When you're 100 m down at the bottom of
0:02
the English Channel, it's normally pitch
0:04
black. So, if you want to get decent
0:07
quality video, you're going to need some
0:09
decent quality video lights. Now, I've
0:12
been really lucky over the last few
0:13
months that I've had a pair of Leon
0:15
Power video lights to test, and you're
0:18
currently seeing some of the results.
0:20
Bottom line is I'm super impressed. Not
0:24
only do they chuck out a vast amount of
0:26
light, but they're also super robust,
0:28
and they have some really nifty little
0:31
features that I like, and I'm
0:32
particularly impressed with the way that
0:33
you charge the batteries. Now, more of
0:36
that later on, but I can't go any
0:38
further before mentioning that, of
0:39
course, these torches are particularly
0:41
budget friendly. And if you're
0:43
interested in buying them, then I've put
0:45
a link in the uh in the description. And
0:48
there's also a discount code in there to
0:50
give you 10% off. All the video that
0:53
you're seeing at the moment has been
0:55
illuminated with the Leon Power video
0:57
lights. I've used a variety of um
0:59
cameras to take it. So there's some
1:01
GoPro footage. There is some Insta 360
1:04
Ace Pro 2 footage. And there's even a
1:07
bit of uh footage from my Power Lens
1:09
Fitas on the side of my helmet. But as I
1:12
say, all taken using those lead and
1:14
power video lights. I've got two
1:16
versions. This is the L12, which is
1:18
8,000 lumens from that big LED. You turn
1:22
it on using the button on the top, and
1:24
then you can get 4,000 or 2,000 if you
1:26
want to cycle through them. The other
1:28
button there does red, red flashing, and
1:31
blue. The other torch that I've got is
1:34
this one here. As you can see, looks
1:35
identical apart from those LEDs at the
1:37
front. This is the L24.
1:40
it kicks out a lot more lumens. So, you
1:42
get 12,000 at high power, then 6,000 and
1:45
3,000. Also does the same sort of thing
1:47
with the red flashing and the red and
1:49
the blue. Uh, and you can mix them up.
1:51
So, exactly the same as as the other
1:54
one. Battery life is 90 minutes for the
1:57
L12 on full power and 70 minutes for the
2:00
L24 on full power. This is how you
2:02
access the batteries. You know, lots of
2:03
threads, which is good for being
2:04
waterproof. And what you'll find inside,
2:07
this is something that I really like is
2:09
you got this uh sort of battery holder.
2:12
Three three, you know, identical
2:14
batteries go in there and obviously
2:15
they're replaceable, but you can charge
2:17
them all by just connecting in a USBC
2:19
cable there. And when you're charging
2:22
that, there's an LED on the top there
2:23
that goes red and green when it's done.
2:26
And then you just put it back in, as you
2:28
can see, like that. And screw it tucked.
2:31
Obviously, these are video lights, so
2:33
you've got 120 degree beam coming out of
2:35
them. Designed for taking videos
2:38
clearly, but I've used them for taking
2:40
still photos for years and years as
2:41
well. It's uh saves all the hassle that
2:44
you get with strobes.
2:46
Both of them really nice, good quality,
2:48
robust video lights that I'm pretty sure
2:51
will meet the vast majority of uh of
2:53
people's needs. So, if you're in the
2:55
market for one of these things, I
2:56
definitely advise you to have a look at
