The range goes from 0 to 100 ra where 100 is as close to real life as possible (Day light). The letters means Color Rendering Index, in essence this means how close to real life you will see the objects colors when it’s lit with the light source. You might have seen this CRI value before, but what is it? The LumeCube menu is easy to navigate and gives the user a lot more options that the Panel Go, creating the colours you want is very easy and fast, but in the menu you can also access the special effects options of the RGB Panel Go including a police, fire, lighting, loop effect. I actually like that LumeCube gives usable numbers, you often see adds where led panels are advertised with for example an insane battery life of 13-15 hours, but when you look closely it’s on 1% output… and well I don’t think anyone will use it on 1% except maybe as a nightlight, but than there are much cheaper solutions.Ĭharging the panel is done via USB-c (I think this should be standard on all devices) and takes app 80 minutes for a full charge. The Panel Go used 112 leds and the new RGB panel Go now uses 210 leds.Īlso battery life has been improved from 1.3 hours on full power to 1.5 hours on full power and 2.3 hours on 50% to 2.5 hours on 50%. Where in the past I saw the smaller led panels really as video lights on location and the most important thing for me was long battery life on full brightness and the possibility to set the color temperature (of vital importance), my wishes has now changed more towards the realisation that what we always saw as “just” a video light can also be used creatively when it could also change colours for example……Īs mentioned before we loved the Panel Go, and LumeCube did a huge upgrade to this panel.Ĭompared to the Panel Go, the new RGB Panel has of course (as the name suggest) the option to change colours (later more), but they improved a lot more. And to be honest that also changed my opinion on what to buy a lot. with led panels/tubes was something that got me through most of the lack of photographing people. But as you know… I also love to shoot photos with led panels, especially during the lockdowns shooting action figures, guitars etc. Now we’ve used the Panel Go before this and it works like a charm on location for video light. LumeCube just released their new RGB Panel Go. So we were over the moon when the affordable led panels hit the market, but still it was a lot of carrying around, you needed power etc. Now don’t get me wrong, a good light quality is often achieved with a larger light source, but there is also a certain limit to what’s easy to use or just slows you down. I still remember the times when we started our YouTube channel, when we wanted light on location I needed to spend a lot of money and most of those sets where far from portable. Now why do I tell this.Ī good manufacturer always thinks about what the creators/users need, and will adjust the products to the demands from the market, this in my opinion the reason that some brands grow really fast into a household name and for me LumeCube is one of those companies. It’s no secret I like the products LumeCube releases.įor me it started with the LumeCube, a small cube with a punch, I love using it on a selfie stick for some interesting lighting effects/angles, but it’s also very nice to add some light in positions where you need something really small, and they even released a full accessory pack for the light.
