The Vidpro 4-Piece Interlocking Professional Photo & Video LED Light Kit is a case set of four individual 96-LED lights and an assortment of accessories that provide power and different mounting and color options. The lights interlock into a variety of vertical and horizontal configurations, and in a 2x2 configuration total to only 10x6 inches. Each light produces a 50W-equivalent light-beam and the combined set produces a total of 200W.
The included accessories are:
Four tungsten filters and four soft diffusers
An L-series 7.4V Li-ion battery with a charger
A battery cradle with a four-plug power cable
An adjustable stand bracket with an umbrella receptacle
An adjustable tripod and shoe ball mount
A horizontal mount with an adapter stud
A foam-grip handle
An L-series battery provides all four lights with approximately 2.5 hours of power. The L-series attaches into a battery cradle, the cradle attaches onto the back of the lights, and a four-plug cable extends from the cradle into each light. AC power or five AA batteries per light can alternatively be used.
The color temperature of the lights is 5600K. It can be lowered to 4200K with the soft diffusers, and to 3200K with the tungsten filters. And brightness can be controlled from 0-100% with an adjustable stepless dimmer.
The filters and diffusers are uniquely designed to magnetically snap on to the lights. The foam-grip handle can be used to hold the lights off-camera. The adjustable shoe-mount allows on-camera use. And the adjustable stand bracket allows for stand mounting.
The accessories and lights fit perfectly into inserts made for them in the carrying case. The case itself is hard, rugged, foam padded, and fully loaded totals to approximately 4 lbs.

This kit is way better than I expected. I will use it for my video projects but I will also use them for macro work. I have always hand held a flash when shooting flowers and other macro items, now i can just hold one of these lights right over flower. AMAZING. I am buying a second set soon!

Comments about Vidpro 4-Piece Interlocking Professional Photo & Video LED Light Kit:
The concept of these lights is great and the lights themselves are bright, portable and the flexible configuration makes them great for all sorts of applications. But my first experience was a disaster. The batteries, which had been charging for at least 12 hours, failed after 20 minutes of use. Not just one batter but ALL of the batteries. I'm not sure if there is an alternative way to power the lights with batteries, but obviously without a reliable, portable power source they are next to useless. I will be contacting B&H photo for more information about resolving this, but unfortunately, at this time, there is no way I could recommend them.

Comments about Vidpro 4-Piece Interlocking Professional Photo & Video LED Light Kit:
I used all four lights together (on a stand) for an interview. The VidPro battery (comes with kit) lasted about two hours (with all four lights being used at one time). Once the provided battery had run out, I had to switch to my Sony F970 battery. This is where I ran into a problem.
WARNING > When you switch to the Sony battery, MAKE SURE that you dim the lights. At 100% power on all four lights, I blew two of my Sony batteries instantly. Sony batteries (apparently) don't have a fuse that trips it back to the norm when you place it back on the charger. When Sony batteries blow a fuse, they are dead. The provided VidPro does! I had to use AA batteries for all four lights (which is a nice option!)
When I contacted VideoPro, they were very understanding, and they had not had an incident like mine before. They sent me two new VidPro batteries and a new charger. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE BY VidPro!!
The magnetic filters are absolutely ingenious and easy to take on & off, and the quality of the light is great. Despite my battery problem, I was very happy with the product and delighted to speak with a VidPro engineer (one that speaks English and knows the product) immediately after my shoot. The customer service is worth the price alone!

I reviewed this product using blogs and many YouTube demos and I must say I am thoroughly impressed.
The light is wide and bright and the filter attachments are magnetic (A huge Plus).
