You would need a pretty big flashlight to match the power and you know how inconvenient those would be to carry around everywhere. Now that’s a lot of power for a device this small.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea – having a small, powerful and portable light has a lot of advantages! Just think about it for a second – the Nikon SB-500 has three LED lights and it can only output up to 100 lumens, while the Lume Cube is 15 times more powerful at 1500 lumens. You could even get a waterproof case and throw these things in a pool to light it up for your next underwater project. If you are a wedding photographer, think about how cool it would be to use a few of these as video lights, or perhaps additional lights to light up the dancefloor! With the ability to remotely control each light, you could easily dim the lights in those special moments, or have them assist your flash and only light up when your flash goes off (yes, this little thing has a built-in optical sensor too!). The possibilities with the Lume Cube are endless.

If you have been using Nik Software (now Google Nik Collection), these are the same guys that wrote the software and eventually sold it to Google.
The people behind this product have previously worked on very successful projects. In addition, you can attach it to any tripod or camera accessory with the standard mount and the built-in magnet / suction cup design allows the Lume Cube to be attached to pretty much any surface. Brightness can be adjusted from 0 to 1500 lumens, giving you plenty of flexibility over its use. These little devices can work either as external flash for photos, or as continuous lights for video. In fact, you can control up to 5 Lume Cubes wirelessly (over Bluetooth) to give you plenty of control over your setup. And that’s not even the best part – the Lume Cube can be controlled remotely with your phone. With 1,500 lumens in a 1.5″ cube design, it is small enough to put several units in your pocket and use when needed. So what is Lume Cube and why do I think it is an innovative product? Let’s take a closer look.īasically, the Lume Cube is a small, powerful LED light source that can be used for all kinds of photography and videography needs. After seeing the product, Roman and I actually went back to see it again next day to find out more about it and to snap some pictures for our readers. However, there were a few things that I found that got me very excited and one of them was the Lume Cube.

It seemed like the exhibit floor was full of the same things we had previously seen, except this year the organizers did not allow any Chinese companies on the floor (most likely because some of them were selling the exact same products as the bigger companies at a much lower price last year). I was a bit disappointed by the Photo Plus Expo this year in New York, because unlike last year, I did not find a lot of innovative products to be excited about.
