The YYN160 III Bi-Color On-Camera Light is one of a series of on-camera LED lights from Yongnuo. This slim unit features 192 LEDs, split between daylight and tungsten. It features a digital LED readout for dimming and color temperature, as well as a single knob that toggles between both. The light offers two dimming modes (rough and fine), and a "Set" button that allows you to save a brightness and color temperature selection for easy recall.
Built-in barndoors with intensifiers help you control the light, and the two slide-in filter panels (CTO and diffusion) provide more light control. Designed to work with most DSLRs and small camcorders, the light can be powered using a Sony NP-F series battery (not included) or via an optional AC adapter. The light has an integrated 3-prong mounting system and includes a handle, cold shoe mounting foot with built-in 1/4"-20 threaded hole, and a flat base, allowing you to mount it onto a variety of supports, handhold it, mount on top of a camera, or stand it on a flat surface.
- Adjustable Color Temperature: 3200-5500K
- Rough and Fine Dimming Modes

Yongnuo YN160 III Reviews
Base attachment is too unique
The light is attached with prongs that extend from the base. It then needs a special piece in order to attach it to a stand. Trying to find a replacement is impossible. I wish I had bought something else. I have gone directly to the manufacturer website to get the replacement. Waiting to hear.
Good Inexpensive 3200K - 5600K LED Lights with Barndoors
I bought a pair of these 5 x 6.75 well made LED panels . The two sets of LEDs (3200K & 5600K) are individually controlled so either can be turned fully on to fully off. The dimming controls have two buttons coarse and fine; coarse works in increments of 10 (20, 30, 40, etc.), fine is in increments of 1 (7,8,9, etc.). There is a memory button for storing one setting by long pressing, both color temperature and intensity are stored; a short press will reset the light to the stored setting. There is a side slot in front of the LEDs and behind the permanently attached barndoors for use with the included white diffuser or CTO diffuser. My reason for getting this set of lights is for Low Level Lighting in astro-photography. the lowest setting may be a bit brighter than ideal, I'll have to field test to know for sure, but the barndoors and diffuser should help control the light output.
