This light was great, it does take a bunch (6 I believe) double A batteries. Which adds alot to the weight of it. There is an option for a power pack and/or a DC power connector. It did work great, you can adjust the spectrum of light as well as DIM/brighten the intensity of the LEDs. It is blinding. It does come with a nice magnetic glare filter which dampens the light somewhat. I think it's going to find it's way into regular use for sure. I may even set up a secondary tripod for it. The reason I gave it 4/5 instead of 5/5 was simply because of the weight, it's alot of weight on top of the camera with all of the batteries in it. Other than that, it works like a champ!
