Lume Cubes are Fantastic!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017

I have used these fantastic little lights with my go Pro and with my Vlog Canon camera setup. They are fantastic. Compact enough you can fit them in your pocket and the different levels of light you and control from your mobile device make them a must buy for your rig. If you will have to have them on full for any period of time be ready to take your pics or video because the battery will run out, in what can seem to be a short period. {About 20 - 30 min I believe. It is hard to tell when you are trying to set up for the shot} So get setup without using the lights then make your lighting adjustments so you have more time. Not a complaint.. just letting you know this is something you will have to prepare for because they are battery powered. The brightness is crazy.. so bright you do not want to look directly into the light, and adjust down to a great soft light if needed.

Can't Access Charging Port

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019

The cover to the charging port on both cubes is so tight I cannot remove it in spite of multiple attempts. I have two other lume cubes I purchased a few years ago, and I like them very much. I would like to be able to use my new cubes as I purchased them for the new features. I prefer not to return them, but may have to, if I cannot access the charging ports or if I have to struggle every time I try to remove the cover to the charging ports.

Super bright and doesn't heat up

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2019

These light cubes are awesome. They're small, bright, and don't seem to heat up in or out of the water. With the mounting options, you can use them for so many things. With Gopro mounts, I put them on my mountain bike for night riding. I put one on my Gopro ready dive mask for night diving and night rock running. I'm still finding uses for them. The only negative thing I can say about them is they need to be charged regularly...a full charge won't last long...one penalty for their small size. Highly recommended.

Rugged, easy to use, and CRAZY bright

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019

I ordered these for using during my underwater photography sessions--I've played with them a bit to get the hang of using them in preparation for a dive trip I have coming up this weekend and I'm very impressed so far. Easy to use, super rugged and durable, and SO bright. Even at less than full power, the amount of illumination these provide is insane. Can't wait to get these into the water during my upcoming trip to a local spring and can't wait to post the photos I'm hoping to get as a result.

Little light with big brightness

Love how small and bright these little guys are use them all the time with phone, photobooth, and even lighting needed for web meetings. Can be controlled by the app on your phone which works very well.

Great lights. Very bright. Control App needs work.

The Lume Cube lights are wonderfully bright and easy to operate and set up. They last plenty long for most applications and the bluetooth capabilities could be very useful if the proprietary app was a little better fine tuned. I noticed that the connection is intermittent with the app, sometimes rendering the lights unresponsive or delayed in turning on or off and after assigning numbers or individual names to the devices in the app, they randomly change order. That's a real pain in the butt when you're trying to create something with a linear or chronological operation. I'm sure the app developers can correct these small annoyances with the proper amount of effort and diligence. Otherwise, the lights are terrific.

I bought a couple of these for underwater videos while snorkeling (below 10mt dives).
After 3 months one light stopped working (red blinking and no charging anymore).
Quite disappointed for that price.

Caution: Lume Cube

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016

The Lume cube is great, the Lume Cube is bright, the Lume Cube is waterproof, the Lume Cude is small but the Lume Cube gets REALLY hot. I have had intermittent incidents when the cube could not be shut off ,nor can the brightness level be adjusted. with any of the on board switches, and not with the app. The internal temperature circuit finally shut it down.
Lume Cube support has offered a replacement unit but will only cover shipping if they determine the unit is defective. As this is an intermittent issue, most likely shipping would not be covered.
I have not requested an RMA due to that policy.

Decent little lights but quirky control app.

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019

In general I found the lights to work as advertised when operated manually. I use them for night photography and urbex type photography. They throw a lot of light in high and dim down very low for low level lighting. I have found that the battery indicator on the app is often misleading. Either that or it is inaccurate or battery does not charge fully. For example, I can charge the the lights fully, wait 10 minutes with them turned off, fire up the app and the lights and the app will read 80% charge. A bit weird, to be honest. The app is just ok and is finicky. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times not at all. Further, since the app swipes left and right for adjusting the light intensity, I've found that swiping left will often attempt to delete your connection rather than move the scroll bar. This too is frustrating. I thought about the gels and magnetic housing, but the prices is a high, so do just fine with gels, scissors and rubber bands for attaching the gels. Thus, I am 70/30 on the lights on the satisfaction/frustration level, the latter mostly b/c of the app's foibles.

Solid product and super bright

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2016

The Lume Cube packs a lot of lumens into a small footprint. The housing is durable and water resistant up to 100ft (I have not tried the unit's underwater capability). The color temperature is not quite the standard daylight 5600K, but at 6000K, it's close enough and can be corrected further in post, if needed. The Lume Cube Pro App is somewhat awkward. The precision and action of the slider switches is not 100% reliable. I have tested the optical slave and found it to misfire occasionally. For the price point, convenient size and durability, I think Lume Cube is an excellent value, despite the minor shortcomings.
