The Genaray 60 Watt Square LED light can work well as a single studio light. But I think the best use would be as a fill or rim light when paired with the Genaray 120W Twin light. Check out my review on that light.
I’m all in for this light as a videographer’s friend. Beautiful light. I only recommend these two lights for stills photographers if they have a studio set for commercial product or head-shot portrait business.

Video power
This is a great studio fill light for video interviews. Adding a battery makes it a solid location light if you are working with a crew and want gorgeous light while being out of the weather. You need the crew because of the weight of the light and you’ll need a solid support stand as well. The white cover over the 896 LEDS is perfect for spreading the light very nicely.
Photo power
The light can be used as a single light for stills photography in the studio as long as your subject is not moving. The shape and form of the light is flattering and useful. Even better I see this as a great fill light as I mentioned when paired with the Genaray 120W Twin light.
Location
With no specific carrying case to protect this light I recommend keeping the box in which this is packed and shipped. It’s a pretty strong box with a built in carry handle. The packing materials for keeping things in place are stronger than normal and you should end up OK if you are not traveling and unpacking/packing as a matter of course.
