Live prices and creator coverage for the Zhiyun FIVERAY M40 Powerful 40W Pocket LED Light - everything in one place.
Our editorial take on the Zhiyun FIVERAY M40 Powerful 40W Pocket LED Light
The Zhiyun FIVERAY M40 is a compact, 40W LED light designed for portability and flexible illumination. With an adjustable color temperature range of 2700K to 6200K and dimming from 0 to 100%, it offers versatility for various shooting conditions. Its integrated 2600mAh battery provides nearly half an hour of runtime at maximum output, an important consideration for mobile creators.
Measuring just over 5 inches long and weighing 0.7 pounds, the M40 aims to provide significant light output in a small package. The inclusion of two 1/4"-20 female threads allows for multiple mounting options, and its stated color accuracy (CRI 96, TLCI 97) suggests reliable color rendition. This light could be a useful tool for those needing a powerful, on-the-go lighting solution.
While offering strong output for its size, users should be aware of its relatively short maximum runtime on battery. The fan-passive cooling system may also introduce considerations for audio recording in quiet environments. It serves as a pocket-sized option for fill light or accent lighting.
- High light output (40W) in a compact form factor
- Adjustable color temperature from tungsten to daylight
- Excellent stated color accuracy (CRI 96, TLCI 97)
- Built-in battery and USB-C charging for portability
- Multiple mounting points (two 1/4"-20 threads)
- Limited battery runtime at maximum brightness (29 minutes)
- No preprogrammed effects or advanced lighting features
- Fan-based cooling could be a factor in sound-sensitive environments
- No power pass-through capability
