Is the light perfectly even or does it have hot spots from each individual LEDs. I don't see a diffuser lens on it.

The light is bright, but soft. It is spread evenly across the sheets. It is a slight bit brighter in the middle as opposed to the edges, but is more than adequate for stage use. Hope this helps. :)

The light is very even and covers two side-by-side pages of music; no hot spots (just checked it). It looks just like the ones used by the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra; I love it! Works either plugged in (at home) or on batteries at concert venues.

This is a great light. I use it on my piano and it easily lights up an area two or three pages wide and the keyboard. It doesn't need a diffuser. The light is very uniform and even with no "hot spots".

The light seems very even to me with no hot spots. I love this light while playing in the pit, I have no difficulty seeing my music and there is noglare at all. It is very comfortable to use and I recommend it to all musicians!

The light is spread evenly, probably due to the fact that there are 9 bulbs providing light. It easily lights up 2 sheets of music.

It appears perfectly even to me. I have not noticed any spotting on my scores.

It has a diffuser at the base of the shade, so no glare. The light is very even.

It's a bit more focused than just a standard light bulb. From the lens part out, it will send light out in all direction but it is more intents at the center. I use it for a replacement light for my Fiber Optic Christmas Tree. Hardly any heat and it looks good. I used it in a Floor lamp and it puts a good colorful spot on the ceiling.. Hop that helps.

The metal grate is in front of the bulb, and permits lots of light for the user without annoying everyone else in the room. That feature is a huge improvement over previous models. The parabolic diffuser is the domed part of the lamp behind the bulb.

The spread is pretty good. It is not a spot beam at all. It might not be as bright as those ugly fans with four lights but it is more than enough light across the whole room.

I cannot answer this question with an estimate in number of degrees, but it's plenty broad. I have mine installed in a narrow space and it it completely illuminated. It is not some sort of spot beam, it is broadly dispersed bright light and remarkably powerful for such little electricity.

hi brandon, I am more of a walk around photographer, and find a soft box or studio lights not practical for what I take pictures of. (children on the go mostly). The dome and the snap on diffuser are very similar to me. The dome is a bit more bulky, and both throw almost too much light around the room for me to use most of the time. I feel like they create shadows in small rooms, but when I need to see someone's eyes or they are back lit outside and I want to brighten their face or add a catch light. They fit the bill. better then no flash , or direct flash. Inside they almost are too direct that they still flatten my images. Then I resort to bounce... They have their place.

It is a spot light, you would not be pleased with the narrow beam. However, if you diffuse it with wax paper or something similar, the beam is much softer and wider.

There are two competing issues: without a diffuser the strobe angle is very narrow. If you're using a wide angle lens, this will result in an overly bright hotspot in the middle of the picture that looks ridiculous. The diffuser takes care of this problem by widening the beam, getting rid if the hot spot. What you get, though is a lot dimmer strobe, since the beam is now "diffused". The cure, unfortunately, is to throw money at it and buy a more expensive wide angle strobe, or combine it with a movie light that is wide angle. This works great but is more complicated: you aim the movie light at the close objects and aim the strobe at distant objects . Short answer: use a diffuser if you're shooting close (2-3'). Take it off if you're trying to light a more distant object like a dive 6' away.

The LED lighting is a cool white. Looks the same at all settings: high and low magnification; and high and low intensity.

John, This particular Light uses 5500k leds only. It has a gel holder built on the front, if you need to change to 3200k or match any flourescent flavor. It includes a couple hard plastic color filters but they are not accurate, they only get you close. The actual leds used are exactly daylight if you measure it on a Nikon d800 then analize the image in photoshop. Hope This helps, Mike

Three LED's are in each light. They aren't going to win any brightness awards, but they do a decent job if the item being illuminated isn't too far away.

I fully agree with your idea. I bought a "Wide Angle Lens for MagicShine, Gemini, and many other Bike Lights / Headlight" by ACTION LED LIGHTS about a year ago and have been very happy with it. With the light you are looking at, it can replace the original flat glass lens or fit over it. You unscrew the metal ring that holds the lens over the LED bulb, replace the lens with the diffuser (or put the diffuser over the lens) and screw the ring back on being sure that the rubber o-ring stays in position and the bars molded into the diffuser stay vertical. Easier to do than to explain. Pattern is quite even and spread is good for bike paths and roads. Might be a little narrow still for boonie-crashing. Preserves weather seal on the lamp if you are careful with the o-ring. not bad for five bucks!

The light is not the piercing white of some LED's. A warmer white light is how I would describe it. Certainly not an over powering bright light.

Measure your lens. My lens was in the 38mm range +/- 2mm (kinda hard to measure with it installed in the lamp). FYI, between my son and I, we have 4 of these. I prefer the wide angle lens for single LED lamps. I ended up taking if off my three led lamp because it made the beam very oddly shaped. But it works beautifully on the single LED lamps completely eliminates the hot spot in the middle of the beam.

There are 6 led lights in the diffuser, and there are 4 colors with 2 light degree levels available: High white, light white, High red, light red, High green, light green, High blue, light blue. The colors can change by using automatic or manual mode.

I used this item all sorts of way's with out any issure's ! This does not produce a diffuse light up close and in my opinon it shows a sharp beam.You can connect several led infr. lites! As far as angles are concerned you can position it at any angle.If this does not suit you there is other products to adjust your needs.I hope this was some what helpful. DAVE S
