NEEWER 660 bi-colour pair, 3300 lux at 1 m, CRI 96+ review

The only light of the four here that publishes an illuminance with its distance — 3300 lux at 1 m — as a pair of 660-LED panels with stands, barn doors and bags for 194 €.

The bottom line Two 40 W panels with stands, barn doors and bags for 194 €, and the only output figure of the four here that carries its distance: 3300 lux at 1 m. The cells for outdoor use cost extra, nothing is said about flicker, and the colour range is the narrowest here.

On the listing

Five bracketed bullets. Bi-colour dimmable studio light with 330 warm and 330 cool LEDs per panel, 40 W, a maximum of 3300 lux at 1 m, 3200K to 5600K, 0 to 100 per cent brightness and CRI 96 or better, with DC 12 V input, 100 to 240 V mains and a 14.8 V battery output, named for streaming, photography, podcasts, portraits, product work, gaming and hairdressing; a premium metal design with effective heat dissipation and no noisy fan, barn doors to shape the light and control spill, and a U-shaped bracket allowing 360 degree tilt; dual power — the supplied mains adapter indoors or NP-F550 and NP-F970 cells, not included, outdoors — with an LCD screen showing brightness, colour temperature and battery level; aluminium-alloy stands extending from 66 to 190 cm with locking knobs on each section; and a box list of two 660 LED panels, two stands, two adapters, two mains cables, two carry bags and a cleaning cloth, with the panels measuring 232 by 200 by 48 mm and the stands 66 cm folded.

Three thousand three hundred lux, at one metre

The figure the whole shelf was supposed to be compared on, and the only page that prints it properly. With a distance attached, the number can be scaled to wherever the light will actually stand. Without one — as on the three panels below — it is decoration.

Barn doors, which nothing else here has

Four hinged flaps that cut the beam at its edges. On a two-light setup in a room they are what keeps the fill light off the background and the key light out of the lens. They are a studio fitting, and their presence says what kind of light this is.

Two of everything, in one box

Two panels, two stands to 190 cm, two adapters, two cables, two bags. A second light is what turns a flat frontal look into shape, and buying two of anything separately costs more than this pair does together.

The cells are not in the box

The mains adapters are supplied; the NP-F550 and NP-F970 cells are not. Indoors that changes nothing. Outdoors it is a purchase, and the page states it plainly in the same bullet that offers the option.

Sixteen hundred kelvin of range, and no word on flicker

From tungsten to daylight and nothing beyond either end, which covers the two situations that matter and none of the creative ones. And like every other panel on this shelf, this page never names a frame rate or claims to be flicker-free.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all, so the button for that country runs a search instead of opening an entry that is not there.

What it does well, and what it gives up

Strengths

  • 3300 lux at 1 m — the only output of the four here published with the distance it was measured at
  • Two complete lights with stands to 190 cm, barn doors, U-brackets, mains adapters and carry bags
  • CRI 96 or better, and a choice of mains or NP-F battery power

Compromises

  • The NP-F550 and NP-F970 cells are not supplied, so outdoor use is an extra purchase
  • Nothing about flicker at any frame rate
  • 3200K to 5600K is the narrowest colour range on this shelf

Specifications

Output in lux with its distance3300 lux at 1 m, in the first bullet, for a 40 W panel of 660 LEDs. This is the only complete output measurement of the four here: a figure and the distance it was taken at, which is exactly what the hub above asks for and what the other three panels here all fail to give. It can be compared, scaled and planned around
Colour temperature range3200K to 5600K, in the first bullet, from 330 warm-white and 330 cool-white emitters mixed together. Narrower than the 2500K to 9000K ranges elsewhere on this shelf, and it spans the two temperatures that matter — tungsten at one end, daylight at the other
Accuracy indicesCRI 96 or better, in the first bullet, credited with authentic colour reproduction. One index, and the second-highest figure on this shelf behind the 98 of the pocket panel
Dimming0 to 100 per cent, in the first bullet, with the third adding that an LCD screen shows brightness, colour temperature and battery level in real time. No step count is published
FlickerNot addressed on the listing. Five bullets cover the output, the metal construction, the power options, the stands and the box contents, and no frame rates or flicker-free claim appear — the same silence as the other three panels here
Power optionsBoth: the supplied mains adapter and cable indoors, or NP-F550 or NP-F970 lithium cells for outdoor use, which are not included. The first bullet gives DC 12 V input, 100 to 240 V mains and a 14.8 V battery output. It is the only panel here offering a choice, and the cells are an extra purchase
MountA U-shaped bracket allowing the panel to tilt through 360 degrees, on aluminium-alloy stands extending from 66 to 190 cm with locking knobs on each section — the second and fourth bullets. Barn doors are fitted to shape the light and control spill, which nothing else on this shelf offers

What people ask before they commit

Why does 3300 lux at 1 m matter when the others quote no distance?

Because it is the only figure that can be used. Illuminance falls off roughly with the square of distance, so 3300 lux at one metre is around 825 at two and about 370 at three — a calculation that is possible here and impossible for the panels quoting lux without a distance or lumens instead. The hub above calls the distance part of the measurement, and this is the page that proves why.

What do barn doors do?

They are hinged flaps on the front of the light that block its edges, so the beam can be cut off a wall, a background or the camera lens. The second bullet names them as shaping the light and controlling spill. On a two-light setup indoors that control is what stops the two sources washing into each other, and nothing else on this shelf includes them.

What are NP-F cells and why are they not included?

They are a long-established camcorder battery format, named in the third bullet as NP-F550 and NP-F970 — the smaller and larger sizes. Lights of this kind take them on a plate at the back, which is why the first bullet quotes a 14.8 V battery output. Not supplying them keeps the price of a two-light kit at 194 €, and anyone already filming probably owns some.
