SO BRIGHT

By W. Ian
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-02-23

By far the brightest panel of this size that I have ever seen. It's a spectacle. Haven't used it for a shoot yet tho so don't know how it reads but the bicolor is decent and I can't stress enough how bright this thing is.

AMAZING Light! TERRIBLE fan!

Let me just say that the intensity of this light is BRIGHT! Probably the brightest card light I've seen! But what in the world is up with this obnoxiously loud fan?????? Did they forget to test the fan noise level?????

Does this have a diffuser? Since you can see the individual LED bulbs, I assume this is a hard light.
Asked by: Sam
The Zhiyun FIVERAY M40 Pocket LED Light does have a frost like defusion cover built into the light, so even though you can see the LEDs, you may also notice that they are not perfectly visible as the diffusion cover does soften them up some. There is no other difusion included with the Zhiyun FIVERAY M40 Pocket LED Light.
