In conclusion, this nifty light is pretty useful and easy to throw into any photography kit.
Able to be operated via a smartphone app.A slew of compatible accessories, both new and old.New icons and buttons that make it easier to see what you’re doing.Much better lighting output than Version 1.It won’t replace that of a professional strobe or large softbox. However, keep in mind that despite its power, this is still a small light. With the various accessories you can buy, it’s easy to control and tone the LED light for almost any situation. This feature was sacrificed for a more useful charging seal, but, this device can still be used for underwater photography. However, the waterproofing is not as good as the previous version. It is is also waterproof enough to be used for underwater shots. This cube is light enough to be attached to a drone to add some extra light to drone footage and photography. Vloggers and self-portrait photographers can attach the cube to a cell phone via the company’s nifty adapter and illuminate their faces in a flattering and professional way. You can light up a wedding cake or table setting by placing the cube near your subject, or even light a subject for a quick, spontaneous portrait! The Lume Cube 2.0 has a big use in wedding and event photography. Turn the light on and off by holding down the power button, and increase/decrease the brightness by pressing the plus/minus button. The Lume Cube 2.0 has just two buttons, and that is all that you need.

There is a power button, a plus icon, a minus icon, and power icon all around the device- making understanding what you’re doing easy. This little LED light has a slew of uses. It can also be used as a traditional built-in 1/4″ 20 for Tripod Mounting and off-camera use. The Lume Cube 2.0 can be used as a flash unit, featuring a 360º Optical Sensor for Slave Flash Capability (so the light can sense the remote from anywhere).
This aids you in not needing to run back and forth between the light and your shooting position. You can control the light via your smartphone or smart device from up to 60 feet away. You can adjust in 1% increments for even more manually tailored control. This new version also has a low light output mode for night photography. In real-life use, I’d consider the Lume Cube 2.0 LED light to last several more hours. This will last you significantly longer as no one shoots consistently at 100% output without pause.

The light is rated to last 1.5 Hour Run Time at its 100% full output.
#Lume reviews upgrade#
This is a big upgrade from the previous version (keeping in tune with current technological trends). The Lume Cube 2.0 can be charged by USB-C. I would spent hours color correcting for accurate colors. I found this out the hard way back when I didn’t understand light and light bulbs. This minimizes the color correction and white balance correction time when post-processing. The light is true daylight-balanced 5600K Color Temp & 95+ CRI. The light that exudes from this small cube can be as powerful as that of car headlights!
The Lume Cube 2.0 remains a tiny size of 1.6 inches x 1.6 inches- but don’t let that fool you.
