Cheaply made. Light is very bright at dimmest setting. I returned it immediately. Review: Portable And Packed with Power! - I was initially looking to purchase this item from a local camera store and nearly gagged to death at the price of it. I decided to do a search for it here on desertcart and found it over $100.00 cheaper! This strobe works wonderfully so far, though I just bought it. I've seen it used in the industry and have yet to hear any complaints about it. I may write another review months or weeks later once I've used it a lot more. ## Features - High quality 198 soft-light LED light bulbs; Expandable up to 9 LED Bulbs - Dual-Color temperature bulbs design; Easily adjust color temperature between 5500K and 3200K. - Multiple Power Options; Eco-friendly & Power saving - Brightness control adjustment wheel; Special Appearance Design - Eco-friendly & power saving; Comes with battery power indicator ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BBYEQY0 | | Brand | GiSTEQ | | Customer Reviews | 2.9 2.9 out of 5 stars (3) | | Manufacturer | GiSTEQ | | Manufacturer Part Number | Flashmate F-198C | | Model Number | UK_GISC803F198C01-1 | | UPC | 898402001646 898402001974 | ## Images ![FlashMate F-198c - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5185E5OYjTL.jpg) ![FlashMate F-198c - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AkaPND5eL.jpg) ![FlashMate F-198c - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gSydVDS+L.jpg) ![FlashMate F-198c - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PmcJumlML.jpg) ![FlashMate F-198c - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dCQtkglhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Poorly constructed. *by J***D on January 20, 2015* The shoe on the device is made of cheap plastic. Cheaply made. Light is very bright at dimmest setting. I returned it immediately. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Portable And Packed with Power! *by O***T on December 27, 2013* I was initially looking to purchase this item from a local camera store and nearly gagged to death at the price of it. I decided to do a search for it here on Amazon and found it over $100.00 cheaper! This strobe works wonderfully so far, though I just bought it. I've seen it used in the industry and have yet to hear any complaints about it. I may write another review months or weeks later once I've used it a lot more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So near and yet so far. *by E***H on January 5, 2014* I just received my FlashMate LED panel and have begun using it for still photography. It is both so close to and so far from being perfect that I am compelled to write. Mounting the light on my camera is an infrequent need, but that is the only way the maker imagines this light standing. I want two loops to I can hang it from a tree or bungee it to the back of a chair to make an improvised light stand. If it must be of brittle plastic, wrap it in cushioning foam and make a cover that protects the face and swings down to make an adjustable base to stand it at varying angles on the floor. With the cover closed it should be fit for travel. Add a handle. None of these changes should increase the cost sufficiently, but they will make it far more portable and adaptable. With the changes described, this is the light I've been craving for work in the field where I shoot often in powerless abanadoned buildings and in old factories with dim lighing and dull walls. Alas, to use it now I will carry it in it's carton and cope with tiny parts that will be lost, and it will never quite stand as I will need it unless I lug a second tripod. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1166842-flashmate-f-198c](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1166842-flashmate-f-198c) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
