[@dameanvil]

- 00:00 💡 Overview of RGB Pocket Lights: Four pocket RGB lights reviewed with five reasons to consider owning one. - 00:17 🌈 Customizable Colors: RGB lights allow full-color customization, ideal for versatile lighting. - 00:38 📸 Product Photography: RGB lights enhance product photos by matching product or logo colors. - 00:55 🎨 Accent Lighting: Pocket RGB lights work well as accent lighting to add color splashes in videos. - 01:15 💡 Fill and Rim Light: Useful as compact, portable fill or rim lights due to small size and affordability. - 01:40 💡 Aputure MC Brightness: Small and portable, but limited brightness at 400 lux; best as an accent light. - 02:10 🔆 Moman MLX Brightness: Mid-range brightness of about 1000 lux; brighter than Aputure MC but unlisted exact specs. - 02:26 💥 Weeylite RB9 Brightness: Brighter at 1350 lux, allowing for more lighting scenarios; larger than Aputure MC. - 02:58 🔆 Atomcube RX7 Brightness: Brightest and most professional at 2100 lux; allows USB power for continuous use. - 03:41 🔋 Battery Life: 120-150 minutes across all lights; Atomcube RX7 supports long-term USB power. - 03:53 ⏲️ Charging Time: Ranges from 1.5 hours (Aputure MC) to over 3 hours (Weeylite RB9). - 04:07 📱 App Control: All lights except Moman MLX can be controlled via app; useful when using multiple lights of the same brand. - 04:56 🧊 Accessories Included: All lights come with diffusers; Atomcube’s diffuser sold separately. Many have pouches and mounts. - 06:52 🎬 Special Effects: Each light has built-in effects (e.g., police car effect), useful for creative projects. - 07:06 ⚠️ Avoid Cheap RGB Lights: Cheaper RGB lights may lack brightness and color accuracy; some rely on filter panels rather than true RGB. - 07:41 💸 Best Choice: Recommends Atomcube RX7 for its brightness, functionality, and durability, despite being the most expensive option.

Can't believe you don't have a million followers (yet!). I've watched a dozen of your videos over the past few days. About to go buy tons of stuff off your Amazon list. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PaulHeimlund]

Thanks for the inspiring feedback! I’m gonna be rich from your shopping 😜 Thanks again 🙏🏼

[@AnnKEmery]

@@PaulHeimlund Lol just bought the Atomcube. Enjoy some well-deserved affiliate commission from Amazon. Next up, to re-watch your videos about the big box light thing with the slats. Thanks for your help!

[@PaulHeimlund]

@@AnnKEmery Thanks! You’re gonna love the Atomcube ;)

[@kalpanaarts4872]

You are very hard working person ♥️i love your video

[@megamantcg]

Love your channel. Literally bought the Atomcube RX7 and Aputure MC to compare... felt like the Atomcube was WAY better and then found this video where you confirm it! Thanks so much man. :)

[@PaulHeimlund]

Thanks man! Great to hear! :)

[@reyesproductionDK]

The random funny things you do.. 😆 One of the best video in this topic with your special spice 😇

[@PaulHeimlund]

Thanks!🙏🏼🥳

[@mastermike7000]

Having trouble finding the Atomcube anywhere that's convenient to buy from, might have to wait a little!

[@PaulHeimlund]

Sorry to hear that! Hopefully you’ll get it soon ;)

[@gabriel-mckee]

Great video; thanks for sharing!

[@СергейБулыгин-ь2ъ]

Thank you man, very helpful review

[@TonyShowMe]

Which of this lights do you recommend to use instead of a soft box light in a small studio? and for vlogging?

[@Hugmir]

"the most expensive one" - but God forbid you mention the price, lest the Amazon overlords become annoyed with you...

[@wellysonbrito]

The Weeylite has been on my wishlist for a while but the Atomcube really seems like a great rgb light. Btw, the intro and the title cards are looking awesome!

[@PaulHeimlund]

Hey! The only reason I’d go for the Weeylite is if my other lights, like spotlights, were Weeylite as well. If not, Atomcube is the way to go ;) Glad you like my new title cards! Cheers mate!

[@annuartv]

Love this video! I have several lights ranging from cheap to pro, but I want one for a travel rig while recording on my iphone (trying not to bring the pro setup when personal travelling), which one would you recommend for a simple joby+iphone travel vblog setup where size and practicity are key?

[@MiCoke03]

another great review!

[@kalpanaarts4872]

Hello sir your video is amazing ❤️

[@che.travel]

All of the listed models are not available anymore. So strange

[@brownpunk1794]

Great vid. Tell me..wats better pls.. Weeylite or IVISS G2..what is brighter? Tia

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

Would’ve liked some price comparisons mate. Would you recommend these over a multicolored sunset lamp ?

[@PaulHeimlund]

Absolutely!

[@videocasetteTV]

Awesome, any tips or tricks to use cookies or gobos in front of small RGB light

[@TheNimbleNomad]

Lovely video and style! Well made. As a small KZbinr - would you recommend the Weeylite or Atom? Thanks a lot for this entertaining yet thoughtfully on point made content!

[@PaulHeimlund]

Thanks! If you have some extra cash I’d go for the Atomcube, as it’s almost twice as bright. However, the Weeylite is a great option ;)

[@TheNimbleNomad]

@@PaulHeimlund thanks for your response, I tried your Amazon link but it doesn’t work in the UK, is there another affiliate link you have I can use?? Both for AtomCube and Weeylite

[@PaulHeimlund]

@@TheNimbleNomad That’s ok. As long as you find the light you want, I should get the commission if you buy the light within 24 hours. I won’t starve if I don’t ;)

[@BortaMaga]

is the brightest one capable enough to substitute for a key light in a portable lightning setup?

[@PaulHeimlund]

I wouldn’t trust a pocket rgb light as a portable key light over a longer time. Check out this video where I recommend a small, affordable portable light as a key light: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opCymJyHZciperc

[@Sunshine23628]

Hello, I just bought a small light on Amazon, duck brand, it's called N69 RGB, I don't know if it's a good brand, how long will it last? But watching your video helped me see what are good lights. In the future I will buy the light that you recommend, which although it is expensive in price, is the one that is most worth it. Thank you very much for the help !

[@PaulHeimlund]

Don’t know the light you’ve bought, but cheaper lights are usually not bright enough and they don’t last very long. All the lights in this video are used almost on a daily basis and are between 2 and 4 years old(!) And they’re still working fine ;) Glad you found the video helpful!

[@Hablemosenmkt]

Hi! would you recomend an RGB tube or the Weeylite? i want to iluminate backgraunds for videos and maybe some product photography.

[@sonutechzon4829]

Your videos is very nice and you KZbin studio

[@kalpanaarts4872]

Thank for idea

[@PaulHeimlund]

You’re welcome ;)

[@conectariumastrologia3582]

Very good! Thank you

[@PaulHeimlund]

Glad you liked it!

[@markschroeder5559]

Probably a silly question but what do you think of the Moonside MagLight?

[@m11kan]

What do you think Atomcube RX7 vs Vijim R70 ?

[@PaulHeimlund]

The Atomcube is much more professional, but also about twice the price. If you can afford it I’d go for the Atomcube ;)

[@bobagraphy]

Hi what about smallrig?

[@PaulHeimlund]

Haven’t tried it ;)

[@waynegranzin3824]

the atomcube has a red cast in white mode. shoot it side by side with the weeylite and see for yourself

[@omegamanGXE]

Is that good or bad

[@purificationdetoxification7122]

Hi how would you rate the atomcube rx1 compared to these? Is it also better than all of them excluding the rx7?

[@PaulHeimlund]

I haven’t tried the RX1, but it should be great as the RX7 is killing all competitions ;)

[@markfolarin8690]

Can RGB light be used alone for online tutoring?

[@AnnKEmery]

Thoughts on those sticky LED strips that go either behind your furniture, or even directly onto the wall/ceiling? I get that it's a different look entirely from these LED panels.

[@PaulHeimlund]

They sure look cool, but you can’t guarantee that they won’t flicker when filming or taking pictures. It also depends on the brand. If you can buy it buy ft/mtrs, buy a foot/meter and do a test. They might also be very dim…😬 Hope this helps!

[@babiychuk]

Hey Paul, thanks for the video. What about simorr P96L or Rollei Pocket RGB? They are much cheaper than you presented, are the 3-4 times "weaker" than mentioned in your video lights?

[@PaulHeimlund]

Hey! Yeah, that’s right. For me they’re just not bright enough…

[@RynaxAlien]

RGB strobe incapacitator light?

[@minsoo8319]

I bought a godox w8lp and the battery went out and I cant get it to charge. The charging icon shows up for a second and then turns off and then doesn't charge, how do I fix or am I out $130?

[@thedanwriter1]

Why is the g3 Ivisii pixel light not on this list ??

[@PaulHeimlund]

Because I don’t have it ;)

[@thedanwriter1]

@@PaulHeimlund that’s funny because it’s actually better than all these lol

[@PaulHeimlund]

@@thedanwriter1 I guess I have to check it out ;)
