⚡ QOTD: What kind of lighting do you currently use? Do you have a budgeting lighting recommendation? LMK! 👇👇👇
🔴 CORRECTION: At 1:30 I say the Neewer 176 Lights (the new version) are not cheaper than the old version. That is incorrect, at the time of shooting this video the new lights ARE CHEAPER that the older Neewer 160's (and better in my opinion as well).
Think Media I just bought like 5 lamps from IKEA for 10 dollars each
Nice - smart!
Think Media I still use a couple Clamp lights from Walmart. Im definitely wanting to upgrade this year
I have the 160 and it comes in VERY handy as I shoot at nightclubs which sometimes are not lit very well. I always get compliments on it and people think it's really expensive. It *is* however super bulky and takes up a lot of room in my bag, so I sometimes don't bring it along. So I think I will order the new one and also, of course, the battery packs.
Other than the bulk the 160 is fine and the same batteries have lasted me forever. I think I might have rechargable batteries in there - haven't had to check in over a year...
I don't have much on my channel but I'm gonna use natural lighting
Thanks for the video. I wish you would just do a "THIS IS ME WITH LIGHT A... THIS IS ME WITH LIGHT B... " etc. To me that's way more useful than a 12 minute video talking about things we can't even see.
The main issue I found with the CN160 light and similar ones is that the original batteries run out very quickly. If you're on a shoot over 20 minutes you have to remember to change batteries or the lighting progressively worsens during filming, which sucks. The plugin versions are better if you aren't mounting directly into the camera
SOFTBOX FOR 176: Hey Sean, thanks for another great video. I bought the 176 with soft box and charger at your recommendation and I'm very happy with the light. Just a note for your viewers, the softbox is made for the square edges of the 160. The 176 has rounded edges and so the softbox falls off. This can be easily remedied by adding some velcro to the sides which makes for a snug fit. Again, thanks for video and all your support of indie filmmakers.
I swear! This is the only light I dont have. Looks like amazon bout to take my money again. Thanks Sean!
You're welcome Dustin! 👊💯
I bought the old Neewer light from your link over a year ago. Here you go again spending my money for me.
I have autism!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wrong bro, the new one is twice the prices 50 dollars
your videos are helping my channel loads thanks
You're welcome!
Hey Sean, thanks for this video! I needed a better lighting solution without breaking the bank, and for Christmas my present to myself was the 176 Light, Wall Plug, Light Stand and Soft Box, all purchased through your affiliate links. I just upped my game big time so I can go "further, faster". Thank you!
Interesting! I will consider purchasing one .. I will support you always with your affiliate links!
Awesome - thanks for the support! 👊💯
you're most welcome!
You are a life saver, I am starting a channel but I want to work with what I have and your videos have been beyond helpful. Thank you so much!
Limo studio has one just like this except it comes with a rechargeable battery and a hard case for like $35.
nice - checking it out!
Good tip Andy! This kit is great from Limo... amzn.to/2kAFIBn ... It's the same light just branded and packaged by Limo. Great deal with a case and battery included.
Very informative..
Can I use this light on my Sony a7 or do I need adapter..?
Thanks
Would you recommend this light if i am shooting my videos with an iphone 6s? I have the Arkon tripod mount that you suggested in one of your other vides, if that will help with mounting the light at all.
Life Coach Jess: Did you ever try using a light like this with your smartphone? If so, do you have any experiences to report?
i think i almost coverd ur all videos
Hi dude
Which one is lighter weight?
Hi Sean - thanks for the information. I shot a night video a few days ago, and these seem perfect for what I'm doing outside in the dark...by myself!! ;-) The outside Christmas shoot was a perfect example of the utility of these lights. And the new ones are indeed less expensive than the older version. I also like that the lights are around the 5000K temperature and come with a diffuser. All the best, Cheers Rick God Bless
Hi mate. Could you please let US know how do you Mount the neewer diffuser on 176. I found it very tricky due to round shape on the outside So the light is basicaly pushed into the diffuser...
Was just about to make the same comment.
Just order products 1-4. Thanks so much Sean. As a new UA-camr, I can’t tell you how helpful this information is. Truly appreciate you. 👍🏾
I love all your videos! I am a small youtube channel trying to upgrade and create better content. I have been watching several of your videos getting ideas. Thank you so much!
Hi, I am aspiring beauty blogger in India . I was just got through your videos. Do you thinking these lights will work during night shoots? When natural light is not there...
The adapter posted is unavailable on almost every website, is there another adapter I can buy to charge the 176? Thanks :)
Another great video with budget tips ! Thanks Sean for sharing !
I was about to order some Aputure lights from B&H, but you saved me some bucks! Thanks man! See u at NAB!
Thanks, very clear and very instructuve comparative !
I have the Neewer CN-216, that was a 35 USD.. That is like a super nova
Does that mount where the mic mounts. When I start UA-cam I will need a mic :/
got the CN 160 light kits with extra batt and wall adapter. i got also a diffuser (soft box).
The Neewer 5.9x6.7 inches/15x17 centimeters Camera Collapsible Diffuser Mini Softbox for CN-160, CN-126 and CN-216 LED Light. super kit.
I compared the two and thought the CN-160 was a tiny bit brighter. Possibly because of the reflective material behind the bulbs? The PT-176 has a black material. Yet I returned the 160 to Amazon and kept the 176. I am going to miss the battery level indicator and AA battery option. But, the LED screen (allowing multiple kits to match intensity), 1/4-20 mount, size, power outlet, and price were deciding factors. Good review.
The 176 is not available.
What about the Neewer CN-216?
LimoStudio 176 pcs LED Light for DSLR Camera Camcorder Continuous Light, Battery and Charger, Hard Carry Case Photography Photo Video Studio, AGG1830

Sean, as often, excellent vidéo. I loved the accessory panel because it's very useful ! Thanks ! :-)
Love your channel, really helpful! Many thanks!
What abt giveaway???
Hi there I just commented this in another video but I'll give it a try here. I just started shooting vlogs in my bedroom and they come up with pretty bad lighting. Since I have an old JVC camera I thought this is as good as it gets, But then I shoot some scenes in the garden and they look great, so it's definately a matter of light. My question here is, what should I go for, softbox or light ring? I'm making videos standing about seven feet away from the camera, with a white wall on my back. Any advice will be apreciated. Thanks!
Just wanted to thank you for your great tips, thanks to you I have invested in a nice Canon 80D and a sweet SL2 for overhead shots, and also some cool lenses that you have reviewed. Thank you for these great educational video's. Can't go a day without watching some cool tips that are on your channel. My setup is simple but it works for now. Thanks again 👍
Thanks Sean for all your videos. I have been watching your videos and taking your advice for my youtube videos and your tips has helped me grow my channel since the past year.
Hey Sean,
I'm a new UA-camr trying to look like a professional and my husband and I are revamping the channel. We will be doing a lot of taping in our living room or office where the lighting is never consistent. We're debating purchasing the Neewer Photo Studio 176 LED vs the Neewer Camera Photo/Video 18"Outer 14"Inner 600W 5500K Ring.
1. We're not beauty bloggers, but I may be doing beauty tutorials every blue moon. It will mostly be for living room and office set ups.
2. I have a RØDE VideoMic PRO, so how would I use any of these Neewer lights. Could you recommend something else then?
OH YA... on a budget ;-)
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!!
Lisa Lovely
I might get these!! I was going to get a ring light but I can't afford that right now lol!! Thank you Sean :D I just use natural lighting or just my bedroom lights :( Lol
I Also need camera shopping help!! I have a Nikon Coolpix S9900, its good but I can't increase my audio, it doesn't have a headphonejack, Has a flip out screen but the battery dies so fast. I might get a new battery soon, but I rather have a good camera that doesn't have these issues. Any Recommendations please Sean? Thank you!! I am on a budget too :) Is it bad to film youtube videos on lets say an action camera lol?
me. I'm 284th!
Random viewer. No one cares!
(No seriously I'm 284th!)
I've recently started using umbrella lighting that I'm borrowing from a photographer friend, they were about $30 on amazon, but makes a BIG difference since using them!
Im currently using this one on my Canon T6s and the Neewer 160 tripod kit for other lights. I believe there is 122 LEDs hence the model number but its almost twice as bright as the Neewer 160.
SUPON LED-L122T RA CRI95 Super Slim LED Light Panel,3300K-5600K LED Video Light Panel , LCD display screen,Color temperature and Brightness can be adjusted (LED-L122)
Hi! I just started my UA-cam channel and I'm looking for some lighting because I want to do fashion and make up tutorials. My options are a ring light which costs approximately 100$ or this light lamp for 30$. To be honest I don't know which one should I choose? Thank you in advance😊
I can’t find the plug for long use can anyone help I am from the uk so maybe it is different
Got the neewer led light from Amazon , shite 👌🏾 faulty sent straight back, don’t buy cheap shit
Hey Sean, great content as always, I have both lights branded differently, the 160 by Chromo (had it about four years) and the 176 by Bestlight which i've had for two years, don't see them listed by those brands currently and now the Neewer and other brands cost less than what i originally paid too, mine are still going strong too,
Being that it's portable and more directional, do you think I need this on location in lieu of the ring light ? I mean considering ring lights are great for product, headshots and video. Will the video light help for small group shots on a light stand much better? I just bought the ring light because of you. LOL Help me out here.
Hi Sean, thanks for doing a video on this I had been thinking of buying a light for video and I ended up using your Amazon link to pick one of these up after watching your video as it was within my budget. It ended up working out great for my video needs, but quick question can I also use this for my photography needs or should I buy a separate camera flash instead for photography? Thanks again, great videos, keep them coming!
Seems like there's another version on the market now also, with 380 LEDs (looks just like the big brother to the 176) for not much more $$. "Neewer PT-380S". Has anyone tried it out?
Which diffuser are you showing? The Neewer sold on Amazon.co.uk is "Collapsible Diffuser Mini Softbox for CN-160, CN-126 and CN-216 LED Light ", and a reviewer has said that it does NOT fit on the 176.
Quote "but the newer model (176 LED Ultra Bright) which I have doesn't have the thick frame/bezel of it's predecessor and so there is no way to attach this to it"
Just wanna say u deserve more subs though I have been here from u were 100k .... ur videos have been helping me ever since n not only with UA-cam life but photography in general .... thnx Sean keep the content coming !!!!!✌🙄😁
One quick question, to light up half a single garage about 12 square meters (about 10 ft x 14 ft) with sufficient lighting how many Neewer 176's do you think I would need?
Isn't the Onyx 120 just a re-branded and recolored pt-15b selling for almost 6 times it's price? Seriously the Craphy pt-15b looks like the same housing, controls and potentially specifications as the Onyx 120 but sells for $21, and has been on sale for as low as $18.
I currently use 2 of the 160s and they work great. Will definitely be considering the new 176s.
I need an advice man
I'm now working on an unboxing video
Do I split my video as unboxing and assembly as part 1
And review as part 2
Or do I have to do them as whole
an even cheaper alternative can be the "ulanzi 112 LED light" its like 25 dollars with batteries and everything. or just 15 to 20 dollars for the light.
This video is misleading, a race to the bottom. None of these lights approach a black body. Tungsten Halogen bulbs are the closest sources we have to a black body radiator source, all of these low cost LEDs' will have a color cast, there's no way around it.
Kelvin color temperature values are not valid for LED's, Kelvin measurements are only for Black Body or near black body sources, CRI index also cannot be used for LED illuminates, no color rendering indexes are valid for LED illuminates. The manufacturers are misleading consumers when advertising CRI performance numbers.
These LED's. possibly all cannot be described at 5600 or any kelvin, because they are not full spectrum you can not use this meansurement.
thanks I justo bought the Neewer 176 LED Ultra Brillante . Thnks for your help!!
I have the Neewer CN160 and the only issue I had was one went out a while back. I opened it and discovered a wire came loose. I had to solder it back... Other than that they are good lights but I do have issues with the lights be to hot or bright which most likely its my fault.
7:40 “If you have a human with you” 🔥😂👌🏾 was hilarious, but super useful video. Much appreciated. Learning a lot. 🙏🏾
Hopefully you can answer this question but the newer one that just came out once you have it on your camera what do you do with your audio to speak then?? Since you would be needing the light package where the audio is supposed to be.. I'm referring to my rode video mic??? Is the mic input still available with the light kit on top of camera?? If so, I guess I can't use my rode video mic with the light kit? Thanks man for reply or if anyone answers this.
Does the
Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS work with the Neewer 176 light as well?
Hey Sean! I bought the Neewer 176 (new version), but the batteries only last 1/2 hour on the brightest setting. Is this normal? Also, can you recommend how to get the power adapter? I can't find one anywhere and it seems to be specific or else it will fry the light?! Please help! I love the light and want to make it work for me :) Thanks!
The Platinum 308 LED Rechargeable at $129.99 seems legit!! It's from Best Buy and you can get them open box from $103.99 and it has a remote control.
I’m so excited 😆! Thank you for sharing! I’m getting the 176!and soft box diffuser and of course the battery pack.
Question though, I don’t have a camera 📷 so I’m going to use the light on a table top tri pot and use my iPhone 7 for the camera. Any thoughts?
We just picked up the new Neewer and plug, its great, thanks for the help. I'm glad we got the plug, I must not have been paying attention to your video and didn't realize it didn't come with a battery. Watching the video again, I realize you said that. :P
looking at lights right now... I'll check em out!
Sean lemme just say how I love watching your videos and how much help you have been to helping me start my youtube channel. For my lighting setup I got the Lusana 600W studio lighting kit from Ebay it is nice to get the job but I might check this lights out and add to my list for future use. Thanks for all your tips. ☺☺☺
p.s is it possible to recommend some cheap good quality umbrella lights???

I personally don't think that people should all get those HUGE lights that take over a whole room, I mean monkey see monkey do, it's like being a copy cat. Im hopeful that a more simple yet functional way would be ACCEPTABLE such as what you have shown us. Then there are those round ones use for in front if the face which I think would be enough on their own. I've been wanting or rather planning on making a serious UA-cam video for about 4 years and have invested most of my money on the materials it rather collections to show now and still haven't exactly decided on what camera or lighting to use, or can we just use our phones? But if the phones don't come with a lot of memory just 32GB what then??
quick question b/c i've heard different things...
on camera lights for wedding video (specifically reception or dance floor when it gets dark) yay or nay? Some people seem to love it others think its annoying and tacky. (obviously a pro $1,000 off camera light would be a lot better but not everyone can afford that option at first)
I've used this exact light for a wedding (older version).
I'm low key with it and I don't leave it one.
But you NEED light for those dark receptions. ua-cam.com/video/SJAbUTnd5BQ/v-deo.html (reception is towards the end)
Great video! I have a Canon EOS M200 which doesn't have a mount on top to attach a light. Are there any lights that can mount on such a camera?? Thanks a lot!
I would love to see a comparison video for best devices for makeup videos and photos. Which devices perform better showing small details like glitters... but I would like the video to show the difference (no only words).... I’m not sure if you can do something like this... thank you and happy holidays!!! 😉
Another cool video... I think i fucking love ya man ha ha ha ha ha.... sweet shit dude :-) Love your stuff man..
What do you think of Viltrox LED lights? They're about $10 more but look like they would give softer light without a diffuser.
Always good advice
I currently have the Neewer CN-160 and I don't really like it that much. Maybe I just need to use it more and buy the battery as opposed to the double A batteries I am using.
I like the review but in my mind shouldn't the fact of a having double A. batteries be more reliable I know you get more LEDS in the new light but you also have a number panel and a test switch which is using access power already being taken out of this battery that is already using more power than the original light with Not a Substantial more amount of light considering it's only 16 extra LEDS
U guys never reply.. been askin so many questions for days. Anyways ur budget lighting video was amazing and i bought them but cant find the neewer ac adaptor for the 176 led lite to use for vlogs..
Also could u do another set up video like for basic beginners do’s and dont as i still dnt get these ring lite and diffusers etc..
In what situations would I use this LED light vs the Studio Pro soft box kit? That kit comes with 2 lights, is it recommended to get 2 Neewer lights? Thank you.
I own a Neewer CN-160 and love the thing. It's especially handy when the grandkids are over and have lost something in the yard of a nighttime :(
I have been needing cheap lighting thnks for the vid
Thanks! but I dont get it: Why is the new one cheaper, if it needs a rechargable batterie which we have to buy too? Cant I use normal batteries for the new one, can I? :D
Thanks a lot Sean. Habe discovered your Channel and your Tipps and Knowledge about Tech for vlogging and more is incredible informativ stuff. You‘ve got a new subscriber for sure and you earn a million more aubscribers in my opinion! Best regards Teddy
Very thorough comparisons. Just when I was thinking that you need to show use in real life to make it make more sense. Still, showing before and after on some of the promoted products sell more than just your words alone. Remember the old saying, "pictures are worth a thousand words."
Please help! I bought the new neewer led light and battery pack. Charged the batteries over night , stuck them in , the light blinks on n then nothing . What am I doing wrong :/ no directions included . Used the amazon link u suggested
dis you try the Neewer® CN-LUX360? Thes are lights which are pretty small, but only cost 8 bucks, if you buy four of them, and you can mount them together to a big light.
DUDE. So helpful. You have single-handedly saved my lighting situation!
Good review, and presentation. Which one would you advise between the Neewer 176 LED and the Neewer CN 216 and can you suggest a good extension pole?
Hey Sean I am wondering where you get your quote posters in the background from? I have been admiring them for a while haha
First watch of your content. I have been looking for ages (procrastinating) for some home studio lighting which I could also take out and ordered a pair of these based on your review for fill and back lights. Keeping it brand loyal, in the expectation of color matching I also ordered a Neewer 660. I'm not in the states or I would have used your affiliate links. Big thanks for helping a lighting noob on his way!
Good stuff ... always good stuff. And ... I like it that you are prepared and to the point in your posts.
What you think about the Neewer LCD308 ? It is a bit more expensive only and you can have different temperatures and it is also dimable. Thanks
Would you recommend these lights, softbox lights, umberella lights or ring lights? Also what's the difference between them?
I am a huge fan of ring lights, I have done a few reviews on my channel of them. I have also used softboxes but lately, with my reviews, I use a ring light almost exclusively. However, a light like this would be great for being on the go.
Neweer needs to update the CN216 as well. More bang for buck than the 160.
When I went on Amazon to look for the kits you mentioned, I discovered that there is a Neewar 216 light that also works on camera (I think). How does the 216 compare to the 176? Is the 216 newer and brighter? I noticed that the design is almost identical to the 160 just with more bulbs.
TIP # 1 Stop those f... annoying kindergarten ´plops´ in the video. Else it was very informative.
Sean!! Wanting to do some similar in style to this video sitting in my office with tips for social media for churches etc. What light setup would be best, a LED panel like this, a ring light, or a soft box setup? Pros cons? Thanks man
Great tip. Question when purchasing a camera should you go for the bundle or should you buy the accessories individually. Some of those bundles have 2 or 3 lenses, a nice bag, a sd card and a tripod, but I know the tripod isn't the best. Bundle or buy individual accessories?
Thanx for the lighting video. I bought the old newer light in this video because of your old video and now I need the updated one. Is there anything newer? In the neewer?
Thanks for this! Your videos are very informative and helps a lot for someone on a budget loll
Hi, I wanted to know what would be the best way to use this light If I am going to be using it to make beauty/makeup videos? Would it be best mounted to my camera or on a stand? Also, would you recommend the softbox since I'm using it for makeup videos?
