Stepped Settings for Quick Operation
Swap through preset output levels of 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 10%, and off for quick and easily repeatable setups. Hold the same button to adjust color temperature between 3000K, 4300K, and 5600K modes to create different atmospheres or match different on-location lighting.

The battery is charged with the included charger via a micro-USB port, and the lamp may be used while charging. Please note, the light will not charge on a standard 5V USB charger. The light features a kill switch to disable battery operation for travel.

Quasar Science Q-Lion Switch Lithium-Ion Line... Reviews

A solid light

By Philip
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-04

I have been using these lights for a while, and they have yet to let me down. May not be the strongest or best, but they get the job done, and do it well. The magnetic attachment is a very nice touch, which has helped out a lot in leeping them hidden in some unique locations

Great Travel Lights

Super easy to travel with, we just pad them and put them in our luggage on location shoots. Charging is simple and the mounting on small stands is really nice. They're durable, long lasting, and I like that I don't have to worry about glass breaking.
