RALENO LED Video Light Review: A Complete Guide

this is the best budget YouTube light hello everyone this is ahed D so today I'll have another episode of a quick review video and I just purchased YouTube Studio light which is a Reino you can see the name right here Reino YouTube Studio light and uh the full name is uh plv s192 LED video light so this is the full name and uh this is the box and I'm just going to quickly go over some of the specs right here so you can see that uh the color temperature is 3200 to 5600 uh K Kelvin so basically you have both uh daylight and warm light color temperature uh in one and then uh it has actually not one two 4,000 mAh battery so this is really long lasting uh that's something uh is going to come in handy if you are shooting outdoor uh and also rechargeable so you're going to find other similar lights which only you have to just like plug in you cannot recharge but this is a rechargeable battery built in so that's one of the main reasons I bought this studio light and the brightness is quite high so which I'm going to show you very shortly so basically that's uh that's all uh there is and then this is the model number and the name now one thing I didn't like about this uh unit is that the charging uh adapter if you take a look at here this is not USBC so that's like you know a big no which I didn't know it before so what it means that anywhere anytime you're traveling you cannot actually take this with you because then you have to carry a one extra uh set of charging cable and a charger which I totally don't like uh but you know I bought this without knowing this and then when the unit came then I found out that you know you can only charge with this one so you cannot use USBC to charge now here let me quick oh okay sorry so here let me quickly show you the buttons or the input so this is for the charging cable uh which is right here you can see that input 15 Volt 2 ampere right here uh not USBC and this is on off and this is uh brightness and I think this is the temperature control so which I'm going to show you right now so this is not too small not too big so that's something I like I have a smaller LED lights but it doesn't do the job which I'm going to show you within a second why I bought this and also this is not a paid or Affiliated review I don't do any Affiliated links no like in subscription patreon or anything I don't take money from anyone so whatever you are seeing is totally honest and unbiased so now I'm going to turn this on uh that's the first thing let's see how it looks okay so you can see that the on and off button right here so I'm going to turn this on and you can see that on the back display it shows you the temperature and the battery percentage and the actually the brightness uh so I set it up to I set it to 4500 Kelvin which is kind of in between both uh warm light and daylight because I don't like too bright or too daylight or too warm light so this is kind of in the middle and then if I uh change this then you can see that this is changing the brightness so if you notice the light strength you can see that it's going higher and lower so I think I just you know keep it at 50% and then here this is the color temperature changing so you can see that uh if I go all the way up to 5600 it's completely uh daylight as you can tell and if I go all the way and you can see that this is completely warm light uh so I'm just going to go back to 40300 and let's turn this off and one thing is is that you can attach it to a tripod or monopod so this has quarter inch thread or hole here and that's what I'm going to do I'm just going to put it on my monopod and do a video and I'm going to show you actually my simple setting I don't have any like a fancy Studio or anything so that's what I'll show you right now so this is where actually I stand right here and I have my camera usually there and I use the uh daylight or like natural light uh when I'm standing kind of right here but the thing is uh this light even in bright daylight when the Sun is up it's not enough like you know it shows the face is kind of not well lit so that's why what I'm going to do I'll just put this light right here and I'm going to show you both before and after so just give me a few seconds let me set it up and then I'll you'll see that you know how it works so guys I'm just going to pull up another uh shade and then let's see it will increase the light and then I'm going to show you how it looks with even two shades of window open so let's uh pull this up here and so you can see that you know I have like you know two blinds giving uh venan blinds giving me the actually two shades giving me the light uh for example here we have one and we have two so both up and I'm just going to stand here and then you know you'll see how it looks so this is how it looks with two of them up uh I noticed if I pull this up it makes kind of like you know the light distorted I think they're kind of conflicting with each other for that reason I never pull this up so those two usually the one I've been using but still I noticed that my face is dark uh so now you are uh looking at me without uh the light which I have it right here uh let me just make sure that the camera can uh is showing the light actually it's not so I'm just going to show you where I have the light setup which is right here right here so I'm just going to you know turn on the light so you can kind of a little bit see how it looks okay where's the on a button here so it should be right here I'm going to turn this on okay so now 4500 uh and the color temperature is in the middle uh let me see the color temperature actually 4500k and it's 50% brightness so that's how it looks so I'm just looking at it here and I'm looking at the camera and I'm looking at here so uh you know tell me how it looks now I'm just going to increase this or I'm just going to go behind little bit so I'll just go be a little bit and then I'm going to step forward and let me increase this to Max and see what happens here so brightness uh we're going to bump it up to 100% okay so here I have 100% brightness at 45 degree Kelvin temperature tell me how it looks and I'm going to step forward step backward and and step forward again and you can see that this is how it looks I'm looking at the light I'm looking at the window I'm looking at the camera and you can see this is uh 4500 so I'm just going to change the color temperature a little bit let's try the Max uh daylight which is going to be uh 56 okay so this is Max daylight I'm not going I'm not sure if it's making any change or any difference so Max daylight I'm here I'm going to step backward step forward again looking at the light looking at the camera looking at the window and now let's switch it back to the uh maximum warm light which is going to be 3200k and let me know how it looks I'm looking at the light I'm looking at the camera and I'm looking at the window and this is 3200k the maximum uh warm light you can possibly get with this unit and I'll switch back to the middle which is going to be 4500 again let's see how it looks again so here we are at 4500 4500 4500 let me just try 5,000 uh 5,000 at 100% brightness so we are at 5,000 at 100% Bri brightness and I'm going to just go bump up all the way again uh which is going to be 5600 at 100% uh brightness and basically that concludes the testing of the Reino YouTube Studio light uh so this is like uh it's on sale I think I bought it for like $70 Canadian but usually it's like you know $100 or $85 to $90 in that range so the price wise is is okay it's not too expensive not too cheap however I didn't like the fact that you have to use the charging cable which is only for this uh no USBC connectivity that's something I totally do not like and I wouldn't have bought it if I knew that before uh I'm not sure if the it anywhere but my guess would be no and then uh the other things is I can even take it outside in the park or when I'm shooting outdoor because even if you have if you're shooting in a bright daylight you have Sun uh kind of you know it makes your face uh Shadow and gives you kind of ghost look that's what you can avoid with the uh extra Studio light so this is going to be my light uh from now on so thank you for watching for the next tips and tricks video I'm going to put a link on the screen and I'll see you in the next video thank you for watching
