I will keep this review very brief, as I have been ordering multiple different brands and models of LED lighting in an attempt to find something better than my 3200k gelled Neewer CN304 which I use for night ENG.
The Comer 1200 (knock-off rebranded) is a joke. Extremely dim, half the light output of a 900lux Neewer CN160. The swing away spot filter is horrible. You get a green spot, very green, with a very blue ring around it. Cannot think of a single use for such a device.
I just received a used Comer brand 1800, version 2 from eBay. It arrived not functioning. I had to jiggle and hold a battery on it to test it, but 1800lux I think not. It puts out about HALF the illumination of my Neewer 1800lux CN304 LED. With the spot mechanism in place, the colors don'[t change, but it needs that to match the Neewer CN304's light output in wide angle. Both lights are rated at 1800lux, the Comer must advertise it's 1800lux in SPOT mode, because it is slightly (barely) brighter than my old Neewer CN160 which is rated at 900lux.
I also tested the Ledgo Comer type spottable light a few months ago. It was so dim a cndle could outshine it. Still cannot find anything to outshine my Neewer CN304.......NOTHING, no matter the price, can beat this $60 Neewer? :-\
All of my tests were conducted with the OEM CTO's (3200ish) in place.
