Dracast X-500 RGB Reviews

Light is awesome but used unit received

By Joseph
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-10-07

The light itself is fantastic. The colors are insanely adjustable over a huge range of temperatures and hues, and it has effects like cop car lights, and more. Definitely five stars. Don't want to remove any stars just because of the slight scam of getting a used unit. However, a used unit was clearly received, as shown in the picture taken one second after pulling it out of the plastic inside the box. But please don't worry. In 25 years or more, this is just the second time B&H has ever let me down on a purchase. The one other time they let me down was by sending me an imported A7R IV instead of the US version--I had still have to confirm the switch to US settings every time I turn it on. Both issues are/were probably just stocking issues, and 99% of my orders are fulfilled perfectly. I'm keeping this light, just like I kept the non-US body. No harm done except to my ego either way.

This kit comes with batteries?
Asked by: Abraham
No, the Dracast X Series LED500 RGB LED Light Panel (Interview 3-Light Kit) comes with the battery plates, but the batteries themselves are a separate purchase.
