For weeks, I’ve been putting the W140 RGB Video Light through its paces, testing its capabilities in various scenarios, from professional video shoots to casual TikTok recordings. This comprehensive review details my experience with this portable LED camera light panel, covering its features, performance, and overall value.

The W140 boasts a range of impressive features. The 0-360° full-color control, coupled with the ability to adjust color temperature from 2500K to 9000K, offers exceptional versatility. The 20 pre-set lighting effects are a welcome addition for quick and easy adjustments. The inclusion of HSI/CCT/Scenes Lighting Modes gives great control over the light. The build quality feels surprisingly robust for such a compact device, and the 3100mAh battery provides ample runtime for most tasks.

In terms of performance, the W140 delivers. The color rendering index (CRI) of 95+ ensures accurate color reproduction, crucial for both photography and videography. I found the light to be exceptionally bright at its maximum setting, while the dimming functionality allowed for precise control over the intensity. Battery life generally matched the advertised 2 hours at 100% brightness, slightly less at higher color temperatures. The silicone diffuser helps soften the light, eliminating harsh shadows and creating a more natural look. The light was easy to mount on various setups. I used it with my DSLR camera, a smartphone, and even a laptop during video conferences. It worked seamlessly in all scenarios.

While the light is bright, I did notice a slight decrease in brightness at the lower end of the color temperature spectrum (around 2500K), though it was still adequate for most situations. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, although the small buttons require a bit of precision. The light’s compact size is a huge plus, making it easy to transport and use on location.

Pros:

• Excellent color accuracy (CRI 95+)
• Versatile color temperature control (2500K-9000K)
• Wide range of lighting effects
• Long battery life (up to 15 hours at minimum brightness)
• Compact and portable design
• Easy to use and intuitive controls
• Durable build quality

Cons:

• Slightly reduced brightness at lower color temperatures
• Small control buttons might require some getting used to

Overall, the W140 RGB Video Light is a fantastic portable lighting solution. Its combination of features, performance, and affordability makes it a strong contender in its category. While there are minor drawbacks, the positives far outweigh the negatives. I highly recommend the W140 RGB Video Light to anyone needing a versatile and reliable light source for photography, videography, or video conferencing.
