I really like this light. It is very bright and has a wide range of temperatures to get the look you want. The app works well. The price is way better than the Elgato brand. I highly recommend. I may purchase another in the future.

These are great! Works on WiFi with stream deck. Software/driver needs to be running in the background for it to work with stream deck. Light output is impressive, does show a rectangle in the eyes if not setup correctly. Even works as a great hair light over 2m away!

Very high quality key light. Easy to use in small desktop studio spaces so I purchased another to replace the Gl25B I bought as a fill. I can’t use the clamp on my desk so purchased these stands. Clamps are stable though.

I own five Neewer LED panels I use for music and talking head video in a small studio. They're too large for use at my computer desk, so I bought the NEEWER GL1 Pro. It's not nearly as soft as even a 12 x 12 softbox, but it is bright enough I can turn it around and bounce off the wall for a softbox-like effect. Amazon's product listing claims this panel is 15.5 inches, but that measurement is wrong: the panel only is 11.5 inches wide, not including the frame. If you include the frame, it's 13 inches. The actual specs further down the product page have the correct measurements. So the GL1 Pro is a little smaller than the Elgato Keylight.It appears well made with a metal outer shell, metal 1/4 inch tripod socket, screen for power and color temperature, and physical controls. Compared to my other Neewer LED panels, the physical controls are tiny and fiddly. You'll want to use Wi-Fi or the 2.4 GHz dongle to control it. It's heavy for the size, so lock it down tight on the decent quality supplied ball head. Unlike most panels of this side, it can't use Canon or Sony batteries, so you're limited to use with a wall wart.Color temp is a notch warmer than my other lights, so if you mix lights, you may have to cool the Neewer 1 or 2K.After installing the Neewer Control Center app, I was able to sync with Wi-Fi immediately on my Mac Studio M4 running Mac OS 15.5. The app is basic, but brightness and white balance are easy to control with sliders. It also works with my Elgato Stream Deck Neo: on/off, levels, WB, etc. Oddly, the Neewer Control Center app needs to be on for the Stream Deck to control the GL1, so not a seamless integration with Stream Deck compared to the Elgato Keylight system. You have to wait for the Newer app to load and connect to the Stream Deck—about 10 seconds on my Mac Studio. Once loaded and connected, control is almost instant.It's a bit undersized, and Stream Deck integration is bit weak, but all in all, a nice light for desktop use: bright, good quality of illumination, multiple control options that work, and well made.

Fantastic key light. Extremely bright if need be and the perfect addition to my desk setup (clasps to the side of my desk with no issues). It has controls on the top of it but honestly the app works so well that I just stick to using that to control it. Definitely recommended.

This is a decent light/stand combo for the money so for me, it was a definite upgrade from the older Neweer lights that I had prior. I can't say much about the app functionality, because I didn't need it necessarily, but I would give it a 4 if it hadn't flickered on me when I had it run for a few hours. Still conducting some tests, but so far, the total stars: are 3.5/5.Pros:-It's compatible with Apps, although the experience and success may vary.-"Softbox" is built-in so it is decently diffused.-Comes with a stand and ball head.-The housing seems well-built and durable.Cons:-Dimming switch and most of the switches on the unit are very flimsy, making it difficult to make precise adjustments. It feels like it can easily break.-The mount/stand has two knobs in the back that do not allow you to have your setup sit flush to the wall. Elgato's Master mount doesn't have this weird design choice.-It doesn't come with cable clips for wire management. Again, REALLY? Almost all brands that offer this type of stand include one, but this one doesn't include a single cable clip.-Wobbles incredibly even with the knob tighten as securely as possible. That includes that ball head that I have it mounted to.

These Neewer lights are EXCELLENT for streaming and make for a great competition to Elgato lights. The lighting isn't harsh and it is easy to use these lights with digital controls.That said, I could not get the desktop application to work with the lights on Windows 10. However, I checked the phone app and the phone application works perfectly.You can turn the lights on/off with the phone app and change the light settings with ease.So long as you are comfortable using the phone application, and do not absolutely need the desktop version, you're good-to-go with these.Highly recommended for their great color, brightness, lack of harshness, and ease of use!

UPDATE: I'm leaving my original review but changed my rating to 5-star because I use this light every day at my desk as a lamp. So, it gets about 3-4 hours a day of on time. It's still going strong. Very well-made and top-quality item. I'm impressed. I've had it for two years now. I now use it for video on about 31% at 5400K.The only reason this NEEWER GL1 Pro light is not getting a 5-star rating is the lack of instruction/manual for the many functions that are controllable through the desktop and phone app. Phone app is loaded with options. Could not find anything, anywhere.The light is awesome and very well made. Top quality. I've read some reviews saying the light is not very bright. Well, that is just not true. I sit about 3 feet from the light and have it turned down to about 45% brightness with an ISO of 100 and shutter speed of 60 and am getting plenty of light with reasonably accurate color. BTW using an inexpensive Elgato Facecam(not the pro).
