My new favorite (little) LED light!
Hey everyone! I thought I’d start my first real post of with a new gem I’ve found with some help from google and CheesyCam.com. This LED light I just got, the W96 II, is actually a “copy” of the Z96 LED light that has become so popular with so many shooters. When buying my new lights I decided to go with a few of the W96 II’s and just get one Z96. I figured the copy would be as nice to use as the original, so I’ll use the original for my weddings and the others for projects where I need many portable LEDs. Well I was wrong. I am far more pleased with the quality of light coming from the copy, W96 II, than the Z96. I like the light stand ball mount better, and it even has a battery meter (that works so so, but is still cool!). I’ve found the Z96 to have a bit of a green tint to it, while the W96 II has a little more magenta, which I find to me more pleasing and accurate on camera. The best part about it is that the W96 II is $20 cheaper than the Z96, which was already affordable to begin with.
Here is the link to the light on Ebay: Buy W96 II LED Light – this link may die eventually since it’s to am Ebay item, but it’s there for now! It should be around $38.00ish.
These are the batteries I use with the lights. I definitely would pick up a couple of these over using AA batteries: Sony F550 Batteries for the W96 II LED Light – and the link for the same battery, but bigger!
Also, make sure you are buying the W96 II, rather than the W96. The version 1 W96 had some issues that had many customers returning their purchases, but the W96 version II is absolutely wonderful!
This is a great example of how a small piece of equipment can become a favorite creative tool. The portability makes an LED light especially convenient for quick photos, videos, and everyday projects. I enjoy finding simple tools that make content creation more interesting. Along with better lighting, using a Funky Text Generator can give social posts and creative projects a more distinctive visual style.
This was an interesting read, and I like how a compact LED light can offer so much flexibility without taking up much space. Small accessories often become essential once you start using them regularly. It also reminded me of how useful specialized online tools can be for creative work. A Wingding Translator is helpful when you need to understand or convert Wingdings symbols quickly instead of trying to decode them manually.
This was a great read! Lighting is often overlooked, yet it plays a major role in producing high-quality visuals. Adding a Green Screen alongside the right LED light can further improve video production by creating flexible and distraction-free backgrounds. Thanks for sharing such practical advice that both beginners and experienced creators can benefit from.
Great review. It's amazing how small pieces of equipment can make such a significant difference in photography and video production workflows. gwa to percentage calculator
