The Lowel Blender LED 1-Light Kit (120VAC/12VDC) throws an entirely new light on the problems of shooting in mixed-light environments: when neither tungsten nor daylight are the right color, you just fudge it, right? Not anymore--the Blender makes it possible to fine-tune your lights to match (or contrast with) whatever light you're grappling with. With twin arrays of daylight and tungsten LEDs in one fixture, two simple dials make it possible to dial in the light to exactly the color you choose (from approximately 2800°K to 6000°K). This tiny unit (1.2 lbs and small enough to hold with a pistol grip) puts out a solid 56W of light, and it's dimmable from 100% to 10%. It runs off a Canon camcorder battery sled (battery not included), or the included 120V AC adapter. Also included are a 7'11" Lowel Uni-stand, a set of three different diffusers and a Lowel Slim Litebag for transporting the kit.

Comments about Lowel Blender LED 1-Light Kit (120VAC/12VDC):
I had hoped to be able to perform interviews with these lights and I guess I could under the right circumstances but these lights are best used as fill lights. Having said that, as fills, they can't be beat. I just wish they had more output and could be used in multiple ways.

Comments about Lowel Blender LED 1-Light Kit (120VAC/12VDC):
This is a quality product from Lowel. I have looked at several LED lights from a variety of ventors and this puts out a prttey good amount of light, in both daylight and tungsten.
Pros
Well built
Nice set of diffusers
Good kit with case
The Light Blender function works well
Con
Cost - as with most LED lights
No battery attachment on light
I find that not having the battery holder on the light is a bit awkward. I like the fact that it can be powered by AC or DC power. Also it is nice you can power it, for a long time, off of your common camcorder battery - Canon, Sony or Panansonic. But when you have accessories and hang ons to your camera rig, having a light where the battery isn't attached to it, creates more cables and the need to strap the battery "sled" elsewhere.
I've used this to light people in close quarters is a car. This makes a wonderful fill light!
Otherwise, a great LED light winner!
