My Thoughts
I saw these at the Photography Show and thought they were really good value for money. I bought one on the spot! Having tested it I feel my instincts were right and that it is indeed a very useful light. I'm comparing them against 2 year old £3000 Kino Celeb 200s. This is not so much a comment on the quality of the Kinos, which was amazing at the time, but more an observation that LED Lighting just keeps getting better!

I recently got PixaPro 100d MK2, and it is great. This Glowpad also looks very good.

It looks very much like my Mettle Rpad-112 you can buy for 28 euro at Aliexpress.
There appears to be a Mettle Rpad 450d as well

Yes true, I was refering to it as my cause to suspect these came from the same company.
I continue my post with the RPAD 450D that appears to be the same one.
EDIT Found: Neewer Rpad-450 or METTLE Rpad-18D

@RKM --- I concur, the slightly more expensive one is identical:
The price makes sense once you take shipping and a little profit into consideration.
Howdy, Stranger!
