[36°] Bought the light for outdoor video work in Alaska. Very, very often the weather is bad up here. Up till now I've had to carry a bunch of zip lock baggies to protect the lights. Now, the brick light, a handful of batteries and a carbon fiber tripod gives me a great light set up. At present I'm shooting a ski movie with this set up.

[3200 to 5600K] Nice solid feel. Great compact light.

[Proprietary] This light is very bright and powerful. I love its horizontal profile. It sits nicely on my zacuto have cage. I love that it works off d-tap as I have plenty of those batteries and you can run it for ages without worrying. The di-color feature is a bonus. It is not as heavy as other reviewers comment. It adds to the stability of your rig without adding to the bulk. It is an excellent addition to my kit.

[Passive] The Brick has a lot more punch than any on-camera light I've used. The dial in color temp could not be simpler, and the color is accurate. Only downside is that it is a little heavy - like a brick.

[2.35 lb] I worked as a chief photographer for a local news station for several years. This is the on-camera light I used for all 14 of our Sony PXW-X320s. Working in the southern U.S., it rains quite a lot and I never had to worry about this tough little light. The bi-color feature makes it wonderfully flexible. It does have some issue with properly blending the tungsten and daylight LEDs if you try to ride it on the very dimmest setting. Compared to how well this light works in every other aspect, this was a trivial issue to me. 

Concerning the included Elvid mount, I cant recommend that. It never properly supported the weight of the light. After about 3 months, the tightening screw had cut hole in what appeared to be soft metal. We transitioned to a Zecti brand mount but, unfortunately, that model has been discontinued. 


I highly recommend this light, especially if youre doing any kind of ENG work or stormchasing. I no longer work for the news but, Im definitely ordering this light for my new job.

[19 W (Maximum)] This power supply works as advertised. Very happy with it.

[Passive] I already have Litepanel Astra and B&H was having a deal on the Bi-Color Bricks. I have seen them in the field and decided to purchase one. This is a very powerful light, which is great! I like the placement of the power and adjust knobs as they are in perfect position to reach up while having camera on your shoulder. Unlike other lights with controls for each color temp, the two adjustments are brightness and color temp. I also like that while adjusting through the kelvin range it does not change the brightness of the light. Also being weatherproof is great as you can have it outside of your rain bag, or with two of these on stands you can do a standup hit and not worry about it being in the rain or snow. Being such a powerful and wide light, it easily can be used off camera as hair or even a fill light. It is heavier than other on-camera lights, but that is the trade off. The AC adapter that you can purchase is pretty pricey. I ordered an adjustable AC adapter and put on a female d-tap on it, which worked out to $27 and half hour of my time. Chimera even sells a softbox for this light.

[19 W (Maximum)] To me, the Brick Bi-color LED light is too big to use as an on camera light. By purchasing this AC adapter, I'm now able to use the Brick as a back or hair light on a boom stand, without worrying about battery power running down. With the AC adapter, the Brick light is perfect for this function. The AC adapter is small and light weight. It works just as it's supposed to.

[2.35 lb] Real professional On-Camera light .

[Proprietary] I've been looking for a robust led camera lights for years that will survive the travel + everything news gathering throws at it.

It's weather proof so fits nicely outside the rain slick. Great for storm chasing.

I like how it has two dials, one dimmer, one color temp. Where most panels have one dial for 3200k and one for 5600k which I find annoying if you want to knock the intensity down without changing the color temp

The rectangle size fits nicely above the fx mic so you can still slide the viewfinder in and out without it knocking the panel. Some thing I've found with allot the e square camera top panels

Weight- some of the reviews did initially turn me off. I can understand on a smaller camera it may be a bit off balance. On a bigger camera it's negligible and you adjust to it pretty quicky.

Diffuser - It fits over the entire light, so makes it a little bit bigger so I only put on when required

The light has good punch evenwhen just on 5600k in the day. It's well made, looks like it will last a decade and hopefully it actually does!
