Every single time I want to use my Lume Cube the battery is dead and I have to charge it first. The manufacturer says that's a "feature", because the (totally useless) Bluetooth connectivity sucks the battery dry. Compounding the problem, it's got a USB-C plug, but it won't charge from a C charger, only from an A-to-C cable.The "standard" 1/4-20 tripod threaded hole on the bottom is so shallow that no actual standard tripod screw will work in it -- you need a thick washer as a shim. Manufacturer also claims this is a feature.Once you wait and hour for it to charge,and figure out how to get it mounted, it works fairly well as a light. Buttons are a bit fiddly, and it's about 2X too "smart" for it's own good.Every time I use it I'm more angry about it than the last time. I actively wish everyone at this company ill.

For small scale or up close photography, these little guys can’t be beat. The light simple design, the ability to easily switch between gels, shutters, diffusers, etc is just a dream come true. I honestly regret not buying them sooner.

These lights are great for portability, brightness, and a nice range of accessories. Are they worth the price, considering there are many cheaper alternatives? It depends what you are using them for, and the demands you will place on them. They are very durable, and supposedly water-proof, although I have yet to test that claim.Why a 3-star rating? I think the price of the kit is a bit steep, for what you get. Also, my "kit" seemed to be used on arrival. A couple of the color gels were scuffed up, one of the magnets from the filters was out and loose, and the diffusion filter had a dark scuff across it. Not the greatest quality control. I e-mailed the company about it, was promptly and politely responded to by "Jack", who said not only would they send out replacements for the damaged items, but they would replace all the filters. I was delighted. After a follow-up with Jack (the items had not originally been sent), I received replacement filters in a very timely manner.All in all, the LumeCube 2-light kit is a good investment if you need durable, waterproof, Bluetooth, etc. If all you need is a bright, rechargeable LED light, there are other options better suited to your needs and budget.

Pas encore testé sur le terrain, mais je peux déjà dire que les frames ne passent pas sur les cubes...J'ai été obligée de poncer à l'intérieur pour pouvoir les mettre...J'ai aussi des soucis d'appairage Bluetooth. Mes cubes refusent de se connecter.

The light's compact size, light weight and diffuser options make it really usable in lower light and nighttime conditions. Battery needs to be charged before a shoot. Left on for a long time, it can get pretty warm. I like the stepped brightness options. I'd take extra precautions if you were going to use it underwater, like a light application of silicone grease around the rubber cap. Mine came packed with the wrong diffuser. I contacted Lumecube and they sent me a package of two by two-day mail. Very impressive.

I'm not going to repeat product description here. IMO it's all true - great quality built, quality light etc. There is one caveat I want you to know which is not anywhere in the description or their website. Lume Cube can only be charged with USB-A to USB-C cable like the one supplied with it. It can not be charged with USB-C to USB-C cable. No matter what your source of power is. Though you can charge it from devices with USB-C outputs using A to C cable and male C to female A adaptor. It is not a dealbreaker for me, but I wish I knew it beforehand.

I'm not a fan of LED panels for photography. But in a pinch sometimes you need a little help with light. I've shot in clubs where it was so dark AF assist wasn't working particularly well. These little guys come in handy for low light and for multiple other situations. They can be great at weddings for an extra boost of light when shooting the rings and they add fun to certain shoots. They encourage me to be more creative. They've helped also in some of the basic video work I do. I've been having fun with these. They are VERY well made. They have some weight to them. A great build and easy functions. All the accessories I bought are very well made, too. The app works great. Very simple. I shoot concerts, models, portraits, street, and nature. These have been in my bag since I got them. Helpful and fun.

First off, I like these Lume Cubes.Brightness is decent. Size is good. Battery life is decent. Accessories are useful. The carry case and the way everything fits inside is spectacular. The magnet attach system is easy. Versatility is great, especially in wet conditions. Portability is spectacular. Charging is easy. Build quality is strong.Price.... is kind of high, all things considered and I knocked off 2 stars from Value for the money category. I scratched my head about the advantages of these versus 2 small Cree XP-L flashlights @ $36 each.Sold individually, these Lume Cubes are around $90 each.At the time of my purchase, this 22 piece Pro kit was $225, making the accessories about $45. At this price I would have given 5 stars IF it came with 2 metal tripods similar to the Feiyutech ones you see in my picture. (minus 1 star)Now the price of the Pro set is a staggering $300!! (minus the second star)As is, I don't believe that the Pro kit is worth more than $200. If it came with the tripods I mentioned then I think that $225 - $250 would be reasonable. $300 is off the charts expensive.The main advantages of these over the Cree flashlights is that you can run these while plugged in for continuous use, the smaller size and shape are a bit easier to work with, the flashlights are not easily mounted or positioned if doing mushroom macro or bugs, and perhaps the color spectrum, although this can be easily adjusted for in-camera. However, the plug in advantage only helps if you are near a power source, not an advantage in the field.Would I buy this again? NOT at the new price.Would I recommend it to a friend? NOT at the new price.I hope this review helps,Thanks from Chicago

Awesome little waterproof and solid built lightweight light 👌 cannot fault the build quality. However it does come at a cost that I find a bit steep.
