Is this usable for any light situation?

Flicker issues and ambiguous WB

If it doesn't flicker then lights like that are much more useful for background fill lights or lights that you know you are going to gel a lot. I would never use it on faces without a lot of testing and a lot more luck. I have Cool Lights LED's that I try to never use as a key light in normal situations but are very useful for other things. Especially if you don't need to make them match other lights.

Good for lighting the craft services table on an indie night shoot. :smiley:

I agree, and it's amazing how rarely we get that.

I think Costco is useful for certain things, but not decent lighting gear for cinematographers. Batteries for little stuff... sure.
