Lume Cube!

I love these little Lume Cube LED lights! Cordless. Rechargeable. Diffusers. Adjustable with buttons or an app. Fit on the flash shoe of most cameras. My pair did not come with the little ball heads so I added them. I also recently added the triple shoe mount for multiple light sources on one camera. These accessories also fit standard tripod mounts or the very cool and sleek adjustable light stands, which I probably have as well. None of this is cheap. It is built like a tank. Great quality. Even beautiful. Albert has a couple of the Panel GO lights and the shorter light stands that he uses for all the video calls and Zoom-type meetings he has these days. (Someone has to work.) They are an excellent work-from-home option.

I don’t do video but if you do and if you VLOG, check these out. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. There are attachment gizmos for the lights to go on your cell phone. Even mounting for drones, if that’s your thing.

The only negative would be the price. They are a bit pricey. They have decent battery life but I would like to see that improved. If you’re not on at full power they last hours. Albert has his Panel GO set on about 10% and it shows a 6 hour time remaining. It’s just gonna depend on how you use them. Often I have my cubes on full power. Max set like that is about 45 minutes.
