As someone who’s just getting into photography and can’t yet afford high-end lights, these are great value!
Hogan –
This is the perfect light for me. It has a variety of settings and lights, making it perfect for on-the-go. I will definitely buy accessories and accessories. The suitcase allowed us to use it for auditions and photos on the go.
Vincent –
This video light will be a great addition to my photography studio (I am writing this as a beginner photographer). The light comes in a nice carrying case and is easy to set up. There is no stand for this particular light, which is what I personally own. There are eight different modes to suit your needs. For each mode, the light intensity can be from 0 to 100%. The time for disco and party modes can be adjusted directly on the back of the light or on the app.
Angelo –
This lighting set is unreal! At 7 feet tall, it was perfect for my wine webinars online. My computer’s dim lights are not enough. These worked. They provide the perfect light so you can see through the wine without appearing like artificial light.
Charles –
I’m a film student in Canada building my own small lighting kit for shows and personal projects and so far I’m very happy with the lights. Even in USD/CAD, these are some of the best priced RGB LED sets I could find, with great reviews and pretty quick delivery.The only downside for me is that with the softbox installed, the light can’t be tilted down far enough, but I’ve been able to fix it so far. The shade can also look a little choppy, but that can be fixed by adding extra diffusing gel.

Haley –
After purchasing only one light for a product shoot, I was so pleased with the functionality and results that I bought 2 more lights that I used in a YouTube interview yesterday
Christopher –
Every time I go to a B&H store I leave with what I go to get and the salesperson is very efficient and very knowledgeable about the product and the store. i love my lamp i am very happy
Bing –
I’ve shown the versatility of this light many times. I’ve achieved dramatic effects in my videos using RGB settings (purple, blue, yellow, red), and I’ve used variations of white for key/fill lighting in various scenes. wifi control is good. That said, it’s also pretty easy to adjust light settings using the light controls. I used the lights with the included power adapter and generic NP-F batteries.
Parker –
Great price! I use them as rgb accents and fill lights when shooting product reviews.
Dean –
This is absolutely perfect for my video webcast! The lights are not too bright and make me look tired. Setup was simple, and unlike other devices I’ve owned, it stayed in place. The lighting is soft, but still captures detail when I display items. love it!
Lance –
This light is great. Super bright and all the different colors are a plus. I do photography and putting the light behind the paper creates a great effect that takes my photos to a whole new level.
Basil –
When I opened my package, I was already impressed. The GVM 800D-RGB LED light is secured in a padded zippered case with handles for easy portability. Inside the case there is a mesh for the charger/power cable to keep it safe in the carrying case. The light itself is actually in another box inside the suitcase! A beautiful velvet drawstring pouch that fits easily into larger cases. The quality of the lights is very good. light. The instruction manual is easy to understand. The controls on the back of the light itself are easy to read, and you can actually download an app to control the lights on your phone! The light can be attached to a stand or just propped up. If you’re looking to take your videos/photos up a notch, this is the product for you!
Leo –
Inexpensive bright RGB LED lights. buy another one. Thanks to B&H for fast shipping
Patrick –
This is a lightweight set for a quick and easy-to-carry setup.They complement my main lights but can be used on their own for intimate shots. These stands are a bit flimsy, but the lights are strong and well made. The light output of the small lights is very good, and the RBG gives me the option to add color accents to the scene. For the price, you get unbeatable value.
Taylor –
Great deal from BH I wasn’t disappointed with the variety of gear and accessories I bought through there, thank you so much BH
Theodore –
Bought these lights to fill out my home studio and they are amazing! With these lights, I can be more creative with my photos and videos with the RGB settings these lights provide. Their 1% increment settings allow for precise control, and the stands are researched and provide just the right height! They are user friendly and easy to set up! This is a great first step for any photographer or videographer looking to start getting creative in the studio!
Meredith –
These lights are absolutely perfect for indoor and outdoor use, very effective I got it 5 times to start
Andy –
I broke a barn door and I’m about to buy a new one. But instead, they helped me and replaced it immediately! The lighting works great, glad I made the right choice!
Robert –
This studio light is a great asset for professional photographers and even beginners. Provides high-quality artificial studio lighting, ideal for portraiture. It has various settings and color options. Comes with a premium zippered case for storage. Light stand not included.
Noah –
When I first started playing with these lights, I tried to figure out what I didn’t like about them, but nothing. I’m a comedian’s videographer and I also shoot a lot. I must say that anyone who wants to buy these vs those who only have temperature control – choose these RGB. That little extra money is worth the investment! These can be used for professional work as well as niche videos/photos. App control is fine, but I personally prefer to walk up to each light and adjust it manually (yes, it takes time, but it takes no more than 5 minutes to set all lights).
Abraham –
My daughter is building her e-commerce business, pajamas and underwear. She is using her models to build her own online catalog with pictures and videos. I have to say, from what I’ve seen so far, I think she’s going to do well. I’ve been trying my best to help. One thing is setting up her photography and videography studio here. We now have a two-piece ambient lighting kit, a camera slider, and a three-piece “Scene Setup” lighting kit. This trio of lights is so cool. All three lights can be controlled by the app individually or in any combination of “master-slave” settings. They have a variety of lighting effects; disco, party, police, lighting, paparazzi, candles, tv glow, 0 – 100% flickering bad bulbs of any intensity and removable diffusers. It’s super easy to set up with a tripod stand that adjusts to 8 feet. The complete set comes with a well-designed carrying case and individual velvet pouches for each component and stand. The app is easy to operate and makes controlling lights a breeze. Great purchase. Thanks GVM. Five stars.
Ian –
Thank you for helping to scale the clothing display.
Jeremy –
Great for freelance photography and video shooting. Compact and easy to carry.
Ellis –
This is not suitable for professional work, but it will perform well and help you if you are on a low budget or otherwise. Highly recommended for beginner videographers
Julian –
Great light for video production
Carl –
Let me start off by saying that this lamp is awesome. It has a good power output and, if used properly, can provide a nice soft light. The question is how to gradually increase the light. These lights are added in 5% increments. This causes problems when you go from the bottom of the range to the initial 5% or from 95% to 100%. At that point, the LEDs are nothing, so when the color temperature is heated up at the top of the range, the white LEDs simply turn off, producing a huge orange change, and the same low end goes blue. 5% increments make it hard on all fronts, as the RGB side at the top of the range also changes color intensity very drastically.
Jeff –
The GVM 800D-RGB LED Studio 2-Video light kit is perfect, I paired it with the light and it’s great, my kids are so happy, there are so many different colors! Easy to set up, the bag keeps everything in the best place!
Christian –
I really like how bright it is and the fact that it doesn’t create harsh shadows when used correctly. Packed in a nice bag, you can take it anywhere. The only problem is that I can’t download the app due to some website issues, but I don’t need it anyway.
Gary –
There are many of these lights available at great prices. I got these set up in no time and the wireless interconnection between them was very easy to get started. I like that they show Kelvin colors in the settings – easy for color matching later.
Henry –
I’ve purchased multiple lights, some with bluetooth ports and others with WiFi. When I contacted GVM support in the US, they gave me an option to choose the best interface I wanted and replaced the device.
Dick –
super easy to use
Augus –
We purchased this kit to use with the GVM 800D-RGB LED Studio 3-Video Light kit. Five lights are great for illuminating people and products! We highly recommend this kit, and remember to purchase the Angler Collapsible Softbox for 12×12 LED Lights.
Bartholomew –
This light is fantastic. It can be plugged in using battery power or using the provided adapter. But the battery is not included. The lamps have a temperature range of 3200 to 5600K and can also produce rainbow colour options using the controls on the back or using the GVM app. The light includes a strip door to help control the light patterns. With a few Sony batteries, I can use the light all day without worrying about running out of power. Another important feature of LED lights is that they generate very little heat.
Frederic –
I’ve used them on a few shoots so far and they’re all great. Granted, they may not be the most durable or the most powerful, but for the price, you’re getting great value for money. Some settings aren’t as progressive as others have said, but overall I’m happy with the purchase.
Wright –
I just got my light kit and I’m so happy. Like other reviews have said, these lights are for budget-conscious professionals, but are a great option for any project that requires the flexibility, color variation, and phone light control of a professional light. Also, Ken’s tech support was knowledgeable and fast with no waiting time and resolved my issue immediately.
Greg –
Perfect lighting for small studios, YouTube and some smaller studios.Film Production. Very easy to use and set up. Color quality at RGB settings or 3200-5600 is very good. I find it worth the money.

Julius –
Compact light with its own case. Very adjustable in terms of color, hue, brightness, etc. Great value for money for any level of photography skills. Enable the application to allow remote adjustment.
Daniel –
I bought these to create video content and they have served their purpose. I love that I am able to choose between different lighting options. The tripod on the lamp is sturdy, and as far as I can tell, the lamp is well constructed.
Will –
This is a well made product. It has a hard outer carrying case, so you’ll feel like it’s well protected when you have to take it somewhere. The control panel has a lot of different lighting options, so it’s very customizable. You can change the hue, tint and brightness. Four barn door openings mean you can direct the light where you want to go. Overall, very satisfied with this product.
Abel –
I have used these before and just bought a pair for myself. They are nice and bright, good RGB lights would recommend
Robin –
These lights are great value for money. For the price, they’re bright and the colors are more saturated than expected.
Luther –
These are included in most of our targeting kits. We beat them and they still work. Highly recommended.
Ben –
There’s a lot of rubbish out there, and it’s nice to receive what I think is a well-made product. Items are well packaged and building materials are very good. The lights are steady. They work as advertised. The stand is made of stronger metal than you’ll see on similar lamps. Overall I am very satisfied and have purchased 6 more for our production kit.
Isaac –
This is a great compact lighting fixture that works great in my small studio/office. They provide enough lighting for my video production needs, with fully adjustable dials to control color temperature and light intensity.
Francis –
Having a daylight lighting option is perfect, but also including RGB lighting makes this kit perfect for more experimentation. The actual bracket itself may be stronger with the screws, but nothing too worrisome. Overall, this is a great starter kit.
Harry –
Great light for the price. We bought some other light sets before and ended up returning them, but will definitely keep them. They are great for product photography.
Marsh –
Bright and easy to use. Well built.
Edward –
We work from home and spend a lot of time on Zoom. This light is just what we need.
Baldwin –
These lights have a variety of functions and are neatly packaged in the provided housing. This is exactly what I needed to upgrade from an incandescent clip on a floodlight to something affordable.
Troy –
These lights are a great deal! They work amazing for what I need. I am very happy and will recommend these to anyone looking for a lighting kit.
Alexander –
This lamp is the best value for money. I already have a 520S bi-color and want RGB. Headlights, affordable and professional.
Dave –
I love everything about these lights. They’re bright, very useful, and fully controllable from an app on your phone/iPad. My lighting is better than I thought it would be (and I never shoot with lights). They work out of the box. Find great tutorials on YouTube and you’ll be using these lights like a pro in no time.
Baron –
Great product. It brightens up the areas we need at night. This product is very user friendly. Having one light panel control the functions of other panels makes things easier.One of the three light panels showed screen damage during shipping, but they shipped replacement panels in time. So overall it was a good experience.
Wright –
I am new to lighting and this lamp was recommended to me. I can’t say enough about how easy it is to use and how good it is. The customer service is also top notch and they went out of their way to help me. Highly recommend this lamp from this company!
Hilary –
Trouble-free work
Nick –
Initially, there were some misunderstandings, but after discussing with the seller, the seller went the extra mile to get things done for me at no extra cost. Although there was some delay, the seller managed to do it, for which I am very thankful and grateful to the seller. The seller also communicated well with me. I would recommend buying from this seller.
Leo –
The lighting for my new video is great! This is a great professional lighting kit with app control! We have side lights and front lights which is very handy if you are just starting a video or photography business or you are an expert, the lighting kit comes with a carrying case, the app is very easy to use, brightness is easy even for non-experts control, RGB mode creates the best lighting for my needs!
Earl –
They’ll probably sell this for a higher price because it’s worth it. Wow! What a great lighting kit, not only for videography but a great addition to the lighting in my space. touching!
Bob –
I bought two sets. I bought the first one to use as lighting for a church youth group room. I like that the lights are RGB so I can set the colors to match our graphics. Super easy to use, we can set it up in 5 minutes.I also rented a photo studio and found that some of my guests could benefit from continuous lighting for their photos and videos, so I bought another kit! A few months after I bought it, one of the power cords seems to have shorted out and won’t work. I emailed GVM’s customer support a copy of the B&H receipt and they mailed me a replacement line! Very happy with this kit or GVM support!
Nicholas –
I’ve been a commercial photographer for 40 years and can tell you these little lights are great for desk work. I’ve always liked to use continuous lighting, but almost always use strobe lighting because continuous lighting produces so much heat. These are super cool. Also, any minor repairs to my strobe light outweigh the three light kits for these LED lights. You can’t beat that. There was a small problem with one of the lights when I received them, but it was replaced with no problem and shipped the same day! ! ! I will buy another set as my product setup usually requires more lights. Please rest assured to buy!
Andrew –
I purchased a GVM 800D and 560AS kit to start recording an online class. This is my first light kit and I am very happy with my purchase! I was also impressed by the way the kit was packaged, the product has a dust bag for not only the lights but also the stand. It also works for my recordings while traveling.
Dean –
One of the best purchases I’ve ever made will be buying three more
Herman –
These lights are amazing. I bought them and everything was almost perfect except the packaging was messed up. The lights change in a 360-degree wheel on the app. Any color you want will do. In my YouTube studio, I use 1 light for white daylight and the other 2 lights are colored to illuminate the background. It gives it a very nice effect. My YouTube videos are 100x better now and I feel like I will grow on this investment. I highly recommend buying this light kit. Don’t be cheap on lights.
Arnold –
This is perfect for the lighting I need to provide. Versatile in various settings and comes with a very nice travel case. Carefully designed to facilitate every situation. Works with a battery pack if you need to move around, but hardwires are great for stationary situations. A great scaler unit.
Lyndon –
I have a few now and can’t say enough good things about them. Value for money.
Arno –
When you’re watching videos all day, using a ring light with glasses can interfere with other people’s viewing. If you delay these lights correctly, you can eliminate reflections when you wear glasses and watch videos.
Jason –
I received them earlier than expected and I love them, they are sleek, compact and easy to install! highly recommended! !
Barret –
I have a lot of lights from different companies, but these are my first GVMs. I love them so much I bought six and use them every day. Best value for continuous lights and a wide range of uses. The cases they come with are pretty good. The light stand is sturdy. The item description doesn’t say it, but the manual says the CRI is 97+ and the colors in daylight mode are great I believe.
Julian –
Amazing lighting. I used some other lights in Brazil, some simple ones, and now everything has changed. I can control every color and color space for my shots. I use it almost every day in my projects. thanks.
Simon –
Having lights is great for making videos. I have a problem with one of my lights. I contacted the manufacturer/seller directly and their response has been excellent. They gave me a replacement right away. Thank you GVM!
Elijah (verified owner) –
I love the amount of control I have over these lights, being able to change the color from my phone is very convenient, and they’re bright as well. The lights are more learned than they look and have withstood such harsh freezing weather, but take care of them and they will last a while.
Cecil –
I set up a studio.These lights make my video quality very good!

Robert –
Connects to your phone for color control. Love it.
Tyler –
I bought 4 of them. It does a great job. I am very happy.
Jim –
I sell plants on Etsy and even shoot in a greenhouse where the light isn’t always ideal, especially in winter. This is when I bring my studio lights. The GVM 800-D replaces basic studio lights and boy, what a big upgrade. I like that you can adjust the temperature using the digital readout on the back. This is very important depending on the time of year or the location of the shoot. The dimmer is also great, but it only moves in 5% increments. This might take some time, so I’ll just keep it on the higher end. The only complaint is the carrying case/protective bag. It’s a bit of a pain to put it in, but I rarely use it anyway.
Christopher –
The GVM 800D-RGB LED Studio Video Light seems like a good product in this price range. I’m not a video professional, so I may not use the full potential of the light, but it will serve my needs well. The mobile app has bad reviews, so I didn’t bother to use it. I used the controls on the back of the light and it worked fine for my needs.
Justin –
Lighting can be changed for live scenes. Can be battery powered.
Winston –
I think these lights are worth the price. They are really smart and you get what you pay for. The only annoying thing is having to plug them in. I just bought the batteries so they can be carried around. The lights are great! Definitely recommend them.
Basil –
I’m a novice photographer so trying to add soft lighting when the room is dark. It comes in a soft bag that covers the light, followed by a soft/hard case. It doesn’t have poles for standing, so you’ll need to add those. If you’re making one of the different scenes in a video you want, such as disco, etc., the different modes seem interesting. Looks well made and sturdy. The barn door is plastic and looks flimsy, but anyone who has used this device knows how to handle it properly.
Colin –
Excellent photography light. And a variety of different shades of light. Recommend to anyone.
Jacob –
Very satisfied with this. The RGB color capabilities have proven to be one of my favorite aspects of this light, and I use it for nearly every shoot. Overall would highly recommend, great value for money
Addison –
It does exactly what I need. Lighting the scene two is enough
Theodore –
I carry this light with me to complement my other lights. I love this bag and how easy they are to use.
Jeffrey –
You’ll get the following two: lights, posts, power and poles. They all pack nicely in a convenient carrying case to take the system with you anywhere. You can use one or two lights. When using two lights, you can control both lights from one panel. There’s a mobile app for control, and even some special effects, making these possible for use as a DJ or stage light.

Sean –
🙂 very nice, thanks a lot
Taylor –
Lighting kits are great for a variety of background color schemes. Lighting can be adjusted effortlessly. The lamp does not take up much space and can be easily stored.
Augustine –
The ability to change the frequency of light by turning the knob vrs to insert a filter is great on its own, but having a continuous frequency change instead of just the filter hard stop frequency is really useful. The lights can also be operated by batteries or alternating current. This makes it very easy to set up without having to worry about us routing the AC line’s power. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
Vincent –
Excellent product. The RGB quality is very good and very bright. It’s a great tool for music videos, youtube videos, very creative portraits and many other things.
Tony –
Works great love it
Aaron –
I do a lot of music video work and usually rent RGB lights for my shoots. I decided to buy these lights and give this brand a try as it seems affordable and has the RGB capabilities and scene effects I usually need.Happy to say that everything worked as advertised and the app was easy to get up and running.I found no issues with the quality of the light, these are great for small crews because they’re not heavy, they pair quickly with apps, and you can adjust color temperature, tint, brightness, and special scenes from your phone.My only downside is that they’re not crazy, if I’m shooting in a bigger space, I’d need more punch. Considering their size and price, the quality it offers is still a good deal.I’m a fan of this brand now and will probably consider buying the 1200D for more lighting power.
Antonio –
For professional still photographers and starting to get into video, these lights are the best. Great light, well made, out of the box, in minutes. Love the fact that they come with a stand and case.
Angelo –
I designed these lights for photography and video projects. I was not disappointed. They are easy to set up and the quality of the lights and stand seems great. I love that you can adjust the colors, it totally opens up more things we can do with them! I ended up taking great pictures of my foster kittens with the lights and boy did it work! They were adopted quickly and I keep getting compliments on the wonderful photos I took! Mine stands out compared to others and it’s all thanks to these studio lights! Highly recommend them! I like that it comes with a case that keeps everything safe and compact.
Victor –
These lights are perfect for home video/photography studios as well as outdoors in different environments. They can be powered using a battery pack (sold separately) or plugged into the wall. You can download an app to control brightness and color settings. Keep in mind that the app still needs some work. Don’t let apps stop you. These are really great lights.
Eric –
This is a great compact lighting fixture that works great in my small studio. They provide enough lighting for my video production needs, with fully adjustable dials to control color temperature and light intensity.The tripod is lightweight and can be extended quite high.Overall, the presentation of the product is good. It comes with a nice padded/soft tote bag to store everything. When opening it,Everything looks organized and protected in individual felt bags, so they are in a good setting.

Jeremy –
I’ve taken pictures with the GVM-800D a few times. It’s a very durable light and it’s easy to set up. It emits plenty of light, and by tweaking it, I can get the right light configuration. I like how portable it is so I can take it anywhere, and it comes with 2 battery charging slots, making sure you don’t get bogged down waiting for a charge either. I would recommend it to anyone looking for great results with a simple setup..
Angelo –
I love these lights. I bought the first set for our youth ministry so we could add color to our space with lights. I love how easily we can change the colors weekly to match our series graphics. Setting up and breaking down for volunteers is super easy in our mobile church. Then I bought another set for my studio. I’m a photographer, but I have videographers who rent my studio and want to have some continuous LED lights for them to use since I only have flash. I used them for video first and they were perfect!
Michael –
Wow. Wow. As an amateur photographer, I’m a little hesitant to spend so much on lightning because I’m not entirely sure about the benefits of doing so, or if my skill level can afford the experience needed to get lighting right in my photos . After being recommended by friends in the industry, I can confidently say that my skill level or any skill level can easily grasp the ease of use of these.
Eden –
Great light and the kit is nice and small. They also shine a lot for the price.
Dennis –
We were in line to buy some Aperture lights, but they were backordered. We decided to give them a try, they were more than enough for our needs! We are a church building a movie studio during Covid and these lights make all the difference. I am most impressed with the output size ratio, they are super compact and easy to transport. We may end up ordering two more to replenish these.
Marsh –
I absolutely love these lights…
Antonio –
These great little lights are great value for money! They hold off a lot of light for their size, and built-in effects and wifi are a great set of features for more creative control!

It’s the perfect lighting for photography or streaming. App controls perfectly control the lights without having to go back to the lights. We use it for streaming and photography, party and disco setups are great for online DJing. No matter what lighting your photos require, it has all the settings you need. It can dim as much as you need it to need less light, or it can be as bright as you need it if you need more light. Need light color for nice effect, you can control Hue/AST/CTT. No matter what lighting you need, this is perfect. It comes with its own carrying case for easy portability.
Bowen –
For the Star Trek fan movie I shot in Georgia, I used the GVM RGB lighting kit to project the colors onto the background wall. Vibrant colors are perfect for this app StarTrek Lighting is all about color.
Tobias –
I set up a studio. These lights make my video quality very good!
Leopold –
These are included in most of our targeting kits. We beat them and they still work. Highly recommended.
Barry –
As someone who’s just getting into photography and can’t yet afford high-end lights, these are great value!
Robert –
I’m a fan of this brand now and will probably consider buying the 1200D for more lighting power.
Brady –
I got this for my high school radio class. It’s easy to teach and students to use. It immediately added higher production value to their videos.
Victor –
Very affordable and portable lighting kit. Very easy to install and remove when traveling. The RGB and LED lights work well with controls on the back of each light, and apps with limited functionality. Others said they were unhappy because the barn door wouldn’t open when it was mounted on a tripod. Instead of mounting vertically, they have a through hole in the collar so they can be mounted horizontally. Installing them this way will give the user more flexibility and get the most out of the barn door. I will be ordering another set in the near future.
Kevin –
I’ve shot so many videos with these lights and never had a problem. I love different colors because it allows me to be creative. good price! You will get a bank for your money!
Meredith –
They are suitable for normal small lighting situations or added to larger lighting setups.
Darren –
I’ve purchased multiple lights, some with bluetooth ports and others with WiFi. When I contacted GVM support in the US, they gave me an option to choose the best interface I wanted and replaced the device.
Abraham –
My son decided to get into photography so I picked this studio set for him and he loves it. Everything you need is in the box and it’s easy to set up. It also stores well in a travel case. Great value for money!
Philip –
These lights are easy to use and do a really good job. Since the apps on the phone work so well, they are very easy to set up and navigate. I was set up within minutes. They are made of high quality as I can see them last a long time. These lights come with a handy storage bag, making these lights easy to store and transport. I use them mostly for my kids when they make YouTube videos and I highly recommend these lights!
Hogan –
Perfect lighting for small studios, YouTube and some smaller studios
Film Production. Very easy to use and set up. Color quality at RGB settings or 3200-5600 is very good. I find it worth the money.
Donald –
Two added bonuses – the RGB capability allows me to use them in the field to take some pictures, and the GVM support works well when I need to replace parts (my fault – not a device issue.)
Jerry –
Very happy with the GVM 800D-RGB light kit we purchased. They were easy to order, arrived quickly and the customer service couldn’t be better.
Lyndon –
Great for home production video kits or small photo shoots. The lights in the house are a bit dim, which helps brighten it up, the LEDs take a little time to heat up, but the same goes for taking pictures for the kids. Comes with 3 adapters, power cord and stand. The carrying case is very convenient and helps with storage
Marcus –
I have these lights so I can add some color to my portraits, and some lightweight portable lights that do a great job when I’m shooting outside. They fit my needs perfectly, and the user interface is simple and intuitive. Plus, its case is surprisingly good quality, as are the small pouches for the light stand and the light itself. Really great price. The only thing you can say about this set is that the light stands are a bit low budget, but if you use them mostly in your studio (or home studio/garage/whatever) they are fine. If you’re at the fence, get off the fence and get these lights.Side note, if you’re throwing a party or just like general colored lights, these also have a party mode where the lights just flash different colors, which is pretty cool.
Alexander –
I purchased this light kit to upgrade my old outdated light kit and I am very happy with it. Ease of setup, application control, and the ability to slave lights together make it even more advantageous. I highly recommend this product.
Herbert –
I really like this lamp. Help me make my videos and photos so professional.
Dick –
I am new to lighting and this lamp was recommended to me. I can’t say enough about how easy it is to use and how good it is. The customer service is also top notch and they went out of their way to help me. Highly recommend this lamp from this company!
Elijah –
For the price, these lights are great. I do short documentary interviews that fit the bill perfectly. Their power won’t blind anyone, but I shoot mostly indoors, and for white light settings I usually use 50% brightness. For a splash of color, I did increase it to 75-100%, depending on the color.
Bluetooth is almost useless. Using the knob on the back requires less effort than using the app, since you can only connect one light at a time.
But the knob is easy. I usually need less than 5 minutes to configure them for any scene I want.
Hugo –
I do a lot of music video work and usually rent RGB lights for my shoots. I decided to buy these lights and give this brand a try as it seems affordable and has the RGB capabilities and scene effects I usually need.
Happy to say that everything worked as advertised and the app was easy to get up and running.
I found no issues with the quality of the light, these are great for small crews because they’re not heavy, they pair quickly with apps, and you can adjust color temperature, tint, brightness, and special scenes from your phone.
My only downside is that they’re not crazy, if I’m shooting in a bigger space, I’d need more punch. Considering their size and price, the quality it offers is still a good deal.

Tiffany –
I like to shoot with natural light, but that’s not always an option or best for the situation. This GVM kit is an excellent, easy-to-use system that helps when the sun, moon or city lights don’t cooperate.
Paddy –
I like the fact that these lights can be plugged into an outlet or run on batteries. A small area suitable for interviews.
Hubery –
If you’re a content creator or treat your device well, you’ll love this kit. The build quality is what I consider Pro-Sumer grade, I don’t move my lights and it’s fantastic for me.
Gordon –
I bought two sets. I bought the first one to use as lighting for a church youth group room. I like that the lights are RGB so I can set the colors to match our graphics. Super easy to use, we could set it up in 5 minutes. I also rented a photo studio and found that some of my guests could benefit from continuous lighting for their photos and videos, so I bought another kit! A few months after I bought it, one of the power cords seems to have shorted out and won’t work. I emailed GVM’s customer support a copy of the B&H receipt and they mailed me a replacement line! Very happy with this kit or GVM support!
Daniel –
I have several sets of these lights for my middle and high school video programs. They are always available and durable enough to withstand children using them all the time.
Sam –
Great lightweight lighting kit, bought rechargeable batteries++++

Steven –
When you’re doing a simple interview or filming indoors, sometimes you have to light yourself up. It is satisfying to use because it is light and takes up less space even when moved alone. And the power cord is very long, so it is very convenient to not need an extension cord.
Ellis –
I am a performer and content creator. In the early days of the pandemic, I had to do more work from home. That’s when I bought this light kit. It’s integral to my work creating music videos, comedy videos and even the puppet show I’m developing for network TV…all from home.I’m pretty new to taking charge of my own lighting and this kit makes it easy for me to dive in. I do have issues navigating the app, but it’s never necessary for what I’m doing. Check out @jomiray on instagram to see them in action.
Lambert –
When I purchased these, I was completely skeptical. Set up reliable 3-point lighting at this cost! ? I seriously budgeted 3-4 times. However, I think at this price point, even if they only last a few shots, they’re worth a try. After multiple purchases and uses, I am extremely happy.I can’t believe the build quality and range of functionality these lights offer. They’re much brighter than I expected, and they feel pretty solid. The included stand is also durable enough for frequent use. I’ve used them 10 times so far and I haven’t had any issues. I mainly use them for the two-color function, but use the RGB function to add color to the background of some photos and it works great! Switching between the two functions is very easy and the controls are very intuitive!
Francis –
My wife and I both own event and conference companies, and I purchased this set to turn my home office into a video studio for us to use when it becomes clear that things won’t be back to normal anytime soon. The lighting has been flawless for the past 8 months, allowing us to effectively pre-record and live stream while we wait for the world to recover.
Will –
very good. There’s an easy quick setup for some still photos, they work really well and are easy to navigate.
Ted –
I carry this light with me to complement my other lights. I love this bag and how easy they are to use.
Andrew –
Well packaged and more than that. The lighting quality is good and really helped us bring a better quality to our scene. He had to get more light for our application because we need a lot of light, which you might consider if you want to light a larger space, but overall we’re very happy with this product
Tyler –
OMG! I love this light kit! The instructions are simple but thorough. I use these lights with a white background for my author avatars. The assembly is compact and ideal for use on the go. I’m excited to see what other artworks I’ve created with this perfect light
Greg –
This is the first RGB lighting system I’ve purchased and I love them. I got the three light kit and added a softbox as my main light. The app to control them from your phone is great and easy to learn. Just realised these might not be made for experienced big budget professional videographers as they are affordable and have a lot of plastic parts like barn doors and light holder clips that can easily break so be extra careful with them and you will It’s fine. highly recommended!
Julian –
the lights are amazing.I highly recommend to anyone
Jason –
Recently, my husband started streaming and making videos of our kids. He needs a lighting system because our office is a little dark. These are amazing! Use the provided case, which is compact and easy to store and carry, but also easy to use and set up. Definitely recommend for anyone just starting out with photography or personal video
Adam –
I just got my light kit and I’m very happy. Like other reviews have said, these lights are for budget-conscious professionals, but they’re a great option for any project that requires the flexibility, color variation, and phone light control of a professional light. Also, Ken’s tech support was knowledgeable and fast, no waiting time, and resolved my issue immediately.
Troy –
I really like how bright it is and the fact that it doesn’t create harsh shadows when used correctly. Packed in a nice bag to take anywhere. The only problem is that I can’t download the app due to some website issues, but I don’t need it anyway.
Neil –
🙂 very nice, thanks a lot
Hale –
Mainly use these lights for audition videos. Small enough to pack in a suitcase and take to another location. Powerful enough to illuminate almost any situation where one or two people are the main focus. GVM is really killing the game with their LED products. The lights connected to the app can be adjusted very easily without turning the knob on the back. Highly recommended.
Leo –
Headlights, easy to use
Henry –
I absolutely love these lights…
Isaac –
I broke a barn door and I’m about to buy a new one. But instead, they helped me and replaced it immediately! The lighting works great, glad I made the right choice!
Lester –
There are many of these lights available at great prices. I got these set up in no time and the wireless interconnection between them was very easy to get started. I like that they show Kelvin colors in the settings – easy for color matching later.
Bing –
This light is fantastic. It can be plugged in using battery power or using the provided adapter. But the battery is not included. The lamps have a temperature range of 3200 to 5600K and can also produce rainbow colour options using the controls on the back or using the GVM app. The light includes a strip door to help control the light patterns. With a few Sony batteries, I can use the light all day without worrying about running out of power. Another important feature of LED lights is that they generate very little heat.
Maxwell –
I’m a film student in Canada building my own small lighting kit for shows and personal projects and so far I’m very happy with the lights. Even in USD/CAD, these are some of the best priced RGB LED sets I could find, with great reviews and pretty quick delivery.
The only downside for me is that with the softbox installed, the light can’t be tilted down far enough, but I’ve been able to fix it so far. Also, the shade might look a little shaky, but that can be fixed by adding extra diffusing gel.
Carl –
This studio light is a great asset for professional photographers and even beginners. Provides high-quality artificial studio lighting, ideal for portraiture. It has various settings and color options. Comes with a premium zippered case for storage. Light stand not included.
Nicholas –
Great for freelance photography and video shooting. Compact and easy to carry.
Vic –
We work from home and spend a lot of time on Zoom. This light is just what we need.
Thomas –
This is a lightweight set for a quick and easy-to-carry setup.They complement my main lights but can be used on their own for intimate shots. These stands are a bit flimsy, but the lights are strong and well made. The light output of the small lights is very good, and the RBG gives me the option to add color accents to the scene. For the price, you get unbeatable value.
Geoffrey –
Bright and easy to use. Well built.
Barton –
There’s a lot of rubbish out there, and it’s nice to receive what I think is a well-made product. Items are well packaged and building materials are very good. The lights are steady. They work as advertised. The stand is made of stronger metal than you’ll see on similar lamps. Overall I am very satisfied and have purchased 6 more for our production kit.
Haley –
Great deal from BH I wasn’t disappointed with the variety of gear and accessories I bought through there, thank you so much BH
Alfred –
Great light and the kit is nice and small. They also shine a lot for the price.
Murphy –
These lights are great value for money. For the price, they’re bright and the colors are more saturated than expected.
Luther –
I designed these lights for photography and video projects. I was not disappointed. They are easy to set up and the quality of the lights and stand seems great. I love that you can adjust the colors, it totally opens up more things we can do with them! I ended up taking great pictures of my foster kittens with the lights and boy did it work! They were adopted quickly and I keep getting compliments on the wonderful photos I took! Mine stands out compared to others and it’s all thanks to these studio lights! Highly recommend them! I like that it comes with a case that keeps everything safe and compact.
Sandy –
Having lights is great for making videos. I have a problem with one of my lights. I contacted the manufacturer/seller directly and their response has been excellent. They gave me a replacement right away. Thank you GVM!

Hardy –
I have a few now and can’t say enough good things about them. Value for money.
Derrick –
Inexpensive bright RGB LED lights. buy another one. Thanks to B&H for fast shipping
Julius –
I’ve shown the versatility of this light many times. I’ve achieved dramatic effects in my videos using RGB settings (purple, blue, yellow, red), and I’ve used variations of white for key/fill lighting in various scenes. wifi control is good. That said, it’s also pretty easy to adjust light settings using the light controls. I used the lights with the included power adapter and generic NP-F batteries.
Kennedy –
I love everything about these lights. They’re bright, very useful, and fully controllable from an app on your phone/iPad. My lighting is better than I thought it would be (and I never shoot with lights). They work out of the box. Find great tutorials on YouTube and you’ll be using these lights like a pro in no time.
Michell –
Excellent product. The RGB quality is very good and very bright. It’s a great tool for music videos, youtube videos, very creative portraits and many other things.
Oliver –
These lights are absolutely perfect for indoor and outdoor use, very effective I got it 5 times to start
Simon –
Wow. Wow. As an amateur photographer, I’m a little hesitant to spend so much on lightning because I’m not entirely sure about the benefits of doing so, or if my skill level can afford the experience needed to get lighting right in my photos . After being recommended by friends in the industry, I can confidently say that my skill level or any skill level can easily grasp the ease of use of these.
Bartholomew –
Initially, there were some misunderstandings, but after discussing with the seller, the seller went the extra mile to get things done for me at no extra cost. Although there was some delay, the seller managed to do it, for which I am very thankful and grateful to the seller. The seller also communicated well with me. I would recommend buying from this seller.
Gilbert –
I think these lights are worth the price. They are really smart and you get what you pay for. The only annoying thing is having to plug them in. I just bought the batteries so they can be carried around. The lights are great! Definitely recommend them.
August –
These are included in most of our targeting kits. We beat them and they still work. Highly recommended.
Joyce –
This is the perfect light for me. It has a variety of settings and lights, making it perfect for on-the-go. I will definitely buy accessories and accessories. The suitcase allowed us to use it for auditions and photos on the go.
Elvis –
I sell plants on Etsy and even shoot in a greenhouse where the light isn’t always ideal, especially in winter. This is when I bring my studio lights. The GVM 800-D replaces basic studio lights and boy, what a big upgrade. I like that you can adjust the temperature using the digital readout on the back. This is very important depending on the time of year or the location of the shoot. The dimmer is also great, but it only moves in 5% increments. This might take some time, so I’ll just keep it on the higher end. The only complaint is the carrying case/protective bag. It’s a bit of a pain to put it in, but I rarely use it anyway.
Jim –
I’ve taken pictures with the GVM-800D a few times. It’s a very durable light and it’s easy to set up. It emits plenty of light, and by tweaking it, I can get the right light configuration. I like how portable it is so I can take it anywhere, and it comes with 2 battery charging slots, making sure you don’t get bogged down waiting for a charge either. I would recommend it to anyone looking for great results with a simple setup..
Sean –
I bought these to create video content and they have served their purpose. I love that I am able to choose between different lighting options. The tripod on the lamp is sturdy, and as far as I can tell, the lamp is well constructed.
Christopher –
You’ll get the following two: lights, posts, power and poles. They all pack nicely in a convenient carrying case to take the system with you anywhere. You can use one or two lights. When using two lights, you can control both lights from one panel. There’s a mobile app for control, and even some special effects, making these possible for use as a DJ or stage light.
Baron –
This is not suitable for professional work, but it will perform well and help you if you are on a low budget or otherwise. Highly recommended for beginner videographers
