Choosing a lighting setup for a small studio usually comes down to a simple question: do you want multiple lights placed around your subject, or one powerful handheld unit you can position quickly? The four options covered here span that range, with listed prices from $52.99 to $379.05. On the lower-priced side you get two-panel and two-softbox kits. On the higher-priced side you get compact 200W Zhiyun Molus lights with app control and, in one case, RGB color output.
Quick Take
The 2 Pack LED Video Light Kit Studio 2700-6500K Dimmable Photo Tripod Photography is the lower-priced route to two trim panels, while the 2x 85W Studio LED Softbox Lighting Kit Photography Studio Video Light Tripod delivers softbox-style light for a similar price. If you want more power in one light, the Zhiyun Molus X200 200W BiColor Handheld LED Video Light Bowens Mount APP Control adds a Bowens mount and bicolor control, and the Zhiyun Molus X200 RGB Combo 200W Handheld LED Video Light Portable 2500K-10000K steps up to RGB color and a wider color-temperature range.

Product Notes
2 Pack LED Video Light Kit Studio 2700-6500K Dimmable Photo Tripod Photography
At $52.99, this two-pack is a straightforward way to get a pair of LED panels into your setup without spending much. The kit offers three color temperatures-2700K, 4800K, and 6500K-plus brightness adjustable from 10 to 100%, which is useful close to your subject. The panels are compact and work with a tripod-oriented photo/video layout, and the remote control lets you change brightness without walking over to the light. The limitation is output: at 15W per panel, this is built for close-range portraits, product work, or video fill rather than large-area studio coverage.
2x 85W Studio LED Softbox Lighting Kit Photography Studio Video Light Tripod
For $59.39, this kit trades bare panels for two softboxes attached to an adjustable tripod light stand. It includes LED bulbs with warm, natural, and white color modes, and the softbox design spreads and softens the light, making it a good match for portrait or still-life sessions. The E27 socket and remote control keep the setup straightforward, and having two lights means you can create a simple key-and-fill arrangement. The compromise is power: this is not in the same output class as the 200W handheld lights in this guide, so it works best when your subject is close to the softbox.
Zhiyun Molus X200 200W BiColor Handheld LED Video Light Bowens Mount APP Control
At $280.25, the X200 BiColor sits between the two lower-priced kits and the RGB Combo. It delivers 200W of bicolor light with a 2700K-6500K range and a CRI index of at least 95. The Bowens mount is a practical feature if you already own softboxes or reflectors, and ZY Vega app control adds wireless dimming. This is the X200 BiColor Standard light rather than the Combo kit, and the condition is marked used. For a compact 200W light with standard modifier compatibility, this is the one to weigh.
Zhiyun Molus X200 RGB Combo 200W Handheld LED Video Light Portable 2500K-10000K
At $379.05, this is the highest-priced light in the group, and its appeal starts with RGB color control and a 2500K-10000K color-temperature range. The handheld 200W design is portable, and the ZY Vega app supports wireless dimming and RGB effects over Bluetooth. If you want one light that can go from neutral white to colorful accent lighting, this Combo version extends the creative range beyond the bicolor X200. The catch is price and condition: it is the most expensive option here, and the condition is marked used. For a compact, high-output RGB source, it is a flexible pick.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Two-panel versatility at a lower price: go with the 2 Pack LED Video Light Kit Studio 2700-6500K Dimmable Photo Tripod Photography.
- Soft, tripod-mounted light for still life or portraits: choose the 2x 85W Studio LED Softbox Lighting Kit Photography Studio Video Light Tripod.
- Compact bicolor with modifier compatibility: look at the Zhiyun Molus X200 200W BiColor Handheld LED Video Light Bowens Mount APP Control.
- Wide color range in a handheld RGB light: pick the Zhiyun Molus X200 RGB Combo 200W Handheld LED Video Light Portable 2500K-10000K.
