*Are the Aputure MC Multicolor LED Lights the best Lights I ever purchased?

• Let's find it out and start with a look what you get for your 100 Bucks
• Hello my tiny new family member, with 6x9,5cm and 130gr, two strong magnets and a 1/4" screw mount, you seem to be very mounting friendly.
• You can charge this Light either via USB-C or wireless on every CHI-Charger
• This little wheel is all you need to control nearly all the options this litte powerhouse offers - there is also the option of controlling it via the app - where we will get to it later
• Then we have the Manual and a Pouch - Everyone loves pouches ;-)
• In the pouch we have this white wobble thing - which is a diffusor. This comes in really handy, because this is around 1cm away from the actual light and that's enough to soften up the light.
• a braided USB-A to USB-C cable and two velcro stickers.

*Let's have a look at all the technical color things the Multicolor MC light gives us.
*- CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 96+

• TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of 97+
• SSI scores of 84 in Tungsten and 74 in daylight.

• Maximum brightness of this tiny LED light is:
  Distance 30 cm 50 cm 1 Meter
  Maximum Brightness 1100 lux 400 lux 100 lux

• What does CRI mean:
  CRI (Color Rendering Index) is how accurately artificial light shows colors of the objects or people under them. Using a numerical scale from 1 to 100, CRI evaluates the color accuracy of objects under different lights compared to how those objects would look under natural sunlight.

• What does TLCI mean:
  TLCI (Television Lightning Consistency Index) takes a measurement of the spectral power distribution of a luminaire, using a spectroradiometer. It then analyses the performance of the luminaire in the context of television. It awards a single number value to the luminaire, on a scale from 0 to 100.

• What is Tungsten
  Tungsten is a very warm and orange light with a temperature about 3.200K. And is mostly used to create a very warm, cosy and skin tone pleasing light situation.

• With this tiny light you have full control of HUE, Saturation & Intensity. It gives you access to the complete 360 Degree of HUE and 100 levels of dimming adjustment. This means that you can reproduce any color you can imagine.

• It offers you CCT control (CCT stands for: correlated color temperature) in steps of 100 Kelvin between 3200K and 6500K. From warm Tungsten light to an overcast, cloudy day, which is slightly bluer than mid-day sun.

**Are the Aputure MC Multicolor LED Lights the best Lights I ever purchased?
**This is a simple question with a bit complicate answer.

Before I stumbled over the brand Aputure, I chose my lights not on, Kelvin, CRI and LUX.

My two LED Lights I have bought first are the DÖRR DVL-165, which are surprisingly good, if you take the fact, that I payed no attention on how good the lights are. You can get them for 90€ each. They are advertised at 5400k (+/-400), if you think about 400K plus/minus makes a major difference. The Output of these Lamps is around 2000LUX at 1Meter and you can dimm them continuously, which is great. Right now I use them with a Gel, and therefore it doesn't matter that the color Temperature is not so accurate.

The other two lights I use, are those Neewer lights. Which come in a pack of two for around 100€. The color Temperature is advertised at 5500K and because I have no lightmeter, I must rely on this information. The Output is pretty strong, I have only one light as a keylight in use and had to dimm it with a diffusion cloth.

Overall I'm pretty happy with my current Setup and can't wait to play around with these new...
