LED Studio Light Ulanzi VIJIM VL81 — 3200–5500K, Battery 11.1Wh, Black

Ulanzi VIJIM VL81 is a compact, rechargeable LED studio light offering adjustable colour temperature from 3200 K to 5500 K and stepless brightness control. Designed for photo and video use, the unit integrates a built-in 11.1 Wh (3000 mAh) battery and a USB Type-C charging port for on-location shooting without mains power. Its black housing includes multiple shoe mounts and a 1/4"-20 threaded mounting point so the light can be attached directly to cameras, cages, mini tripods or other supports for flexible placement during interviews, product shoots and vlogging.

Advantages

The VL81 provides variable white balance control in a small, transportable form factor, enabling consistent colour across mixed lighting conditions. Simple rear dials allow quick adjustment of colour temperature and output level while the internal battery and USB Type-C charging make it suitable for mobile and studio workflows. Multiple shoe mounts expand setup options for additional lights or accessories such as microphones, and the bottom 1/4"-20 thread ensures compatibility with common mounting hardware.

How to use

Charge the VL81 using a USB Type-C cable connected to a USB power source before use. Mount the light on a camera shoe, cage, mini tripod or other support using the bottom 1/4"-20 thread or the integrated shoe mount. Use the rear dials to switch the unit on, adjust brightness and set colour temperature between 3200 K and 5500 K to match ambient light or achieve the desired white balance. For increased illumination or multi-angle lighting, add extra units to available shoe mounts or stack multiple lights on compatible supports.

Usage recommendations

For consistent skin tones and product colours, set the VL81 colour temperature to match your main light source or use a neutral reference (white card) to fine-tune white balance in-camera. When shooting longer sessions, keep a power bank available to recharge via USB Type-C if needed. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture and store in a dry place when not in use.
