The Yongnuo YN608 circular illuminator is made of super-resistant solid plastic with an excellent finish. In addition to a good construction, this LED lamp has a thin profile and is very light for its size. The remote control provided with this lamp works with AAA The remote control can also operate without batteries as a control unit connected to the lamp.
The remote control light in wireless mode is 65 meters to the right. At this distance, the lamp responds smoothly to the on/off and intensity control commands. For longer, the lamp responds to commands, but there are important errors. The light quality of the 608 LEDs is good, I didn’t notice any color tone when using them. The Yongnuo YN608 circular illuminator comes in two variations, one with a color temperature of 5500K and the model I chose with a temperature of 3200-5500K.
I used the lamp with two Sony Np F550 batteries with a capacity of 2200 mAh. At full power, they have a range of about 63 minutes with the 608 LEDs on. It can use a capacity of up to 6600 mAh.
The images of the lamp assume a very aesthetic circle of light in the eyes of the portrait.
