I bought this wanting a great selfie light. It really isn't that good for that as I thought, because it's so bright and not adjustable. The seller has no fault in this, it is as described, so for me, it wasn't quite what I needed, but if you're looking for a cheap way to make selfies brighter, this may be just what you're looking for.

I absolutely love my selfie case! the LED lights give me the perfect amount of light. I've also dropped my phone with this case on it about 5 times (I'm a klutz) and it's protected my phone each time. I love the color of it too (:

The light is not super bright. I would have this for a back up back up if that makes sense. I would use my 1000 lumes flash light until i have no batteries. The plastic seems really thin to me. I am afraid that if I take this into the woods and spin the handle to quick im snapping that plastic. Very small to me, hook is nice for hanging in hammock or tent.

I bought this fully intended to using it as reading light. however, it did not fare too well on that department. and it's been sitting there collecting dust until one day when i was trying to take some photo for some items i am trying to sell. The photo looks so unappealing until i use this as the incident light to illuminate the object. the output turns out so much better. i am knocking the one star off because it was useless for what it was meant for and totally god send on photo taking, it's almost as if it's meant to be an incident light with the portable feature.

I purchased this like 6 months ago and I do struggle with the lighting even though it is a high definition WebCam it does take pretty amazing pictures but if you are doing a video the lighting has to be perfect other than that it is a decent purchase another disappointment on the fact that I guess the lighting just right!

This is a great tool for selfies. Especially since most phones only allow you to use a flash after it's too late, this gives you great light

This is truely a more well designed light than what I was expecting. You need to know, however, that you will need to purchase an adaptor for this light to be attached to a tripod. This is true of all versions of this light, ie The 160 light version as well. If you are planning to attach the light to the hotshoe of a camera, and then attach that camera to a tripod then it will work, but if you are wanting to use this style of light on a tripod as fill light in a low light setting atop a tripod, YOU NEED TO BUY A HOT SHOE ADAPTOR. I purchased the Ephoto SB800 for my tripod application, but a Stroboframe Bracket Shoe mount will do just as well. It is the same thing... just a Diff. name. What looks like a tripod mounting hole at the bottom of this light is actually not that but something else.

I purchased this to help provide some additional light during Facebook live videos that I was conducting indoors, mostly at night. However, you have to be extremely close to your phone in order for it to provide any noticeable light. Settings two and three are so bright that they would be hard to look at for any length of time. The ring also would have gotten in the way of me being able to see viewer comments during the live video as well. I guess if you're just going to pull it out for a quick selfie at close-up range, then it does the trick. But if you're thinking of using it for video, I'd advise against it.

This is a awesome addition to your phone for those of us who love to take pictures anywhere and everywhere but run into the issues of low lighting.  this has a USB port to charge it and it is really bright so you can take pictures in total darkness

This is probably a great product if you're looking for some "fill" lighting or want to illuminate a pathway or doorway and don't want to hassle with wiring.  I was hoping it would be brighter in order to use it for more of a "security" type purpose, but unfortunately it falls very short of that goal (for security lighting, I highly recommend the Mr. Beams MB3000 product, but unfortunately it doesn't offer remote control).

I have a situation where I live on a corner, and on our side street a few times of year we get people parking and playing music or talking loudly late at night (we live by the beach).  The big problem is that our bedroom window (which is normally open at night) faces out toward this street, and being woken up at 3 in the morning by drunk idiots blaring rap or heavy metal music or talking loudly gets really annoying, especially on a week night.  Rather than having to get up out of bed with a super-bright flashlight and personally suggest to these people to either quiet down or go somewhere else, I was hoping to mount a few of these lights along the fence and then be able to turn them all on with the remote from my bedside table, as advertised.

Alas, there are two problems with this application for this particular light - the amount of light they put out is pretty much of a joke (its a bit more than a night light) and the remote will only work if I hold my arm up high enough that I can point it out the window and have a direct, unobstructed line of sight to the light itself.  (I'm about 25' or 30' away when doing this, and the light is mounted on top of a fence). If I drop my hand down below the headboard of my bed (and the wall behind it) it won't work, but if I raise it 6" so that it is peering out the window, then it will operate the light.

I'll probably be moving this light to my car port or some other "convenience" type location where it will be better suited, and continue my search for a more powerful (brighter) security type light that can be operated remotely.  (Motion sensor lights won't work because I don't want the light going off every time a car drives by or a neighbor quietly walks past on the street.)

I like the light if I wanted a solid light, but I cannot for the life of me get this thing into flash mode. Any suggestions?

Originally I was going to get the Sima but one of the reviewers linked me to this.

The light is VERY VERY BRIGHT. I don't know how people I'm filming would feel.  Maybe I'll put some diffusion on it.  I plan to use it off camera anyway, holding up the light above in one hand while holding camera with the other.  If you use slightly used batteries, not fresh ones, the light will of course not be as bright.

I love that it only uses 2 AAs (as to opposed to 6 in most led lights) and that it came with rechargables. You don't have to buy expensive lithiums that other lights use.

The only gripe that I have with it is that the wheel to tighten it to a bracket is VERY tight. It takes an effort to just to turn it.

Can anybody tell me what the AC adaptor is for? Is it to charge the batteries? I wish it could power up the light without the batteries.

Edit: After a few weeks. the light died. The on/off switch was no installed properly. It was going inside. So opened it to fix it and found that the wires were disconnected from the light. Tried to fix it but it's a goner.

I  just began to use it a few weeks ago..
I have a problem,  not understanding why the built in camera is ONLY for a selfie.  I do not see the capability to change it. I went to a store & was told it cannot be changed. I do not like that feature,  I wish I would have known, I would not have requested it . Otherwise,  other functions have not been used enough yet

I loved my selfie kit. The monopod is very useful, and the clicker as well. I didn't like the suggested app for the clicker, although I'm sure there should be another one compatible with it. The tripod is very useful too. I have an extra piece which I don't know what it is for...

This is a great light for selfies! I love this thing. I've also been clipping it on my handheld mirror for doing my eyebrows and makeup.

I am not a selfie- type of person, but due to job in direct sales... I had to get over not liking pics and/or video. This ring light helps with both pics and video.
If considering a cell phone light... get this one!
