Trouble with Fan Noise? Dracast DRX2000RGB LED Light
In this episode we try out the new X-Series LED2000 light panel from Dracast. This full RGB and bi-color LED panel is great for use as a key light, background light, effects light, and more. With high color quality and no cooling fans, this panel is also a great option for lighting your livestreams! In this video we walk through the LED2000’s well-rounded feature set, have a look at the remote control app, and examine the results of our color quality tests. Then we demonstrate all the great things this light is capable of! Let’s take a closer look!
