Neewer GL1 Pro 15.5" Streaming Key Light
A 15.5-inch desk-clamped bi-color panel key light with app control and CRI97+ color accuracy, aimed at talking-head and streaming use. This beginner-tier panel is a good fit for clean, accurate face lighting clamped to a desk for streams and calls. As a flat panel rather than a Bowens fixture, it's the wrong tool for modifier-based cinematic lighting, where a mountable light and softbox would serve better.
