Good price. Compact.
Nice compact light to use under (or above) water with your action camera. It will be great for those close in shots underwater. Will light up subject in any room. Color adjusting lens will take some experimentation to see the effect as there are no instructions. Seems as though it was a good buy.

Works!
Works as advertised - Fit's the Akaso just fine - easy to use.

Battery not removable / replaceable.
Battery not being replaceable was a big negative for me. Yes they have a fancy waterproof access door but that's JUST to get at the USB charging port. Most other action cam lights let you replace the battery or carry a spare for longer shoot times. It's definitely bright but it's also a bit on the heavy side. I returned this for one with a removable battery. As to the included filters, meh. I can't see throwing a dark warming filter on underwater shots. Just adjust the color in post.

Amazing for the Price
Works amazing on my GoPro. Wish I had gotten this sooner. I just wish the 2 mounts were the same. One mount uses a plate and not a clip. There is no where to get a replacement if it breaks. I may get a light with the 2 mounts that use the GoPro clip in mounts.

Sturdy, waterproof camera light; no warranty
This light has good output, on the high mode it is powerful enough for interior lighting for filming in the dark. It surely is very well sealed, with a silicon gasket on the back opening to the charging port and a single button to control the lighting modes. No way that I could test this at the stated 40 meters depth in the water, but I can tell this withstands being immersed in water, and that is enough for me to overcome this limitation in the common action camera lights. It comes with adapters for both action camera mounts and cold shoe slots as found on SLR cameras and camcorders. Everything seems to be of very good quality, and all work as expected.On the downside, the light does heat up more than other action camera lights, the flip side of the high level of output it provides. This should not be an issue when used underwater, and did not cause the light to stop working, so it’s more of an annoyance and something to plan for, as this light needs to be left to cool off before packing at the end of use.The charging port is a micro-USB, not the more modern USB-C. This limits the charging current to lower levels, and it does take a few hours to fully charge its battery. Also, there is no indication of the level of charge, there is only a red LED that lights up while charging and turns off when charging is complete. No way to tell how much is left in the battery while in use.The provided filters seem to be more about the aesthetics, not sure if any of the provided filter colors may make a difference for underwater filming. I expected a red filter, or maybe a green one. The pale pink filter is the closest to what is needed underwater. And the filters are not standard, they are proprietary, cannot buy different colors of them elsewhere.The instructions are intelligible and detailed, but are omitting the basic info on how to access the charging port. I am attaching a few picture that show the latch mechanism for the back panel, which has a tightly fitting silicone gasket that makes it not easy to open.I would forego all the above drawbacks if it wasn’t for the lack of warranty: for such a device, I really expected some warranty beyond amazon’s 30 day return. I cannot give a full five star rating, even though the light is very good and very well made.

Very bright! Love that it charges via usb and you don’t have to remove a battery to do so.
Snaps easily onto your gopro, akaso, whatever action cam you have depending on if you haven’t lost all the mounts that come with the camera, even still the light comes with some. Very well made, the filters are awesome, battery life last a good while even on high. Price is very good for what we are getting.
