The 8 Best Neewer Strobe Lights (2023 reviews)

Best part: neewer flash kit costs reasonable and it is available to ship in 24 hours. It’s easy to carry when you’re out on a photoshoot and need that extra light. It includes a wireless trigger and it is perfect for convenient battery cordless location shooting. The flash itself has a ton of power and is near perfect (maybe a little bulky) for hand held real estate fills and decent for on the go portraits too.

The octagonal soft box attachment is nice and the shape helps spread light into the room more evenly. It works for packing backdrops & stands, a heavy-duty camera stand, and with room for the lighting system. The battery must be removed for charging, so the strobe can’t be used while the battery is charging. The trigger works well too and also has a good battery life. The cord provided will only charge the battery.

Why We Like This:

Wireless flashes, bright and soft with this working set
Awesome blinding light, especially for studios where portability is paramount
Really good value for a battery powered strobe
Lighting a whole group of groomsmen easily with just one light

Best With Umbrella: Neewer Modeling Light

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another product that manages to win our hearts. It's the neewer modeling light and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient products you can buy. It is great for directional lighting, and being battery powered makes it a must. Functionally it does what it says on the tin, very powerful and super-fast recycle times. It maintains its color temperature perfectly throughout the entire power range. The screw for locking umbrellas stripped easily, and the trigger (designed for Canon) occasionally slips off the contact so must be repositioned periodically. It works with an LED bulb so no overheating here for stable color temperatures and long term use.

The LED light uses a lot of power so you should not leave it on for the duration of your shoot. The batteries hold a good charge, and charge fairly quickly.

Why We Like This:

Two insertable large capacity lithium batteries included
Make good fill lights in the bright sun
Digital display for easy controlled settings
High-speed synchronous full-power output will never let you miss every wonderful moment

Best With anything With A HOTSHOE: Neewer Great Flash

Best For Studio Photography: Neewer modelling Light

Buy on Amazon

It is a well built, entry/basic studio strobe that is sturdy and works well. The Universal Bowens mount is simple to use and sturdy. The light works wonderfully with a large variety of settings that are easy enough to change. It will get hot, and a lot of people will not wait long enough for cooling before they cap it, and thus reduce the life of the tube and bulb.

The strobe itself is easy to assemble (you will need your own tripod), and it's amazingly easy to use. The light is fairly consistent, varying only about.2 to.3 stops. This light does give off a lot of heat though, but the fan inside the light at least blows it out into the room. The model light works well and the strobe is nice and bright.

Why We Like This:

A sturdy bracket/clamp to attach to a light stand
Fantastic for anybody serious about photography
Excellent lighting source, easy to chance to settings to the heat level you need
