Budget Lighting – under $150

The Aputure MC RGBWW LED Light is part of the Aputure M-series of lights and features RGB LEDs, as well as both tungsten- and daylight-balanced LEDs, creating a full hue controllable LED that emits up to 95% of the BT 2020 color gamut.

This lightweight light fixture easily fits in the palm of your hand and can be mounted using the built-in 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole or attached to metal items via its built-in magnets. The light integrates an OLED display screen and a control wheel. Compatibility with the Aputure Sidus Link app enables you to remotely control your light from your mobile device. The light fixture supports the Sidus Mesh technology that enables you to control multiple fixtures.

With a deceptively 2.75" diameter form factor and a simple E26/27 household screw-in base, it's easy to underestimate the wealth of capability contained within the Aputure Accent B7c LED RGBWW Light.

The bantam fixture has a white light range of 2000 to 10,000K to blend in seamlessly in any ambient light situation, match other fixtures, or exercise creative expression. The light's high CRI/TLCI rating of 95/96 is a testament to its advanced accuracy in color reproduction. Another color control feature is its RGB mode with hue, saturation, and intensity adjustment that gives image makers access to millions of colors. And the light is dimmable from 0 to 100%.

The LitraTorch 2.0 Photo and Video Light from LITRA is a small compact light fixture no larger than a GoPro Sessions camera.

The Panel GO from Lume Cube is a compact LED panel light that packs a powerful punch for video, photo, and vlogging applications.

The Genaray Powerbank 96 Pocket LED Light is a small yet powerful variable-color temperature light with output from 3200 to 5600K adjustable in 100K steps.

The metal chassis is compact and light enough to slip into your pocket, and durable enough to take anywhere in a camera or gear bag. In addition to the stepped color temperature adjustment, the light also features dimming from 100 to 10% brightness. A boost mode increases the light fixture's output to 130% for one minute before returning the brightness to the previous setting. An included removable snap-on diffuser softens the light's output.
