Fantastic light for the price. You'll be hard pressed to find as a light as versatile and quality as this one for cheaper. The stand included seems durable and extends to a reasonable height and the diffusion cover, in addition to the built-in dimmer, gives a range of applications and lets this light do some great stuff with beauty photography, or work as a soft fill light for larger lighting setups. The ring shape gives a great eyelight and it come with a mount so that you can have your camera and the light on the same stand, shooting through the light, which is great when shooting in tight corners. (Protip: Doing this results in that wonderful ring light in the subjects eyes, and can really soften facial features for a solid "glamour shot" look.)
Before purchasing the NOVA, I looked into many other similar products online and was surprised by the lack of quality beauty ring lights. Many used multiple cheap, household bulbs, rather than the "tube" flourescent design. I found a few in cheaper price ranges that looked similar, but came from small brands that were hard to find information on; a big red flag I recognized from my days working as a studio manager. Manufacturing is typically low quality and product support such as basic customer service lines, are non-existent or purposefully designed to confuse and frustrate customers into giving up on getting assistance/returns. I haven't had reason to contact the company for support on this product yet, but I've utilized DVE's Flolights before and can say nothing but good things about my experience with that product and the support provided by the company for it.
It would be nice if the light came with a travel bag for it and the stand, but the box it comes in works decently for storage and transportation in a car, just doesn't look as professional as a solid canvas bag with some padding would. But that is literally the only negative thing I can think of concerning this bundle, and that's just me being picky.

Dangerous defects with NO brand support
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS LIGHT. Fire hazard, personal injury risk and does not function as advertised.I am a professional artist, YouTube content creator, 11 time author, and a 20 year business owner. A week after unboxing and assembly of this light, the switch malfunctioned, only turning on if I vigorously tapped the switch. Additionally when using the Z bracket I noticed the gooseneck would not support the weight of my phone. Since I film overhead 80% of the time, I immediately called to report the issue.The return call was filled with veiled information that made it clear this gooseneck/z bracket combo whose benefits are front and center of Diva light’s marketing, was known to be defective. I was given a cobbled together workaround suggestion.I proceeded to use the light with my own series of workarounds (see attached photo of the two supports needed to make this light functional) since the brand was not willing to offer a refund despite their overtly misleading marketing.Fast forward a few months, my light is now overheating and the workaround setup has simply become more cumbersome than I’m willing to accept for a nearly $400 investment.Diva light openly admits their gooseneck/z bracket combo is defective, promises an aftermarket solution is in production but not shipping yet. Interesting…Despite the fact that this light does not function for my needs as it was advertised, I was only offered a repair to my in-warranty light. Furthermore, the repair would take weeks. For a full time content creator who uploads 3X a week on YouTube, being without a light/phone rig for weeks is not possible.My request for a refund given the misleading marketing was denied.My request for a replacement light in lieu of a lengthy repair was denied.Diva light takes weeks to reply unless nudged.I purchased the “Canvas” light system at less than half the cost of Diva and am blown away at the quality.I’m left only to handle my Diva transaction via my credit card company as this brand has NO intention of standing by their product.
