NEEWER FS60B 60W Compact Pocket Bi-Color LED Light

As a hobbyist photographer, I’m slowly growing my kit. I’ve wanted a light I can use as a poor man’s rim light for a series I’m working on. While I was dubious of this light’s output because of its size, it has proven me wrong. This light embodies the phrase “small but mighty”.I was also drawn to this light because it was small enough to fit in my bag. I don’t have an intern or helper, so it’s just me lugging my gear wherever I go. This little guy is small enough to fit in my coat pocket if need be.I like that I can control the temperature and brightness for my projects. The light does get warm with continuous use, so you need to be careful when handling it. The 12 lighting preprogrammed lighting functions are fun.You have power options with this light. It plugs in the traditional way as well as charging with a usb cable. It holds a charge really well.The app was a surprise feature. It allows to adjust its features with actually having to handle the light.All in all, this light enables me to grow in my photography knowledge without having to break the bank.

I like this light. I've been using Neewer LED lights for several years. This small light is a great value and very versatile. If you're in the Neewer echo system this is a must for the kit. I wish it came with the Bowens Mount adapter since it is a proprietary mount to Neewer lights as the modifiers are hard to find in stock. It's easy to use and dial in the settings. It works just like every other Neewer and video photography light. It's Neewer app compatible (I won't buy Neewer light unless they are app compatible) so it's easy to manage. Over fantastic light. Great light color quality.

Happy with this little light. Plenty of output for its size, color temperature range is useful, and the controls right on the unit are clear enough that I never needed to install the app to do basic brightness and color temperature adjustments. Fan stays quiet even when it kicks on during longer runs.The power flexibility is the standout. It accepts the included AC adapter or a regular USB-C to USB-C cable from a standard phone charger, which is great for travel and on-location work. One scenario I couldn't get working was running it from my Nobis 65W USB portable battery bank. Tried both the USB-C and USB-A ports, no dice. Might be a cable issue on my end, still troubleshooting and will update if I sort it out.A couple of nitpicks. There's no Bowens mount, which is the industry standard for modifiers. Neewer uses their smaller mini mount, and I get the reasoning given the size of this light, but you have to buy a separate adapter if you want to use Bowens accessories.The bigger one for me is that this isn't really suited as a permanent studio light. If you cut power to it (say, with a master switch that turns your whole setup on and off), the light does not come back on when power is restored. You have to physically walk over and hold the power button. Annoying if your studio or stream is wired to a single party-on switch.Still five stars. None of that outweighs how useful this thing is for the size and price.

This LED light is a very solid product with great functionality. The build quality feels sturdy and professional, while still being compact and portable enough to carry around easily for photography or video work.The brightness is impressive for the size, and the bi-color temperature adjustment works smoothly. I also like the app and panel controls, which make it convenient to adjust settings quickly during shooting. The light output looks clean and consistent with good color accuracy.Overall, this is a well-designed and reliable lighting setup for studio photography, video recording, or content creation. Very happy with the performance and features.

This is a very capable light for its size. The output is impressive, and it delivers a level of performance that feels much closer to studio gear than you would expect from something this compact. The efficiency is especially strong, and it gives you a lot of usable light from a relatively small body.One thing that absolutely deserves mention is the app. It is very intuitive and genuinely well designed. The controls feel straightforward, responsive, and easy to understand, which makes adjusting the light much more convenient. A good app can make a big difference with gear like this, and in this case it really adds to the overall experience.What I like most is the balance between size and power. It is compact and easy to place in tighter setups, yet it still produces strong, reliable lighting that works well for content creation, product shots, and small studio use. For anyone who values performance in a smaller footprint, this light makes a very good impression.The only reason I hesitate to call it truly portable is that power connection is still essential. Because of that, it feels more like a compact studio light than a grab and go portable solution. It is small and convenient in form, but not as free moving as the word portable might suggest.Even so, the performance, efficiency, and app experience are all excellent for the size. If you want a compact light with serious output and a very polished control experience, this is a very good option.

This NEEWER compact light is very useful - I am using it for in studio work. Portability is not an issue, but the small size and light weight makes it much more versatile in placement. One really good feature is that it is bluetooth controlled. The app connected easily and can control all the features on the light. If you have more than one, you can control them as a group, which is great.The construction of the device body is plastic. I wish it was something better. The plastic does reduce the weight of the unit. The thread receptacles are all metal which is good.Note that it needs the included AC adapter to work. There is no built in battery. I have used it with a good USB-C power brick as well.

One if my favorite light setups. It is light and versatile. The included dome give you options to smooth out light or have it brighter. It can also be pushed in or out to send the light the way you need it It comes with and included c-type cord and it has a ton of power.The fan keeps it cool during long running times. It is not too loud but you can hear it so be away how you have it set up for recording.The cap clicks into place nice and secured. You can rig out this light to perform anyway you see fit with diffusers wether large or small. It also had a stand mounting area as wellOverall this is a great buy for the performance you get.

This little light throws a lot more light than I thought it would. It is rated at 34300Lux. It is bright. I ordered this light to work with my home-built GoBo projector. It works really well. It does throw off a bit of heat when you are pushing it hard. It does get warm. Not hot enough to do damage (IMHO), just fairly warm. It does include a cooling fan that is thermostatically controlled and it can "adjusting fan speed based on the operating temperature". I found the fan to be quiet and un-obtrusive. However, I am old and my hearing has deteriorated so (YMMV).The COB (Chip-On-Board) light is adjustable for both intensity (in percentage of total available) and color temperature (2700-6500 K). It also has several special effect lighting schemes. Such as "Lightning", "Fire", "TV" and others. I wanted a constant light source that I could run while focusing a projected slide (for background) and composing the shot. My other projector(s) are strobe powered and I am not smart enough to figure out how to focus a projected slide when it is only illuminated for 1/8000 of a second. In any event this little light solved my problem. I can now compose and focus the shot then switch out the COB light for a studio strobe and life is good.It seems well built, with what appears to be a die-cast aluminum case. That case has 1/4" x 20 TPI brass inserts (for attachment to stands) on three sides and ventilation holes on those same three sides. Installing it on my projector was simple although I did have to purchase a Neewer "mini mount" to Bowens mount adapter. The Bowens adaptor is prominent in the second photo.This may have been designed and intended primarily for studio lighting, but it solved a problem for me, and I can highly recommend it for others.

**60W in something smaller than a TV remote**The size is the first thing. 5.9 by 3.5 by 1.3 inches, 0.66 pounds. That is genuinely pocket-sized for a 60W COB light. 34,300 lux at one meter with the reflector attached. For context, that is more than enough to key light a solo presenter in a medium-sized room without pushing power anywhere near its ceiling.CRI 96+ means colors render accurately on camera. Skin tones look like skin tones. Product details hold. That number matters more than wattage for anyone doing photo or video work where color fidelity is the whole point.Color temperature runs 2700K to 6500K with smooth continuous adjustment. Warm tungsten look on one end, full daylight on the other. Matching practical lights in a room or hitting a clean neutral for a studio setup both work without fighting the light.Three power options is the right call for a portable unit. DC adapter for stationary work, USB-C for running off a power bank on location, and battery grip support for full wireless freedom. The battery grip costs extra but the flexibility is there if you need it.App control handles group management and firmware updates. Panel knob handles quick on-set adjustments when you do not want a phone in your hand. Both work. The auto fan mode keeps noise down during quiet takes.At $146 this sits in a real gap in the market. Smaller than a full panel, more output than a ring light, more portable than anything with a Bowens mount. For run-and-gun creators or a compact home studio where space is limited, this covers a lot of ground in a very small package.

The NEEWER 60W Compact Pocket Bi-Color LED Light is designed for photographers and content creators who need strong, flexible lighting in a portable form. With its COB continuous output system, it delivers consistent brightness while maintaining a compact “pocket-sized” build that is easy to carry for studio or on-location shoots. The adjustable color temperature range from warm to cool light makes it adaptable to different shooting environments, whether indoors or outdoors.One of the standout features of this light is its bi-color flexibility, allowing users to smoothly shift between warm 2700K tones and cooler 6500K daylight balance. This makes it useful for matching natural lighting conditions or creating controlled studio looks. The high CRI rating also helps ensure accurate color reproduction, which is especially important for video recording, product photography, and livestream setups where skin tones and details need to look natural. Similar NEEWER COB lights are also praised for their strong output relative to size and price.In terms of usability, the built-in APP and panel controls provide convenient adjustment options depending on the shooting situation. Users can fine-tune brightness, color temperature, and lighting effects either directly on the device or through a smartphone interface. The compact design also makes it easy to mount on small tripods or light stands, giving creators more flexibility in tight studio spaces or mobile setups. Its portability is a key advantage for vloggers and photographers who frequently shoot in different locations.

I have been using this small LED light for my photography and it has been dependable for different shooting situations. The brightness is strong for its size and the color range lets me match the lighting in the room without much effort. The app control is simple to use and the panel buttons respond quickly when I do not want to use my phone. The light stays steady without flickering and the build feels solid enough to carry around in a bag. It has been useful for both video and still photos and gives me consistent results each time I turn it on.
