<summary>Question: What's the difference between UA12 and UA20?</summary>
<div>
Answer: UA12 ($33.95) is the 12W smaller tube — 75 minutes runtime at full brightness, ideal for accent / fill / hair light, makeup tutorials, and tabletop. UA20 ($59.95) is the 20W larger tube — 55 minutes runtime at full brightness, brighter and longer for medium-distance fill on portraits and small-set scenes. Both share the same 18Wh battery; UA20 simply draws faster. Many buyers grab the $85 UA12+UA20 Dual Bundle to cover both roles.

<summary>Question: How does it inflate — is the pump built in?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Yes — the inflation pump is built into the grip. Press the inflate button and the tube fills automatically in about 10-20 seconds. Deflation is one-touch release. No external pump, no manual blowing, no air-tank assembly.

<summary>Question: Is it bi-color or RGB?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Bi-color (warm-to-cool white) — stepless adjustment from 2700K to 6500K. NOT RGB. There are 12 preset light effects (lightning, fire, fireworks, candle, TV, police, paparazzi, etc.) for cinematic video use, but all in white-tone variants. For full RGB color work look at Ulanzi's VL series.

<summary>Question: How does it compare to the AL60 Inflatable?</summary>
<div>
Answer: UA12 and UA20 are the smaller portable versions; AL60 (60W) is the larger main-light version. UA12/UA20 run on internal battery (75min / 55min); AL60 requires external USB-C PD power (no internal battery). UA series is the grab-and-go option for one-person vlog/stream/portrait; AL60 is for bigger set work. The 60W+12W+20W combo bundle ($239.99 in the AL60 listing) gives you all three sizes.

<summary>Question: How do I mount it on a stand or rig it overhead? </summary>
<div>
Answer: The grip has a built-in magnetic mount AND a 1/4" thread for any standard tripod, light stand, or magic arm. The integrated lanyard hole also lets you hang it from a hook for overhead/ceiling positioning. The magnet sticks firmly to metal stands, fridges, or any ferromagnetic surface.

<summary>Question: How long does the battery last, and how do I charge it?</summary>
<div>
Answer: 18Wh internal battery. UA12 runs 75 minutes at full brightness; UA20 runs 55 minutes (more output = faster drain). At lower brightness, multiply runtime accordingly. Charging is USB-C and takes about 2 hours from empty. You can run it while charging if needed for a long shoot.

<summary>Question: Is the inflatable durable — will it pop?</summary>
<div>
Answer: The tube material is reinforced and resilient under normal handling — carry it in the included bag, avoid sharp objects (pins, nails, broken glass, sharp branches), and don't sit on it. Reviewer feedback is positive on build quality. Treat it as a piece of indoor / fair-weather outdoor lighting, not as rough-and-tumble gear.
