I\u2019ve got a drawer full of accessory lights for my photo shoots, but the only one I\u2019m carrying full-time in my camera bag now is this Sutefoto T15<\/a>.  Even if fully expended, I can recharge it in a mere two hours and it will last four hours. It sports a 5000mAh hour battery and yet weighs less than \u00bd pound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light measures roughly 6\u201dX3\u201dX1\u201d and comes with a nice hot shoe mount which can be screwed into the \u00bc\u201dx20 socket on the bottom or side, so that you can shoot with it on camera either vertically or horizontally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can screw it directly onto a ball head on top of your tripod so that it can be aimed up, down, or angled in any direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also love that it is so lightweight that even my tiniest monopods or tripods can be used to support it in tight areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With intensity adjustments from 1 to 100%, I can use the light without blinding kids or those with sensitive eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the other major benefits for me is that I can dial it in to correctly match any other lighting temperature I run into while shooting indoors or out.  From the warmest 2800K to the coolest 10000K, it\u2019s just a matter of a push of a button or it can be preset in the app that powers it via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special effects available will probably be most appreciated by video creators, and there are ten of them to try: from flames, to TV mode, to police to fire truck or ambulance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See my photos for examples of the photos available using the T15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos 1 and 2  –  Photo 1 was taken with just ambient light while you\u2019ll easily notice the additional detail picked up by holding the T15 directly over the duck in Photo 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo 3  –  I set the duck in front of the light, aiming the light toward the camera on low brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo 4  – I set the duck on top of the T15, shining up toward the ceiling and throwing a nice gradient against the back white wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo 5 and 6  – In Photo 5 the duck was sitting above the T15 while the T15 shone on the back wall giving it a nice violet gradient, but the duck needed more light.  So, in Photo 6, I just aimed a small flashlight directly at the duck for highlight illumination without overpowering the T15 shining on the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo 7  –  Shows how close the T15 was to the pelican in the following shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos 8 and 9  –  Photo 8 was ambient light only \u2013 boring.  Photo 9 was with the T15 showing 100% Red and 100% Blue light from the right side only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo 10 is my favorite by just adding a little white light from a flashlight off to the left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibilities are endless with the Sutefoto T15 – just one of the many great lighting items from Sutefoto<\/a>. Check them all out on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
