ULANZI K20 20W RGB Panel review

A 20 W handheld RGB panel with up to 3200 lux at 0.5 m, a magnetic diffuser and a side grip, sold by ULANZI’s US store for about $36.

Bright and handheld

The K20 puts 20 W in a palm-sized panel with a side grip. ULANZI quotes up to 3200 lux at 0.5 m.

Color

Color temperature in kelvin (K) runs from warm (around 3000 K, like a household bulb) to cool (around 6000 K, like daylight shade). Full RGB adds any hue.

Battery

55 minutes at full power is short; keep it plugged in for long sessions.
