Elgato Key Light - Professional 2800 lumens Studio Light with desk clamp for Streaming, Recording and Video Conferencing, Temperature and Brightness app-adjustable on Mac, PC, iOS, Android

These are amazing lights. I’m a full time remote worker who spends roughly six hours a day on active video conference calls. Before these lights I tried at least eight alternative options, but with changing external light and skin tone conditions I could never really achieve the professional look I wanted. These key lights finally solved it! I use lights two elevated on stands above my desk angled in towards either side of my face. I have them connected to a StreamDeck to control on-off, individual brightness, and individual color temp. This lets me adjust them correctly for day time when I have cool side light coming from an adjacent window or night when the only external light is warm overhead room light. The integration with StreamDeck and the Elgato control software has worked well. After a year of use, I’ve only had once or twice that the one lights didn’t immediately respond and a power cycle was all that was needed to reconnect it. The only real downside I’ve found is that they do get hot and can heat up a small room when used for hours at a time. They are expensive, but definitely worth the money if you want that level of control. I strongly recommend pairing with a StreamDeck if you’re using these for a streaming set up and want to adjust the lighting regularly.

These lights are awesome. The lights plus the software make them fully worth the cost in my opinion. They put out a TON of light, so much that for my purposes I'm never using them on more than 7-10% brightness. I'm not using these for photography currently (but I might in the future), and I don't podcast. However, I do work from home, and these do an awesome job of providing key and side lighting of my face to provide balance to my video conference image when the afternoon sun is playing through my windows and illuminating the rear of my office, which would have caused my image to be silhouetted in the past. The control software for these is really cool; since they connect to the wifi, I can operate them easily from any of my multiple devices, whether computers or personal devices (e.g. phone). The controls allow fine-tune control of both the brightness and color temperature of the light. It's a very well-thought-out holistic solution from the quality and consistency (and power) of the lighting to the means of controlling the lights. It also pairs very easily with HomeAssistant, allowing me to include the lights in my smart home automations. Finally, I actually bought two of these, and they are both VERY easy to control as a pair within the control software on all my devices, with a separate button provided to turn them on or off as a pair, and even an option to control the color/brightness adjustments for both simultaneously or independently as needed.

If you want a kit that is high tech, this one is great. If you just want a light, there are other options. I use this light to illuminate my face. My camera is 30" from my face. The key light is 50" diagonal. Many reviews mention that the panel is overpriced for the specs. This may be true depending on what specs you are looking at. The primary specs I am looking at are * Edge lit LED * 97 CRI * 2800 lumen * Wifi controlled * Kit with appropriate-height mount For those specs, you can find everything besides wifi controlled and the mount at $100 for a standalone panel. If you don't care about the wifi or the mount, go compare to some other photographic LED panels. Don't compare to panels that have the same lumen output but 80 CRI; 80 CRI is garbage office lighting. 97 is close to what you'd get from a conventional incandescent light. Including the mount, this is competitively priced. Do consider that this kit comes with a decent-quality 49" telescoping, desk-clamp mount. Other less-expensive kits comes with a smaller mount and/or a cheaper mount. You don't want a shorter mount if you are going to attach this to a desk and use it as a true "key" light. Some of the competitors I compared to before buying this light include less than half the height for the mount. That may work for a "fill" light, but would be very annoying as a key light and very difficult/impossible to get positioned correctly. If you already have an appropriate mount or plan to mount it to the wall rather than a desk, go compare to other LED panels. Many people probably don't need the wifi. For the more technically-inclined, there are two main features to this wifi connectivity. * Pair with Elgato Stream Deck * Control via API The first feature is rather simple and flawless: if you have a stream deck, this is a perfect accessory as you can set buttons to change the light settings directly. Accessing via web depends if you are technical enough to write something that will interface with the light. If you code, this is not difficult, I would say about as difficult as coding around a Phillips Hue if you've ever done that; there are libraries available to simplify it. Even if you don't have a stream deck and don't want to mess with the API, ctrl-click on the taskbar icon in Windows turns the lights on and off which is fairly convenient compared to reaching up to turn the light on and off by hand. I think it's a great value if you keep in mind all of the things being purchased with this kit. If there is something you don't need or want, other options may be better.

Extremely versatile and bright. Comes with an app to control color and brightness. Makes any video recordings or stream look professional and clamps to my desk strongly. Great purchase!

Renk sıcaklığını ve soğukluğunu ayarlayabiliyorsunuz. Parlaklığını ayarlayabiliyorsunuz. 3 yıldır kullanıyorum inanılmaz iyi bir ürün.

Después de varias semanas usando la Elgato Key Light, puedo decir que marca una diferencia enorme en la calidad de mis grabaciones y directos. Es una luz pensada para quien quiere resultados profesionales sin tener que montar un estudio completo. La intensidad de hasta 2800 lúmenes es más que suficiente incluso en habitaciones iluminadas. Lo mejor es que puedes ajustar el brillo de forma muy precisa, desde una luz suave y cálida hasta una iluminación muy potente para eliminar sombras. La temperatura de color también se controla fácilmente, lo que ayuda muchísimo a mantener el tono de piel natural en cámara. La integración con el software de Elgato es otro punto muy fuerte. Puedes ajustar todos los parámetros desde el PC o incluso desde el móvil. En mi caso, tener perfiles guardados (grabación, reunión, directo, noche) me ha ahorrado tiempo y me permite mantener una calidad constante. Cosas que destacan especialmente: • ✔️ Luz muy uniforme, sin parpadeos ni zonas quemadas • ✔️ Control remoto intuitivo vía Wi-Fi • ✔️ Montaje sólido, especialmente el brazo que se sujeta perfectamente a la mesa • ✔️ No se calienta casi nada incluso después de horas de uso • ✔️ Perfecta para streaming, videollamadas, fotografía y contenido de redes Como detalle a considerar: el montaje ocupa menos espacio que un softbox tradicional, pero el brazo sí requiere una mesa estable para fijarlo correctamente.

Cuando la conectes y la prendas no se te ocurra verla de frente y cerca, está potente, mucha luz la verdad, ilumina mucho el estudio y casi todo el cuarto, lo uso al 20% porque está muy fuerte su luz, lo mejor es que no se calienta, te lo recomiendo para todo

Das Elgato Key Light hat mein Setup komplett verändert. Schon nach dem ersten Einschalten merkt man, wie angenehm und gleichmäßig das Licht ist. Kein grelles Blenden, keine harten Schatten – einfach ein sauberes, freundliches Licht, das sofort professioneller wirkt. Besonders praktisch finde ich, dass man alles bequem per App am PC steuern kann, auch mit dem Elgato StreamDeck. Helligkeit und Lichtfarbe lassen sich schnell anpassen, egal ob für Videocalls, Streaming oder einfach zum Arbeiten. Ein paar Klicks – fertig. Die Lampe selbst ist sehr hochwertig verarbeitet und steht stabil auf dem Schreibtisch, ohne viel Platz wegzunehmen. Sie wirkt unauffällig, aber genau das macht sie perfekt. Egal ob für Homeoffice, Videos oder einfach besseres Licht am Schreibtisch: Das Elgato Key Light ist eine Investition, die sich wirklich lohnt. Einmal eingerichtet, will man nicht mehr darauf verzichten. Absolute Empfehlung meinerseits!
