Bar LED fill light and traditional LED fill light, buy that more suitable?

Portable LED fill light is in two forms, essentially the same, rod and traditional, in addition to the non-portable LED fill light, higher power, commonly known as the sun light, common photo studio, mostly used for children portraits, micro-movie shooting.

The LED lights purchased this time are Yongnuo 360, and the LED camera light with the highest sales volume in the South Crown. There are many brands of lamps at the same price. In order to avoid the suspicion of promoting the brand, not all of them are purchased.

In fact, the domestic flash lamp production area is mostly in Yuyao, Ningbo, and many products for export are also produced here.

Let’s first take a look at the Yongnuo 360 stick fill light:

All LED fill light batteries are versatile and can be compatible with Sony cameras. Yongnuo 360 can be connected to external power supply, or it can be powered by battery. The battery can be selected at will. It is recommended to choose 4400 mAh.

There are 160 LED lamp beads in 3200K and 5500k color temperature, including a set of 40 lamp beads that are dedicated to RGB three primary colors, namely red, green and blue. This leads to insufficient brightness when switching the three primary colors, 3200K and 5500k. The brightness is strong enough.

It comes with a magnetic swatch that can be attached to the back when you don't use it. To be honest, this color is too warm. It seems to me to be a chicken rib, no use.

Switch and brightness knob, and 3200K/5500K color temperature switching (lower right corner), fine/rough adjustment (lower left corner), RGB three primary color cut (upper left corner), power display (upper right corner).

Workmanship is slightly rough, but compared to the price of half of Li Shuai's ice lamp, it is still tolerable.

Yongnuo 360 can use the mobile APP to control the endless adjustment of any color temperature, but only limited to 15 meters, and this function is purely redundant in my opinion.

Panasonic GM1 micro single, 5500k color temperature, ISO200, shutter 1 / 50, aperture 4.5, the camera is about 50 cm from the illuminated background, full brightness.

Panasonic GM1 micro single, 3200k color temperature, ISO200, shutter 1 / 50, aperture 4.5, the camera is about 50 cm from the illuminated background, full brightness.

Compared with the traditional LED fill light with only two color temperature, the Yongnuo 360 operation is still slightly complicated, and the design logic is somewhat complicated. For example, the LED of 80% brightness is turned on at 3200K color temperature. If the color temperature switch button is pressed, the switch is switched to 5500K. Color temperature, and increase the brightness, this is the color temperature of 3200K and 5500K mixed state under 80% brightness. If you want a simple 5500k color temperature, you can only rotate the 3200K brightness to 0 first, press the toggle button, then adjust brightness. The same is true for RGB colors. To switch from red to pure blue, only red brightness is switched first, then blue is switched.

Saying, red + blue =? It is also good to use the basic three primary colors under this review. However, the RGB three primary colors are not accurate. In theory, red + blue + green = white, in fact, it will deviate from some strange, showing a blue-green white tone. I also feel that this function is not use.

RGB three colors mixed and got strange white, so I said that this function is not used, because the brightness is not enough, red, green, blue three colors are nonsense.

However, the color temperature of the 3200K color temperature and the 5500k color temperature can be mixed, and the brightness is also doubled. The Panasonic GM1 micro single, ISO200, shutter 1/50, aperture 7.1, brightness is fully open.

Overall feeling:

Bright enough! You can brighten your eyes, shoot enough still life, shoot half-length and large-length portraits, and raise your sense of height slightly.

However, the color temperature of 3200k and 5500k is still slightly different. The LED is common. It is better to be more accurate than the LED light for household use after custom white balance. The color rendering index is obviously much higher than the LED lamps used in lighting.

Buying suggestion: Shooting portraits as auxiliary light source and taking care of the main light source of still life. Theoretically, the LED light of the stick is very good. You can experience different types of eye light when you hold the horizontal and vertical, but the eyes will be very uncomfortable when looking at the LED for a long time. It is not like a flash. It is an instant output flash, so long-term shooting is not recommended. I usually use the spot light as an auxiliary light source to shoot weddings and shoot still life. As an auxiliary light source for the workbench and for shooting video, an additional stable bracket is required.

The stick-shaped LED light is slender, and this many shots provide convenience, such as a good long strip of outline light.

.

For example, the fine lens of the disassembly lens is used as the illumination source. The shooting parameters are ISO 400 and aperture 5.6.

And participate in the aunt's home MX6 out of the box video recording light source, the specific effect can watch my Meizu MX6 public test text quick evaluation video.

Let’s take a look at the traditional fill light at a price of 200 or less:

With only one switch, brightness adjustment knob and color temperature adjustment knob, the logic is simple.

More than 200 price points, just add some LED digital display that does not hurt, and improve brightness.

Panasonic GM1 micro single, 5500k color temperature, ISO200, shutter 1 / 50, aperture 2.5, the camera is about 50 cm from the illuminated background, full brightness.

Panasonic GM1 micro single, 3200k color temperature, ISO200, shutter 1 / 50, aperture 2.5, the camera is about 50 cm from the illuminated background, full brightness.

Overall feeling:

The bargain is not bright enough, and the shooting still life is perfect.

The color temperature difference is close to that of the Yongnuo 360. That is to say, these products are likely to come from a supplier and a foundry. For example, this one uses two LED fill lights, and the upper right corner is Yongnuo 360 to adjust the brightness. Contouring light, the lower left corner is the south crown as the main light, you can see that there is almost no deviation in color temperature.

Buying advice: Still life shooting, the portrait is recommended to buy more than 200+ products, do not direct long-term eyes when shooting portraits.

With a close-up of the light, you can take a good picture with your mobile phone.

These two are taken by the iPhone 5C. The slag picture quality is matched with the LED fill light. The above is the traditional fill light, and the bottom is the stick LED light.

This is a collaboration of LEDs, following the principle of the main light source + auxiliary backlight to create texture.
