Is the Vivitar streaming kit worth buying?

Only as a very cheap extra light. Its 3.5W output is weak and owners rate it 1 out of 5, so most shoppers are better off spending more on a brighter light.

How long does the battery last?

Vivitar rates it at about 100 minutes at maximum brightness from a 500 mAh battery. A full charge takes about 120 minutes over micro USB.

The light, a USB cable, a suction cup mount and three diffusers: white, blue and orange.

Can I change the light color?

Yes. It has adjustable color temperature and a dimmer, and the snap-on diffusers shift the light warm, cool or neutral.

With a suction cup, so it sticks to smooth surfaces like a monitor back or mirror rather than a tripod.

Is $14.96 a good price?

It is the lowest new price among the 5 stores listed as of November 7, 2026, so it is a fair price for this kit. The bigger question is whether the light is bright enough for you.
