Side by Side Comparison of: Julius Studio vs Cheaplights vs DSTE vs Newmowa

Great table top setup. Have already used the lights and stands to shoot some tutorial videos.

These lights are small but don't let that detour you- these put off a great amount of light and even hues. I am actually very surprised that I use these as much as I do now. Great for product photo box shots, docu-film projects and tight shots that require proper lighting. Well worth it and a happy purchase.

Overall, these LED lights are amazing!In the box you get with them, they come with 2 of the LED lights itself, 2 stands for the LED lights, and different lighting filters you can put on the lights if wanted.I personally was looking for different lighting pieces that can be used with double A batteries and they do work. On the back of the lights, you can indicate very easily when the batteries are about to be low.The lights are very adjustable, from the stands how tall or short you want it to be to how bright you want the lights to be. Overall if you are just starting out with video making or photography, I think this would be great for you.

I photograph rooms in houses. Some rooms just have such poor light (or the time of day is wrong, or it's raining outside, whatever) that more light is needed to make the picture work. I wanted a lightweight, portable light source to supplement my camera's flash, and these are perfect. Very lightweight, easy to set up and take down, and the light filters are a nice addition. The LED lights are bright and steady. Very happy with this set!

Are you a film or photography enthusiast on a low budget? Then you will find this product as wonderful as I do. The quality, ease-of-use, and price, makes this light kit an easy decision when adding to your production tool belt.Quality:The first thing you notice when you open the packaging is that this kit is a quality kit. The two LED panels are made of a very sturdy-feeling plastic with a clean 10x16 LED array. A lot of the quality really resonates from the two tripods that are included with the kit. Made of a solid, but lightweight metal, these two tripods are excellent and can even be used for a camera because it has the standard threaded top. The range of brightness for the panels are really incredible. From a dim glow to a powerful blast of light, each panel has a great dimming switch to bring you any level of lighting you need. For an up-and-coming artist, these lights create amazing tones and clarity that will help in any kind of studio setting.Ease of use:If you are someone who has never purchased or set up a studio light kit, you will have no problems getting started with this set. Reading no instructions, I was able to open each part of the kit and easily assemble the two panels. The tripods also include a very helpful “ball and socket” adjustment near the LED panel to make it easy to get the light to shine at any kind of angle you need. The four color filters for each panel also slide in and out of the panel very easily and provide a great way to get a wide range of color levels. If you wanted to improve on the ease of use of this product, I would suggest an additional purchase of the battery packs/battery charger (as shown in adjacent products). This will prevent you from having to use 6 AA batteries for each panel and can make your lights rechargeable.Price:The real winning feature for this kit is its very reasonable price. $58.50 for two light panels, two tripods, and 8 light filters is almost stealing these products. Similar studio lights I have researched can easily double or triple this price for just one light.Overall, if you are looking for a great start up kit for studio lighting that will be sturdy, will work easy with any number of setups, and is set at a price that won't hurt your limited budgets, this LED light set is the easy choice for you.

These are verypossibly the perfect portable video lighting solution for bloggers. make sure to buy the lithium ion batteries or the power adapters but they are fantatic

The light work great. Recommend on getting extra batteries. The tripod where the lights attach are not the greatest. The lights will not stay in place.

These are great lights! So happy with them. I need the charger but, other than that great!!! Very bright and portable!!!

Was smaller that expected, but very bright. Son likes it as it was his Christmas gift..

Lights are very bright and i like that i takes more than one battery type, but the lights have a slight green hue. Also one light is ALOT greener than the other but I can live with it. (Us the Pink filter to combat the Green Hue, it works pretty good.)

arrived on time and as represented by seller. I already own two of this lights that I use with my camera and I really like the way the subjects are illuminated. And...you can use 4 different types of batteries to power them. The only thing that could improve is the actual height of the stands.You may have to position them on a box or table top to get the elevation that is needed. But... for the price I think these are well worth it.

Great overall. I didnt read the description properly so I didnt realize how short the tripods were until I opened them. If you want the light to hit a human face, set the tripod on a stool or table. Only complaint is the pink filter. I chose this product mainly for the filters it comes with. Yellow and blue work great, the pink filter just looks white when you put it in. Brightness is great, super easy installation, overall great product!

Overall, this are ok lights. They light well in a dark room, but dont put off a lot of light otherwise. They are also smaller than they appear in photos. They work well in some instances. Like shooting up close video where i can position the lights really close to my subject. But for lighting a studio, they just dont put off a lot of light.

These lights will go through 6 AA battery about ever 6 hours so it would have been nice to include a cord and wall plug.

awesome little lights battery life is fine for what i need them for a few hours of filming at most. Only thing i don't care for about them (and might be because i have to move them around so much on set) is that the battery seems to slide out just enough to not be connected. this happens often. pros:Lights work great, nice little size, battery life pretty goodcons:battery comes out when setting them up for a shot not a huge problem especially if you only have to set them up once.

Decent lighting, and easy setup, and very light-weight. Just be aware they only go so high (yes it says 28" so my bad). I think I assumed that the center rod extended a bit more and you'd get more like 4' rather than just under 3', but they are good for fill lights and of course bounces. If you go in knowing this you'll be happier. Obviously great for table work and product photography. I do video though and was looking for more of a set of extra cinema spots, so I pictured something slightly different, but again, I'm keeping them and will definitely use them as secondary sources.

Lighting is adequate when in a small room

So the 3 stars because of the value. Lots of stuff for the price. But the lights themselves (the six I bought) don't work well withAA batteries. Like one out of six worked with with the AA's. They all worked with the rechargeable batteries. There is also a notable difference between the light brightness of these and the popular brand name (which I also have). It's nice to have the stands and these lights as back ups, but I'd buy the popular brand name next time for a few dollars more without the stands.

LED lighsts only works with with battery packs and not batteries. The lights were smaller than expected.

Terrible quality - one didn't even work when I received it and had to send the whole thing back.. When the new pair came, one light was blue tones and one was yellow. I just wanted them for some simple product photography for my website and they were a total waste of money.

One of the lights randomly stopped working after 3 months. It won't come on at all despite having new batteries.

It only came in the mail with 1 light and stand it is supposed to come with 2 it also didn't come with the rechargeable battery's

Junk, cheap, useless. I sent it back.

Doesn't run on normal batteries as advertised. Must purchase the camcorder style special batteries or it won't work. Maybe? I haven't done that yet. Current status: gathering dust.

I only got this thinking it was a great deal unfortunately I only received one light I do t recommend this at all!!
