Why'd it say lux at the bottom at 6:50?

I am Gerald undone and I operate in silence because I am passively cooled.

You are the only reviewer i trust when it comes to cameras and related gear, your attention to detail is outstanding, keep up the great work.

I picked up the VL300 based on your last review, and I'm very glad I did. The UL looks like exactly what I need as the next piece of my lighting puzzle. Thank you for yet another superb review.

A video about different light domes would be amazing. Cheers

I bought 2 VL150s based on your review in April and honestly cannot be happier! Thank you for paying attention to these affordable lights to help those of us who can't afford Aputure's gear.

I'm Gerald Undone and I... will always love you

I’ve only just watched the older April video. This is really helpful. As i don’t know much about lights, it’s a minefield of numbers trying to figure out what’s worth it. This, and the previous video, has made choosing much more straight forward

Happy to see your video on this! I'm a Godox light user as well and am so happy they keep pumping out better lights. :D

A few questions 1. At the end of the day with money not being an issue would you choose Aputure over Godox 2. Does the 300D also give off that warmer green tint and the VL200/300 give off that cooler magenta tint? Thanks for your time and love your content!

Great timing Gerald, was just about forking the money for Aputure 120D... UL-150 here I come!

Excellent as usual Gerald 👍. Your reviews are unbeatable.

I literally just ordered the VL150 a few days ago and saw this video and was like, 'aw shucks, I should've waited!'. But now, after watching your video, I'm still going to stick with the VL150 because the fan noise won't be too much of an issue for me, plus it's smaller and comes with a case, which is a huge plus! Love your videos, Gerald. You've taught me so much.

Unbiased, scientific and precise as always. Thanks Gerald. Picked up a couple of UL150s thanks to your review!

Thanks for this video. I've been looking to add lights to my kit and this is just what the doctor ordered.

don't use lights, but get a huge kick out of watching you perform, so cool Gerald.

Typically outstanding video from Gerald. 💛🙏🏼

Thank you for this lighting review. It dialed me into purchasing the UL 150IiBi

greatest gear reviewer on the Tubes. Cheers!

This video is very insightful - having fans making noises during recording is a total minus. And that is a cool background color!

Yeah, I was looking for this as well.. Thanks for the review, Gerald! Another honest review!

These Godox videos have been so helpful! I’m about to pick up a VL150 right now - thank you for helping!

I bought two SL200 II's on sale for $ 350 each and I'm very happy with these devices i dont need expensive pack of V-Mount battery's and external power supply`s Built in power supply is great option for me But sad - no carry bag :(

Great video Gerald! Been looking at your COB videos for sometime and looks like the UL-150 is the light that finally checks the boxes I’ve been looking for. Thank you and please keep the great content coming!

Finally a wonderful comparison while they are in silent mode. thanks

Excellent comparison as always. I was looking at the VL150 based on your previous video but the UL150 is definitely the best choice for me now as I prefer no noise. Great video! Thank you for the comparison as it really helps.

bought 2 vl-300 because of your review. I love them so far, super quiet! Thanks for being the man to count on and not a QVC salesman!!!

Your new style of thumpnail is really on point. Love it in a marketer eye

This information-density is outstanding. As a newb sometimes a bit overwhelming but also sparks that nerdy passion for technical details. Love it! Probably gonna go for the UL150, because the fact that it produces the best accuracy at no noise is just outstanding. Are there even any downsides to it compared to anything else in this pricerange??

Another great, video with a lot of useful information for people trying to decide between the various Godox models or between the Aputure and the Godox lights. Thanks, Gerald😊

Fantastic works as always Gerald. I've been recommending your channel to the course participants on Ali Abdaal's Part-time KZfaq Academy course. We have Bhav as one of the peer supporters and it was super nice to see you on her podcast!

Would love to see you review the Yongnuo YNLUX100 Pro Bi-Color LED Monolight. Thanks for all the great videos.

Your reviews are very informative, thorough and very useful, Thank you !!

EXCELLENT review and comparison, Gerald. I think I have my COB light of choice to pick up, finally.

This is why I subscribed to Gerald Undone. Great video.

I wish there was a good comparison online between the Godox lights and the Intellytech Pocket Cannon Fresnels. I know they are different types of lights, but the Intellytech lights look super solid and are based in Denver.

super helpful review - thank you!

Promo today at B&H and Adorama UL 150 = $284 ... Yes! I bought it! Amazing price!

Man you read my mind for you to review theses. Still gonna get the VL150 as it comes with a carrier bag vs the UL150

Great review as always! Will you do an "endurance" test with these lights, to see how the UL stacks up, if temperatures build up - get too high, and if this may make it prone to last less than the fan powered counterparts?

I just got two of these today and I can say already I think they are fantastic. I used these to replace two Fiilex P360s what’s great about them, apart from no noise, is that I can run them well below full-power and they are barely warm so no noise and very little heat.

What an excellent, concise and comprehensive review!

I wish you safety from corona and a good summer!❤ No need to like or sub🤷‍♀️ Have a great day!😁

So glad I found this. Recently upgraded the fan on the sl60w I purchased and the temperature is rising to 125 ish vs the 109. I'm going to have to replace it again with a better version, but the next upgrade definitely looks like the ul150.

I have a VL150 sitting in my shipping cart on Amazon. I'll be changing that now! Many thanks!

Hey Gerald! When's the UL150ii review going to come out?

Hey Gerald, Sorry pedantic acoustic engineer here, i just wanted to let you know the noise data as presented is a little meaningless.important Anyway, sorry if this is too boring and technical, and indeed it is way more pedantic than necessary. Just wanted to let you know incase you were interested in the future. Keep up the great work!

Why didn’t you mention the phone app? Is the ul150 compatible with the godox app (or however it’s called)? For me that’s a must. Anyone know anything about the app compatibility? Great review as always btw!

Awesome video as usual. Thanks Gerald

Godox are making very interesting products at a very aggressive prices, that's a fact. But I can't help but be concerned about the quality and responsiveness of the after-sales service. I mean just take an eye on the contact page from Aputure and Godox, one is more precise whereas the other one is a simple mail address. And customer feedback on Godox's services don't look good :/ As an independant videomaker it's difficult to spend a thousand dollars on a light but on the other hand it may be a safe bet in a few years if I can repair or have equipment changed quickly... So yeah these are my concerns currently

I’m Gerald Undone and this is how the cookie crumbles.

I’m super impressed how far Godox has went to establish them self on the stage of Video Lights.. I just wished Godox would release their padded case for single purchase.. Anyone with a SL 150W II with some what louder fans?

Godox is really taking on the challenges of providing professionals the tools they need. One question -- how would lights of this wattage mix with direct sun to either lighten shadows or provide a keylight when the sun is backlighting the subject? Is 150W enough, or would you need a 300W light for this?

I was sold until you said no carrying case :/ Excellent review, Gerald! Thanks.

I bought the UL150 and its an amazing light for the price.

As usual love watching these reviews even though i will never ever buy any of these stuff to use like they want/need to lol. Well done.

Hey Gerald i have a request for the next time u review a COB light. how well can the light can be cut with barndoors? Does it create multishadow with no modifier? i other word how dense is COB. Either way thanks for the review.

Love the show man. Q: What light are you using for the wall spot behind you? (Perfect spread) BTW: I often have your intro jingle stuck in my head during shoots. Pretty funny/annoying/ahhhhhhh/stop moments

Hey Gerald, thanks for all the thorough tests you make ! Did you get a chance at testing the new UL150II and/or UL150IIBi ? Cheers !

I was looking for a powerful light without a fan and found the Godox UL150. I am shooting video in a small confined space. My good mics will certainly pick up fan noise. I like the buiuld quality and the high output. Further issues I would love to see covered include 1. Different approaches to warming up the 5600 color temperature. And 2. help me with the Godox Photo and Godox Light apps! I could not get them to work on my iphone 12 mini.

Nice review! It’s getting hard to keep up with the release schedule of the lights. It’s nice to have so many options as long as we do some research to see which light has the features we need for our work

My favorite feature of the original Godox SL lights is that they don't have any annoying power bricks or control boxes. Just plug them in and turn them on.

"dont brig the wrong one on the shoot" LOL!

Just bought the vl150 for my small studio, and I've noticed the remote only works when I'm like a foot away from the light. Any further and the data on the remote display changes, but nothing changes with the light or on it's display, other than that, the vl150 has been perfect, and barely heats up running even at 100%. Also mine got sent with the stickers literally slapped on crooked, but that's just a visual thing :P

Why the hell are you so good at this? Please tell me how you became so thorough with videos.

yes, the video is entertaining and educational, thanks for sharing!

playback speed 50% recommended! :D Awesome video! oh maaaaan i would loooove to have that ul150 now

Brilliant video, thank you! You answered all my questions!

hey Gerald, big fan of yours

that quick intro tho... NICE 👍

Was going to buy SL60 before I came across all these videos 🤣 now, I need to gather more cash 😅

You should check out the new GVM RGB 150S mk II! I think they fixed some of your initial qualms with the original in terms of light quality and features.

actually really would love to get the VL150, but it's kind of expensive in my opinion. On the other hand, the SL60W was more in my price range but really worse on specs so i'd still consider spending a little more to be done for a longer time with the VL150.

These are more of studio lights, right? Which type is nice for outside interviews? For my video, one ligjt is enought and I take the sun as the key light

Would you still recommend the sl60 or would u skip it and jump to one of these ones? Upgrading from a ring light with my tiktoks and KZfaq videos

Super cool bro! Thanks!

there is a difference in terms of light output between battery and wall plug with the UL 150

Do you think the differences in output and color are more a result of loose binning of the COB chips rather than actual design differences between the lights? I don't see why they'd be designed to have such small differences otherwise.

I've been looking at these lights recently, thank you for making a review and comparison. Too bad the 2 new lights are not available here yet and VL150 currently out of stock. I think I'm gonna pick up VL150 once it's available, we can consider the $60 price difference is for the bag and battery option also compact design, so it will be lighter on top of a light stand.

Hmm, you set the in-camera color balance to match the Sekonic's reading from the VL150 (5400K), but then you got the most accurate color from the UL150 even though it measured out at 5500K. The Sekonic C-800 is pretty much dead on in my experience, so IMO the fact that the 5500K UL150 was "more accurate" suggests a flaw in the camera's temperature-based WB implementation more than any benefit of the light itself. I suppose the error could also be a metamerism, but given the high CRI of all of these light that seems unlikely.

GERALD!!! I keep losing the 4 pin male to male cable that comes with the UL150. I have 4 UL150 lights and only 1 4 pin cable...can't seem to find them anywhere on the interweb. HELP ME PLEASE GERALD!!! or anyone else reading this message, PLEASE!!!

Do you think its worth getting godox over aputure products? In a cpuple reviews, it was stated that the godox even the higher end models like VL 300 has less color accuracy than aputure. I want to know if its any noticeable or can be easily color corrected in post?

Thanks for the great content. I am wondering if Godox will be making the reflectors available for purchase seperately?

As always, fantastic and very informative and funny reviews. Big fan! What I realize, after purchasing two SL200II units and did my own testing, is what I am missing in these great reviews, is also a comparison between the same brand and models. The two SL 200 II units I just purshased does not match well. One magenta tint and one unit, and the other one with a green tint (brand new same serial number batch). In fact, one of the SL 200 II units match better with both my Aputure and LitePanels than it's own other SL 200 II unit, but not ideal. If I'd be happy with these, I'd get more to have a more unified temp/tint/color rendition, but these does vary too much. How would you approac this problem? Gels or simply return them until you have units that match?

Awesome content good sir!!! If you will take the time to recommend a light I will use your your affiliate links to buy them😀. If you were starting out for documentary interviews and some products ( coffeeshop videos). Trying to decide if 150 or 300 or both is necessary. Which Godox light or lights would you purchase right to now to start?

OMG !!!! its may 31, 2021 ~~~ I I just got why they "God" "Ox" and I speak Chinese ~~~ I never though bout it until now hahahaha Thanks Gerald XD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job. Thank you sir.

Would love a few clips or stills for download of the color checker, especially if in CDNG or similar.

Gerald is the best, forget the rest 🤓

The SL150 ii is only $239 at the moment on adorama!

What´s the advantage of the FV200 for example with the flash function for photography. Or maybe my question should be, why not do photography with continous lighting instead of flash? I do video and photo and I'd love to have the vmount battery option. the FV200 can't do that.

Hey, I'm Gerald Undune and I'm the only KZfaqr that you can trust. (And that's true)

Totally new to creating video so this is a long one. How do these compare to the Savage Universal LED 1000? We have one and the fan noise is unacceptable. I suppose it would make a great stills light but we need something quieter. Power wise I know nothing about LED watts/ regular watts/ lumens, etc. How do they compare? This is supposed to be a 1000 watt led light. Comparing it to an alleged 300 watt Aperture, the Aperture light is slightly brighter so I suppose there's a difference in how they describe the power. My question is will one of the Godox 150's be as bright or brighter than the Savage light? Have you ever compared? Are you familiar with the Savage gear? Just looking to get the best bang for the buck without having to have the light right next to the subject. My wife has a small space with a big window. We put diffusion material over the window to soften and we're trying to figure out how to balance that light for even flat lighting for her YT channel, she's a kids dance teacher so we don't need dramatic lighting. Suggestions? Oh yeah, we're not in a position to spend a crap ton of money, so the Aperture gear is out of the budget for now and the price of the SL 150 is about where our budget is. But, before we pull the trigger I'd like to know if it will be as bright as what we already have? Thanks in advance for the help, Gerald.

Godox pulled the DJ Khaled with another one And another one amazing light

what's a better budget buy for home studio - Godox UL150 ($319 USD on B&H) or Apurture 100d / 200d ?

Getting the UL150 soon I hope:)) I don’t care how bulky it is:p Awesome review as always

Great content as always, which CStand do you use for the lights and softbox dome? I didn't see it on your gear page.

Hi Gerald, Hoping you can reply to this but totally understand if you can’t. The SL150 II is $100 off at B&H right now. How much does that change your value proposition and conclusion, seeing as how it’s almost half the price of the VL150? Thanks!

So SL = Studio Light, VL = Video Light & UL = Universal Light?

Does anybody know if the Laofas 47 in soft box will mount to the UL150 light? Thanks for any help.
