It features 280pcs ultra-bright surface mounted LEDs and outputs 50W power, feeds 1200Lux luminance at 1m distance (centre), supports 0% to 100% PWM digital dimming, smoothly and non-flickering. It supports a 11-17V 3-pin XLR DC input and is equipped with a battery plate to power by V-mount battery.
The SWIT S-2620 is a versatile and portable flexible LED light designed for videographers and photographers who need adaptable lighting solutions, especially in tight spaces or for creative effects. Its key benefit is its ability to be curved into various shapes for unique lighting angles, combined with high-quality, flicker-free illumination. A potential caveat is its reliance on external power sources, either an AC adapter or a V-mount battery.

FAQs
What is the maximum continuous run time with a V-mount battery?
The run time depends on the capacity of the V-mount battery and the power output setting. A typical 95Wh V-mount battery could power the 50W light for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours at full brightness.
Can I use the S-2620 without the control box?
No, the control box is essential for powering, adjusting settings (dimming, color temperature), and receiving wireless signals. The light panel connects directly to the control box.
Is the S-2620 suitable for professional studio use?
Yes, its high CRI/TLCI, bi-color capabilities, and flicker-free output make it suitable for studio work, especially for product photography, interviews, or as a fill light in more complex setups.
How is the light panel attached to a stand?
The light panel comes with a foldable X bracket that attaches to the panel and has a standard mount for lighting tripods and stands.
What is the warranty period for the SWIT S-2620?
Please refer to the retailer or SWIT's official documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and seller.
Can I control individual lights if multiple are linked wirelessly?
The 2.4G wireless networking allows for cascading control. You can group lights to the same channel and control them simultaneously. For individual control, each light would need to be on a separate channel, or controlled manually.
What is the minimum bend radius for the flexible panel?
The product specifications do not detail a minimum bend radius, but it is designed to be flexible. Avoid sharp creases to maintain the integrity of the LEDs and fabric.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the control box, or that the V-mount battery is properly attached and charged. Check the power button on the control box.
Flickering light output
Verify that the dimming is set to 0% to 100% PWM digital dimming. Ensure the power source is stable and sufficient for the light's power draw.
Color temperature is not adjustable
Check that the light is powered on and that the control buttons are functioning. Ensure the unit is not in a locked mode if applicable. Restart the unit.
Wireless control not working
Confirm that all lights are set to the same wireless channel (A, B, C, or D) on their respective control boxes. Ensure units are within the effective wireless range (typically 30-50 meters).
Low brightness output
Check the dimming setting on the control box and ensure it is set to the desired level. Verify the power source is providing adequate voltage and amperage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Highly flexible and shapeable for unique lighting setups.
Excellent color rendition with high CRI and TLCI scores.
Flicker-free, dimmable light suitable for video and photography.
Bi-color capability for matching ambient light or creative choices.
Portable and can be powered by batteries for on-location use.
Rain-proof design enhances durability for outdoor applications.
Cons
Requires an external power source (AC adapter or battery), not self-powered.
The flexible fabric may be susceptible to damage if mishandled.
Control box is tethered, limiting placement flexibility relative to the light panel.
Maximum illuminance of 1200 Lux at 1m might be insufficient for some large-scale professional setups without additional lighting.
Wireless control requires multiple units to be set up on the same channel for cascading.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Attach the included X bracket to the light panel for mounting onto a standard lighting tripod or stand. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened.
Connect the power source: Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet and the XLR connector into the DC input on the control box, or attach a fully charged V-mount battery to the battery plate on the control box.
Power on the unit using the power button on the control box.
Compatibility:
Power Input: Accepts DC voltage between 11V and 17V via a 3-pin XLR connector. Compatible with most standard V-mount batteries and the included AC adapter.
Mounting: The included X bracket is compatible with standard 5/8" receiver mounts found on most light stands and tripods.
Wireless Control: Operates on 2.4G wireless frequency, allowing cascading control with other SWIT S-2620 units set to the same channel (A, B, C, or D).
Care:
Cleaning: The rain-proof fabric can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Storage: Store the light panel flat or gently curved in its carrying case when not in use to prevent damage to the LEDs and fabric.
Handling: While durable, avoid excessive force or sharp creases when bending the light panel to prolong its lifespan.
