The SmallRig RF10C is a small focusable LED light with colored output and projection patterns. It is fun for portraits, provided you understand its brightness limits.

Patterns in a compact light
I demonstrate the focusing control, colored LEDs, and pattern inserts. Blue was my favorite color for contrast against skin tones. Changing the LED color can shift the pattern position, so I adjust the light again after a change.
Best in controlled light
This is not a powerful daylight light. I found it more useful indoors with low ambient light or at night. The sample portraits show what it can do when the surrounding light is controlled.
My buying advice
Watch the brightness demonstrations before buying it for a particular job. Its creative appeal is real, but the output needs to match your environment and working distance.
