cheap chinese video light review

[MATTKINZ]

it looks dark as it is screwed into black flashlight body

if you look at the ad, you will notice it glows green.

Not a better switch. Beware.

You sure? I've seen dozens of the larger switches fail, but also see smaller switches with that texture in that photo work fine after years of use. Although I now see that the one I was referencing doesn't have little grooves in the middle like the chinese unbranded one.. Particularly this one:

Have you actually used this light? How good is it?

Have not tried it. Can't recommend because I haven't tried it. Probably better than these bigger garbage-tier switches though, which are known to last for like <100 dives:

That is te exact type of leaky switch on my lights. the plastic ring around is made of clear plastic and they have tiny LED's under it to light up when you switch it on.

Can I get a pic of your light, maybe a url of the product page? Outta curiosity.

 

[MATTKINZ]

no idea. a few years old. maybe the new switch is better. sure looks similar but the tovatec obviously has lasted enough to show wear on the flashlight.

Yes the switches all seem to be the weak point.
I prefer twist the housing type of switchs. But usually only gives on and off. And hard to find.

Lol they all turn off if you untwist it enough

Does anyone know the max input voltage for the LED driver on these? I know they run a 1s config, but usually the drivers have a wider range.
Thinking about picking up some and adapting for external power but would want to use a normal ~12v supply.

I know this is not a video light. But does anyone have experience with this style?
Looks like a nice switch, and no crazy flashing modes, very nice to charge, don't need to bring a separate charger,
There are some other cheaper one that don't have a USB port...
