CLx10

Great light, compact, integrated battery, excellent colour balance. The core things you want this light to do, it does very well.

A couple of niggles for a light at this price point...The whole outer housing is wobbly. While it's great you can swap the standard LED out for a tungsten-balanced one, the overall feeling is that the outer shell is poor quality. The way it locks into place (with the crappy sliding plastic knob), lacks precision and robustness. The lugs for attaching modifiers are also flimsy, especially the one that flexes to allow mods to be locked in. It does not fill me with confidence that it's going to survive extensive use, plus it's fiddly to dis-engage any attached modifier. Lastly, the power adapter. Seriously, that thing needs a re-design, it is massive and heavy. As the light only has 50 mins of battery at full power, you're gonna need to lug that big old brick to any longer shoots, basically almost doubling the overall weight of taking the light on any travels. As it has a proprietary connector, you have no choice but the use it. I would reduce the size of the brick, and introduce a more standard cable connector point to the light.

Not much bigger than a speedlight with 10,000 lumens of light output and a self contained battery! The CLX10 has become my number one light source for studio and location portraiture. I use a pair of CLX10's along with 2 of the CL-2000's and I absolutely love the portability, small size, power and best of all... I can use all of my Bowens mount modifiers so my lighting methods remain the same as when I shot exclusively with strobes.

I own a couple CLx10 and a couple Stella 8000. The CLx has great output for such a small light. Easy to travel with and has a small footprint when out in the field shoots. I mostly do video and have shot many intvws with the lights. Do recommend getting different modifiers for all the different situations.

I take this everywhere I shoot. Great for journalistic work where flash is not an option.

Bright, powerful, accurate, small enough to take anywhere. The battery combined with light output makes these the only lights I ever use when filming events on location.
