PHOTOOLEX TOFU Portable LED Camera Light

I am not disappointed, in fact very impressed that so much power and quality is coming from a small device

PHOTOOLEX TOFU Portable LED Camera Light

Love this light. Definitely purchasing more

 This light has been able to increase the quality of my video production in a huge way. Lighting is very important when I take pictures and videos so being able to increase a crucial part of photography with such a portable yet capable light was an opportunity I could not pass up. I love how easy this light has been to use it has two dials to adjust settings and one button so navigating the menu is super easy and I can always get it set up just how I want my scene lit in under 30 seconds. The light is also very portable I keep it in its original packaging when I take it with me because the packaging can be opened and closed like a little box and fits the light the charging cable and its mounting hardware all in a neet place. I also love how this light works with all my other camera equipment in a seamless manner it has the same standarized mounting threads that the rest of my equipment use so putting it on a tripod or a moving camera rig is very fast and convenient.

This is not my first video light, and I’m sure this is a good video light. Color of RGB can be changed easily and the battery last relatively long, at least 2 hours as I tested. Will buy the second one if needed.

This is a *really* interesting light. It looks like it came out of 'Baby's First Content Creation Kit' with the chunky yellow knobs and whimsical typefaces. But don't let the looks fool you--this is a killer camera light with a ton of functionality. It does many of the same things as my much larger lights but it's tiny and easy to carry.

The controls couldn't be easier to use. Two knobs and one button control everything. It charged up quickly and after about an hour of testing shows no signs of running out of power. The product description claims a battery life of 10 hours and I've seen nothing to make me doubt that.

There's a USB-C charging slot in back and it can be used with the cable while it's charging. Adjustable color temp (2500K to 9900K), Hue adjustable from 0 degree - 360 degree. Brightness from 0% - 100% dimmable. The chunky knobs are easy to turn and it's equally as easy to get a precise setting. There are 21 pre-programmed effects and it's just as easy to access these as it is to use the other functions. The back of the unit is magnetized which further enhances its functionality. Also compatible with cold shoe mounts and 1/2" screw holes.

I had very low expectations of this light. I thought it was going to be a gimmicky toy. Instead, it is one of the best lights I own. Amazing functionality in a small package.

 One of the easiest 5 star reviews ever. No need to regurgitate all the other accolades.
I am handicapped so I don't use my GoPro 10 for snow boarding. I use it because it is tiny.
I was limited on reviews of small items and pictures for things I am selling. Lighting was always an issue.
This item is a beast for what it does. SO handy.. Works great in complete darkness.
Works great if you have a shadow you want to eliminate.
GREAT feel to it. No need to say more that an easy 5.
Every now and then I come across a product that is a true pleasure to own.
Cheers.. Hope this helps..

Just to get it out of the way I absolutely love this LED light and I highly recommend it! It is compact, powerful with excellent battery life. The build quality is plastic (what do you expect at this price point) but it seems like it is pretty resistant to impact. Dials have good resistance and function as expected. My main use for this light is to add some color to the products I shoot which it does an excellent job! I'm very impressed with how bright this light can get and the plethora of colors you can choose to give your photos that extra flair. The only thing that I don't like about this light and most lights in this price range (even more expensive ones are guilty of this as well) is that when you choose a color you have to cycle through the entire rainbow of colors (every shade and hue) to reach the color you want. This can take several spins of the dial depending on the color you want to get to. I wish they would allow you to select the color you want quickly (red, blue, green etc) and then fine tune it by using the dial to change the different shade or hue you want. I have used plenty of RGB lights over the years and it seems like this is their Achilles heel since most do this. Other then that minor annoyance, this light is great. Especially at its price point you really cannot go wrong.

This little light is exactly what I'm looking for to supplement my current set up. I take toy photography and sometimes I need to take some shots really quickly for my digital renderings. I hate having to set up a light box and backdrop everytime especially for photo studies of the subject matter. I tend to take these quick shots with my phone but the desk lamp doesn't quite work well especially when I need to change lighting angles. This little Tofu light is perfect. I can position it anywhere to get the exact light angle I need. This saves me a ton of time especially when I'm working on a tight deadline.

The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. It's also very light and I can take photo with one hand while holding the light with another.

I'll be updating this review with a video where I walk through some features and how I use this light.

 As someone who makes YouTube videos, I’ve accumulated a lot of little RGB lights over the years, but this is by far the coolest, I’ve seen. The overall design is similar to what you’re used to in that it has a CCT mode, RGB mode and some pre-set scene modes, but it’s the overall execution of how these are employed that really sets this little light apart from the others. The style is quirky and cool. It comes in a package that literally looks like a box of tofu. And where others would have boring buttons or sliders, this light uses giant knobs on the side have a fun retro-modern kind of vibe that actually work just as good as they look. From the bottom knob, you can switch it on, turn to CCT mode, RGB mode or the scene modes. The top button allows you to change the intensity of the settings in the various modes, i.e.: brightness, saturation, etc. And of course there’s a magnetic back and not one, but two tripod mounts - one on the bottom and one on the top. This is a really well-designed little RGB light that stands out in a crowded market place of similar lights. This light both looks great and works great - definitely would recommend.

This light is small but it packs a punch. It’s literally pocket size so I’ve been carrying with me as a fill light for impromptu shoots w my iPhone. Also good for a little accent light for filming. The hue selector is a nice touch. Overall, inexpensive and effective.

 Kudos to whoever's imagination designed both the light itself and the packaging because it is super cute and original! The light comes in the cutest little box that you can also use to store the light in and keep it safe! While I personally love the chunky buttons, I can see why they would be problematic for some, especially if their rig is already packed with other recording/photo equipment. I originally thought this would be a good light for my GoPro but it's a tad overwhelming both in size and brightness. It also doesn't mount properly but more on that later. The good news is that the 1/4" hole allows me to mount it on any one of my 12 million phone rigs. Because of it's size/shape I can also just set it down and use it for various indoor and outdoor lighting set-ups without it taking up too much space or being visible on camera.

My reason for 4 stars is that while it does come with the 1/4" hole in the bottom, the adapter that it comes with 1) doesn't screw in all the way, 2) when it is screwed in all the way the flat part that slides into the mount is always at an angle so you can't mount it properly, and 3) it only comes with 1 nut so you're unable to secure the light to the adapter and the adapter to the mount simultaneously.

I tried it many different times/ways and no matter which way I tried the base always ended up sideways. Because the adapter doesn't screw into the light all the way, there is also this large and rather awkward gap between the light and base of the adapter. The only way I could get the base to align and fit into my mount correctly is if I used the nut to secure the light onto the adapter, which then left me with nothing but a hope and prayer that gravity would somehow keep the adapter from sliding straight out of the mount.

You know what could fit in that awkward gap and give me a little more faith in gravity?

An extra nut.

Aside from the mounting situation (which I was able to correct with different adapter), I really do like this light. The brightness level is great compared to many other lights I own and it even gives some of my larger lights a run for their money (as far as brightness goes). The different color selection and the lighting effects just add to its greatness and takes the light from a want to a need (as long as you have another adapter on deck to mount it LOL).

For a little light this is surprisingly bright. There is a learning curve dialing in the different colors, and the brightness settings are limited to three. But otherwise it is a great light.
