not the most accurate ever, but they've been used in a shoot with high end kit and the colours came out fine. The white balance is adjustable within reasonable boundaries, though a higher top end would have been useful. It doesn't adjust the bi-colour LEDs on a curve either, so the output is greater in the middle than at either end. The biggest issue I have with the light is how little range is available to control the brightness. The dial goes from 0 to 100%, but the output level at 1% is still pretty bright - I haven't measured it but it didn't seem any less than 50% optimistically. That dramatically reduces their flexibility in fitting into a shoot with other lights, leading to cutting up ND filters to stick to the panel. This lack of range is also very prominent using the RGB LEDs as well. I can easily dial in intense, saturated primary colours, but you'll have less luck if you wanted to add more subtle tints. Think 'party' rather than 'cinematography'. Considering how cheap these lights are I was not expecting a great dynamic range since those higher quality LEDs can be pricey, but it's still a little surprising just how limited the brightness control is. It's the biggest limitation to their creative options. The lights can be controlled directly from the back or you can install an app. The app isn't great, you can control a single light simply enough but controlling both is a pain. Set up is awkward and I've not found a way to control connected lights individually yet. Seems like I'd need a second phone to do it how I want. (Note, this is despite a control in the app that let's you assign lights to different channels - only rather than selecting which channel you want to control, it instead sets all connected lights to that channel. It seems entirely pointless.) Overall then these lights can be quite limiting creatively, particularly if you need lighting that allows for nuance and subtlety, but if you are looking for some reasonable bi-colour panels that can also give you some colour options at a pinch then you can't really argue against these at that price.

So after a long search, I discovered this amazing product. At first, I was skeptical of this, as products from a well-known brand cost more than once. After reading other people’s reviews, I decided to take a risk. 100% I am happy to have purchased them. The RGB LEDs are amazing, I can change the dull background to any color I want. My mostly feature that I using on theses lights is battery mode (NP-F970) GOODBYE CABLES :). And there is nothing easier about adjusting the light intensity, everything can be adjusted with the help of several wheels and buttons. I am very happy with this product. Recommended!!!

I love these lights Only downside is you have to reconnect to each light through wifi to adjust each one, both cannot be adjusted from the app together, you adjust one, then re sync to the second lights wifi and then adjust that which is not good when you're on set and need a fast change, and can also effect your ability to adjust them manually in brightness when they are connected to the app. But apart from that these are a great et of lights with some great video features like disco, cop car and build/fade to name a few. A very good, value for money addition to any videographer

Great for film lighting and photo studio lighting (inside and and outside, but note it is not waterproof). The app works well but you dont have to use it, you can change settings manually. It comes with a compact briefcase bag where you can store it. You can adjust the brightness/warmth as well as use various colours like blue or pink. It also has a mode where it flashes red and blue the way police cars do.

I love this light, it was time to up my game as a content creator and add a little professionalism to my videos. This light came as a recommendation and I'm very happy to have it as part of my set up

The Android app has a score of 1.8 on Google play store. I have installed it from the apk file referenced from the manual. Getting a black and white screen with no information when I start the app. There are no rgb control on the device itself so I can only control brightness and temperature of the light.

I’ve been using the GVM 800D-RGB LED Lighting Kit for several projects now across a wide range—from real estate walkthroughs to narrative short films—and I can confidently say this kit punches way above its price point. As a filmmaker who regularly works in unpredictable lighting conditions and tight spaces, I’ve come to rely on this kit as my go-to solution for both professional and creative shoots. The build quality is solid, with an aluminum alloy shell that’s surprisingly lightweight yet durable enough to withstand transport and on-set wear. The included stands and barn doors feel sturdy and well-made, and everything fits (snugly) into the provided carrying case for easy travel. What truly makes this kit exceptional is the lighting performance. Each panel outputs a generous amount of light with a CRI of 97+, so colors look natural and consistent across scenes. The ability to fine-tune from 3200K to 5600K is essential when matching ambient light during real estate shoots or shifting tones for different scenes in my films. The RGB functionality has been a creative goldmine for narrative work—I can quickly dial in vibrant hues to set mood, simulate sunset, or build contrast against practical lights. The eight preset lighting effects have even saved me time in post by allowing me to capture stylized effects practically on set. The app control has been a game-changer during solo shoots or tight-turnaround setups. I can make live adjustments to color temperature, hue, saturation, and brightness directly from my phone—especially helpful when the lights are rigged high or out of reach. While the app can sometimes take a moment to connect, the manual knobs on each panel are intuitive and reliable as a fallback. Battery compatibility is another major win—I've paired the kit with NP-F970 batteries for remote shoots, and the lights run for a surprisingly long time on them, which has opened up opportunities for location shooting without needing to hunt down outlets. In terms of real-world performance, the lights hold up beautifully even during long takes. I’ve run them for extended periods during interviews and walkthroughs without flicker or overheating. They’re especially effective in a three-point lighting setup—offering enough brightness to key and fill without washing out skin tones or overexposing reflective surfaces. For short films, the RGB feature allows me to create separation between subjects and background or add surreal color tones that elevate the look far beyond a typical budget setup. If I had to nitpick, I’d say the carry case could be slightly roomier—everything fits, but just barely—and the light stands do require sandbags or weights if you're extending them with barn doors open at full tilt. That said, these are minor trade-offs when you consider the feature set and price. Compared to lighting kits costing twice as much, the GVM 800D holds its own and has truly upgraded the quality of my productions without draining my budget. Bottom line: whether you're lighting clean, professional shots for real estate or crafting mood and texture in narrative filmmaking, this kit offers a rare balance of affordability, performance, and versatility. It's one of the smartest gear investments I’ve made, and I’d recommend it without hesitation to any videographer or indie filmmaker looking for a reliable, powerful, and creative lighting solution.

Great to light up a room with colour or evenly light a green screen. The light is pretty hard even with the defusion panel in place. DON'T LOOK INTO THE LIGHT...you'll definitely be seeing spots for a while. Lights were smaller than expected but have come to love them as it's super easy to tuck into corners or tight spaces while still producing crazy amounts of light. Cord length isn't an issue for me, they are what they are and they do the thing. Paired with some NP-F970 batteries I can take these light weight beauties on the road with me. They require very minimal effort to break down and pop into a case. Just gotta find something to defuse these with.

This light is incredible for a number of reasons. It has enough options to please anyone and operates like a high end piece of equipment but it's not complicated at all to use, in fact I would say it's a great investment for a Beginning User or Advanced either one and I love that it comes with the storage totes to carry the equipment easily. It's my personal favorite lighting for 2021. It DOES include the stand and it's a really nice stand, it's lightweight but still sturdy and easy to adjust. Fully extended it reaches about 7 ft tall from the floor and is nice and sturdy when you set it up. It comes with the doors attached but if you want to remove them, no problem! Personally I like it with the doors on but that's just a matter of choice. You will want to buy Sony NPF-550/750 batteries for it and then you can take it on the go and use it anywhere. It's User Friendly with so many different custom options it's near limitless and it puts off amazing quality lighting. Perfect for YouTube/Vlogging, Photography, Art Shows, Musical Performances, and so many more uses. It's rare that I get this excited about a piece of equipment but this one is Top Of The Line Quality and Affordable in Pricing. My two favorite categories to get in a product! If I had to choose a favorite option it would be the Police Car light and my second choice is the Candle Effect. I should also mention that the app works great and isn't "buggy" or hard to use. Overall ease of use also played a major role in my rating because while it might look complicated & techy at first glance it's actually very easy to use and provides professional looking lighting. For the video I used a dressed up statue set up against a common whiteboard and you can clearly see the natural lighting in the room versus the product lighting, there is a MAJOR difference! When you see the light go off in the whiteboard reflection the picture gets really grainy and when the lights are on it's flawless. I filmed this with a cheap $50 no-name camera so imagine the outcome with a better quality camera! I cycled through the preset lighting modes but you can completely customize any aspect of the lighting you want including speed of color change and you can create any custom color you like with the app. I am really considering purchasing a second one as a gift for my sister & Brother in law because they own a professional Music Recording Studio and this light would be perfect for them because they record music videos in and out of the Studio and this travels easily, especially if you use the optional batteries. *If this review was helpful to you then please let me know by hitting the Helpful button, Thanks!*

Overall, the product does its job. It is portable and easy to use. There is an application where you can control the different modes, brightness, colour and many other functions. However, it does not come with batteries, so you would have to purchase that on your own. Delivery took some time but it was during the peak of COVID-19, so it was understandable. Customer service is also responsive and helpful. All in all, highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.

Paid so much money but one of the lights is flickering
