Our take on the Elgato Key Light Mini
The Elgato Key Light Mini is a small battery LED panel for streamers who move around. It clips or magnets onto a rig and gives you a face light away from a desk.
It puts out 800 lumens across 2900 to 7000 K and dims fully. The battery runs 4 hours at 50% brightness, with bypass mode and fast charge. Mounting uses a built-in magnet and a quarter-inch thread, and it weighs 290 g. Controls sit on the unit and in the app for Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. Retailers rate it 4.4 across 812 ratings, at a tracked $100.
- Rechargeable and light at 290 g
- Magnet and quarter-inch thread mounts
- 2900 to 7000 K color range
- Battery lasts 4 hours at 50% brightness
- 800 lumens is modest next to desk panels
Where it fits in a build
A lit face reads as higher production than any camera upgrade. At a desk one key light is enough; in the field a pocket light on the rig keeps you visible after dark. See every lighting pick
