You can’t do any better than this for the price.
This thing is a work godsend! I’ve bought 3 and in close range with a diffuser you can definitely use this as a three light set up. Just make sure you use a defused sheet to soften the light.

The light of a thousand uses
Fantastic little light you can use for all kinds of creative projects. I use mine as a fill light for video (using a white light) and also as a background accent light in RGB mode (I change mine to teal, blue or magenta depending on mood). The light also comes with a wrap-around diffuser which does an excellent job of softening the light. Turns it into a glowing ball of light! The one thing I didn’t care for with this light was the mobile app. The design and UX of it isn’t all that great. Hard to setup and use. No instructions in the box or in the mobile app. Through sheer determination and experimentation I eventually figured it out. Now I can control everything on the light with my phone.

I LOVE THIS LIGHT!
Since I got this, I have used it on almost every video shoot I have been on! I still light my subjects with full-sized lights, but where this little light has become a hero is for the background. Those little nooks and crannies in the background of shots (especially in interviews) that just need a little extra light. The light is easy to set to whatever HSL color you want, or the color temperature of white light. Brightness is adjusted simply with a wheel on the side. The info screen is easy to understand and navigate. If you need it to do more complex things, you can connect to the app.
The App works well (a little more work to figure it out) but I have never had any issue connecting the light to it. (Which is often where apps for camera and lighting fall apart... they are no good to me if I cannot get the equipment to connect to it when I am out in the field!) But the app for this light remembers my light every time and connects instantly.
Battery life is surprisingly good! At full brightness, it lasts more than an hour. It does seem a little slow to charge back up again, but I have run it while it was plugged in and it seemed to work fine. You can run it from an outlet or from a power bank if you have the right kind.
Overall, I love this light and plan to purchase more in the future. I really didn't realize how handy this little thing would be when I got it, and now I consider it to be part of my everyday kit.

Awesome product with great features
I bought a Lume cube first before I found out about this. The MC is miles better for a few dollars more. Awesome features and very versatile. The iOS version of the app works much better than android. Fortunately, I have both, so I'm fine in that department. I eventually got a second MC and it's awesome to control both remotely with the app. I'll definitely get more Aputure products in the future

Use the app for best/easiest use
It’s a small light but it should have a place in every filmmaker’s arsenal
It’s the perfect piece to finish off the look for really selling the scene/story that your trying to portray!
Makes great use of the possible effects from lightening to flickering TVs and even a police or ambulance lights
Use the app for the easiest configuration!

Question & Answer
Question :
Does anyone know if the bluetooth signal emitted by the aputure al-mc can be turned off?
Answer :
There is no setting in the menus to turn off BT. You have options to reset (used for pairing) it but my experience is that it is always on. I use the Sidus app to control two of them and it works really well. I'm not completely sure but it seems only one of the MCs connects via BT and then that MC connects to the other ones without needing to pair all of them to your phone/device.
Question :
Does this have to be run off battery or can you run it off wall power?
Answer :
you should be able to run it off of a usb c cable
Question :
Is it easy to adjust to full spectrum?
Answer :
i'm pretty sure you can do that in the App
Question :
Does it have 1/4 20 thread hole?
Answer :
Yes, on the "bottom" centered on the long side.
Question :
Anyone have any issues with overheating if you have this plugged in and on all day?
Answer :
I use this only as a highlight or background light for photography. As such, it's only on for limited time periods, not for hours. It gets warm, but not hot. (Not in my experience, anyway!) If you have other applications in mind, I'd call the manufacture.
Question :
Are there gel filters available for this so you can lower the kelvin scale, lower than 3200K to say 2800K??
Answer :
There's no provision like a frame, but I imagine it could be cut to fit inside the diffuser, or positioned in front o filter the light.
This is a very versatile, small light source, highly adjustable brightness, color, etc.
Question :
does this change colors? like blue, pink….
Answer :
Yes. It has all the colors
