While it may not be an option for bigger projects that need lots of lighting support, this new palm-sized 150W bi-color COB-LED from SWIT is another solid choice for DIY filmmakers and run-and-gun video crews looking to add a light for interviews, livestreams, video podcasts, or other compact projects.

Set to deliver a high intensity of 24,000 Lux at 1 meter and featuring a helpful on-board V-mount plate and USB-C power, this looks like another solid option that prioritizes convenience. Let’s check it out.

Announced on the company’s website, the SWIT Mini-150B is being billed as a promising “infinite creation” light that packs a lot into the palm of your hand. For the most part, it looks like it will live up to that billing, offering plenty of power and support in a pretty small package.

The SWIT Mini-150B also offers a wide color temperature range, which should help with diverse shooting scenarios, along with solid dimming-curve settings including Linear, Log, Exp., and S-Curve to ensure smooth, predictable light output across the entire range.

The big selling point for many might simply be its onboard V-mount plate, which lets you attach a V-mount battery for direct power. On top of that, the light supports USB-C power input at 15V/20V/28V, making it compatible with a wide range of fast-charging protocols, including PD3.1/PD3.0/PD2.0, Samsung AFC, and QC2.0/3.0.
