Great lighting for a simple set-up
I bought this as a third/main light for the stop-motion set-up I did for my one of my boys. It's fairly easy to use, even for my son, who is nine years old. I'm pretty sure a seven year old can use it/my other son. Not overtly complicated, I like that you can alter the lighting in increments by pressing the knob down as a button. The lenses that come with it are great. My son especially likes the focus lens. It's ease of use is a win for me. Highly recommended.

Nice But QC Could Be Better
What we get in the box is the Iris Light, a very nice and extremely soft carry bag an adapter plate some filters and a braided usb-c cord.Presentation is premium it's all packed in a slickly designed box with classic styled graphics that remind me of something I have seen on more exotic playing cards LOL.The build of this light looks like it was something designed by Hasselblad so I am sure the designers got they got ideas for this line of lights from the cam brand. This light feels solid in the hand with its basically all metal construction.For mounting the light we have standard 1/4 20 threads on one side as well as the bottom, there is even a small lanyard hole far a carry strap.In use the light looks quite good and fairly smooth when using the dome diffusion filter included while it is not that bright as it uses a small single LED Chip it is still nice to have in ones kit I used it for some product test shots and it was fine. You can easily adjust the color temperature with a few clicks to turn it on is a bit dif then what I am used to as you must hold down the button for a few seconds and then spin the small control knob. Setting the level and temp is simple just select what you would like to do and dial in your brightens and temp. While this unit also supports BT I did not really test that as it requires you to DL the app to control it that way and I am not much for apps that control lights I prefer to do this on the device.While I do like the design and overall build of this little light I feel near perfection is an order so in this price class I expect extreme attention to detail which at lest on the light I received was slightly lacking.one of the diffusion filters already has an issue where the silver label ring is bubbling up this should not be the case with a premium product like this, so I hope they improve it as I think this ring should be a thicker aluminum type ring and not a cheap sticker such as in use now.The next issue with QC and is not a big deal but I thought I would mention, because again in this class I expect perfection so the second thing I noticed was that the LED Chip is slightly off center this should be perfectly centered in my opinion and should be corrected. (See Pics).If the manufacturer fixes these small issues and tightens there QC it would make me feel more confident in the brands quality but with that aside it is still a very nice light with a solid build if you are looking for a slightly different take on design and build from others on the market you might want to give this one a try.

Who is this for?
The Hobolite Iris LED Video Light Creator Kit has its pros and cons. On the plus side, it’s super small and compact, which makes it really easy to carry around. It feels premium in hand, and the packaging was a pleasant surprise—definitely high-quality and well thought out.But here’s the thing: I’m not quite sure who this light is for. There are plenty of other lights on the market that offer more power, color-changing options, and they cost less. Sure, it’s portable, but so are a lot of other lights that do the same thing, if not better, for a lower price.So while it’s nice and has that premium feel, I’m just not sure it’s worth it when there are more powerful and versatile options out there for less money. Three stars because it’s good, but it doesn’t really stand out in a crowded market.

Favorite to go light!
Wow! Really impressed with this light.To be honest, I hadn't really heard of this brand previously but I've been a fan recently of the smaller grab and go lights to add fill light for photos or videos. Recently, there's been a real explosion of these type of lights and this one caught my eye with a small and stylish design along with the included diffuser. I took a chance on it and I'm really glad I did.The negative, and I think there's only one for this light, is the price. At time of writing this review in August 2024, this light was just under $100 US, which puts it significantly higher in price than other lights with similar specifications. Is it worth it? I'm saying yes for my use cases.Right out of the box, the light feels premium. The packaging is really nice, well done, and protects the product. The light has a nice feel in the hand, solid, well made, with a little weight. It comes with a diffuser, USB-C cord, a carrying pouch, some instructions, and the light. The entire light is about the size of an action camera with similar weight.The controls are simple, a button and a turning dial that you can also press. The light has squared off sides so you can place it flat on surfaces but it also has threads so you can mount it. You can easily select between color temperature and intensity, as well as change mode to effects. There are a few interesting ones but I tend to shy away from those.The battery life has been really great for me, zero complaints there as I've been using it.The real fun with using this light is the ability to focus the light with the rounded dial on the face of the light while using the magnetically attached diffuser. This allows you to create everything from a hard point source light to a more diffused, softer light. I try to show this in the images attached to this review. Mounting this light on a cold shoe and using those features does wonders. This light control, while seeming to be a really minor thing, is really useful for me personally.So wrapping up, if you want a more premium experience with what feels like a higher end light, this might be an option for you. For me, I have been really enjoying it and its in my bag very often now. I have no reservations in giving it 5 stars. Great light.
