Keobin 12 X 16w Rechargeable Par Light Demo Review

0:01 I don't get paid for any of these

Right ladies and gentlemen, you have in front of you the Kyobin 12 by 16 watt rechargeable PAR light. I've got Pinkieella helping me and first and foremost of course my disclaimer, I was sent two of these free gratis and for nothing but like every single company I work with they don't tell me what to say or what to do, they leave me to it. I don't get paid for any of these. I don't like affiliate links or anything like that, even though I will add links to products, but I don't get comeback. I don't get sort of like a 10% or 20%. I don't want to do that because if I'm honest with you from day one, then hopefully people will rely on my... Minimal amount of knowledge, but also what I think of bits of kit. Now again, I do get contacted all the time by companies asking me to promote their products and just a quick shout out to any companies.

If you've got anything to do with AI, please don't get in touch because I am absolutely not interested. If it's hardware, I'm interested, but any kind of software or anything associated with AI, not interested because I like to use my brain and my hands, not let some magical mayhem out there in wavy, wavy web land do the work for me. Anyway, without further ado, here we go. You'll notice we have a plug and on off. Now this is battery powered. So I am quite impressed with this, I have to admit. And again, technology is moving forward all the time. It's getting better and better, but also it's getting, I'm not going to say cheaper because this isn't a cheap piece of kit. What I will say is it's getting more affordable. Now this video, I'm going to use the software. I've talked about software. Caps cut. Got it on my phone. So we'll have a bit of a look demo on the inside. I'm also going to show you the app because yes, you can Bluetooth this and use it via...

2:45 No expense here, I love it

An app which is just amazing and the way things are moving forward. And then also outside later where we can see it in the dark. Well, actually maybe not see it in the dark, see the effect. So there it is, that one I've already opened and this box here has not been touched or opened yet so let's see exactly what we get in the box. So open it up. First thing we have what I always call the destruction manual. I have a power supply, I have the adapters for the stand and we have here, yep, we have a remote control as well. No expense here, I love it. And then also very quickly as well, only a small point, but it's really, let's say really well packaged. Sometimes you get, I'm sorry about the camera wobbling, do apologise, it's my dodgy table.

Alright, I'm going to have to turn this upside down. But quite often you get pieces of kit and you can tell straight away by the quality, by how they send it to you, because the packaging's rubbish, whereas this thing, nah, it's, as you can see, it's well packaged. So this company take great care in what they make, which, in fact, lesson to every company, this is what you should do. There is a bit of DIY involved here, which of course is just connecting the stand and that's pretty much it. Now this one here, let's have a look, I think, yeah, that one there. It's pretty much plug and play. Now if you are or not, we can use DMX so you can do, I think it's 512 protocol. Let's have a look. Hold on. On the side of the box, how many channels? Wrong side. Sorry, Pinkyella. Just move you over there. Okay, DMX, 6-channel DMX and 10-channel. Okay, so power supply, AC, 100, 24, 240 volt, 50 to 60 hertz. Measurements, don't think you're very interested in something like that.

4:37 Just put it, hold on, let's put it that way

Just put it, hold on, let's put it that way. Just put it on and hold on. Let's have a look. Hold on. Maybe. Oh yeah, that's right. Hold on. I've got to, right. Right. I apologise about that. I thought earlier, right, I'm doing something wrong and I'm going to edit that bit out, but I'm not going to edit it. I've just cut now to another part because I started the video again. because there were two controls weren't there okay so if i just turn it off i was pressing this one going um and i'm thinking uh i've done something wrong what have i done wrong i just picked up the controller without the batteries because now if i turn it on there you go you see so and i thought i picked up the one with the batteries in one a muppet all right so firstly

If you don't want to use your phone, you don't want to use DMX, you don't want to use Santa Light or blah-dee-blah, you just want to basically use the controller, then you can RGB, W, A, U, V. So let me just turn it like that. We can also flash, all on, fade. I quite like that. We can also set the speed as well and the brightness. So it's a little bit like a TV controller with your channels and your volume. So slow, fast or slow, we can jump, we can pulse. And again, all of this you can do on the app as well. When I'll put that bit on the app, but you can change the color. There's like a wheel and you, I mean, it's great. It's what I, like I said earlier, what I love about technology today is that it is getting far more affordable. Gone are the days of basically you buying a light and you having one option if you...

7:34 In fact, let me just turn it on

Didn't have a DMX controller and that is to do sound to light and then the thing's just flashing like a mad one all night because you can't be arsed in changing it which that's what I was like uh and then all of a sudden there's a slow dance and it's just going bam bam bam like that well at least now something like this we can go to green and I haven't used this that much, but I'm sure we could sort of slow it down. We've got different settings for sound and again DMX and auto, so I'm just going to turn that off. So it is very bright. I'm going to do something like that there. In fact, I'll turn the light off in here and straight away you can see it's not a cheapy kind of light. Not. at all right so i'm going to pause the camera and the next clip we will be outside actually just a quick note when you're putting it together uh sorry for calling you ashley by the way uh you've got a washer now that's important because that has to go in between the stand and the fixture itself and then it's a balancing act just to get the hole in place and then screw that in that's it it's as simple

That's that. Also, what I recommend is before you use it, plug it in and maybe just give it a charge. Now, I'm not saying that... In fact, let me just turn it on. Let's have a look. Okay, yeah, I don't know if you can notice but it looks like it's not fully charged. Now, that's likely... Sorry about the camera jumping. That's likely because when it was charged in the factory, it was fully charged. Lost a bit of charge over time. So what I always recommend, it's a little bit like if you buy anything new, just give it a charge and let it sort of sit there for an hour or so, even if it says fully charged. I'm not sure what technology is like now, but I know years ago it did help prolong the life of the batteries. Okay, I'm using the iPhone 15 Pro Max and it's...

9:31 I think the camera, though, is picking up quite a bit of light

Pretty dark outside. I think the camera, though, is picking up quite a bit of light. So I've got the two units there. You can see the red LEDs. I have the controller and... Hold on, hold on. There you go. Whoa! There you go. So, go through the colours. I can't exactly see what I'm doing here. That's pretty good. Very bright. Of course, you can dim as well. It's difficult to get... The true feel of these on a phone, but not bad at all. And again, for the people who just want to do it like, I don't know, simply no need for DMX, just the app or the controller. So there you go, it's the Kirbin 12x16 watt rechargeable power light. And I have to apologise, I've watched a few clips and I noticed I had a very dirty hand. It's because... Sorry, funny!

I've been out mowing the grass and my mower gets clogged up and I've constantly got to pull the grass out so I had really dirty fingers. So there they are. Alright, there will of course be information in the description that will take you to the website. Go and check it out. And all I can say is practice... No, I won't say that just yet. I've got a gig in a couple of weeks in a local town. I'm going to be taking these with me so we'll see them first hand. Thank you for watching. Don't forget, leave a comment, let me know what you think. Have you got some of them? If you do watch this in the future and you've bought them, let me know if you like them or not. But comment if you have got some because it's always great to get your feedback because companies do listen and do read comments to make products better. Thank you for watching. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
