Outstanding review here! Thank you! I was just about to click "buy" on Adorama when you mentioned the fan motor noise. That's a deal-breaker for me. I need silent LED lighting and I'm sorry to learn that this isn't it. But you did a great job and thumbs UP for sure! Wishing you all the best.

I really like the way you did the video, someone I could watch just to watch. I have two of these on order, though I think I might send them back for the Amaran 100X it just seems to be a little bit better overall, but it's hard to say as nobody has really done a head to head comparison of them.

@PhillipRPeck Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I wish I could do a comparison with the Amaran, but Aputure doesn't know who I am... I really like the SL100 BI. It's great for a studio light but its biggest negative is the fan noise. If the Amaran has a quieter fan, then that would be a deciding factor

@ViciousXUSMC Жыл бұрын

@@PhillipRPeck Agreed 100% though my "studio" is my office, gaming room, and server room, so I have lots of fan noise anyway lol. But with a good diaphragm microphone it cuts the noise very well. Unfortunately all my condenser mics and such just sit unused for that reason.

@PhillipRPeck Жыл бұрын

@@ViciousXUSMC I used the SL100Bi as a key light for more than a year. I usually just applied a bit of noise reduction if needed. Not too big a deal

Very useful video, I wanted to ask you what was the difference between the Godox SL60IIBi and the one you showed in the video? Which one should I buy? Thank you very much.

@PhillipRPeck Жыл бұрын

Hey, thank you. The difference is maximum wattage and maximum light output. 60 watts versus 100 watts. The SL100 will be brighter but without having both to compare, I can't say exactly how much. I'd say the SL100 will be more flexible--more light is better--but a 60 watt light can still work as a key light

At 4:52 you set the light at 75% brightness and also through 2 layers of diffusion in the softbox, can u please tell us what is your camera settings in this scene? I mean it looks bright enough even at 75% and through 2 layers of diffusion. Thank you. 🥰🥰🥰

@PhillipRPeck 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks for the comment. I didn't give my camera settings because when I turned off the light I showed how the camera was exposed--basically exposed for the windows. I was also exposing using a variable ND filter so any camera settings are essentially meaningless. But, since you asked: BMD Pocket 6K, Braw 12:1, ISO 800, shutter 1/48. Lens was set to f/2.8

I'd probably still go for the sl100 because it's higher output and it's a full size bowens mount. The ml60 needs an adapter that's sold separately

Hello I hope you can help me … I’m starting a 3 HOST podcast and I’m thinking either buying sl100Bi or the La150 … both with the Godox lantern … normally I would go directly for the 150 « more power maybe for other usage » but the fan also is an issue I think more than the sl 100 … is the 100 enough to light 3 people or should I take the la150 … great review and thank you in advance

@PhillipRPeck Жыл бұрын

The fan on the SL100 is pretty noticeable, it might be pretty tough to use on a podcast depending how close it is. I don't know what the La150 is so I can't say for sure what the fan noise is

@SOUTHSIDEtn Жыл бұрын

@@PhillipRPeck it is the Godox la150 but since both have fan noise and since you tried this one do you think the 100watts enough to light 3 people on a round table ? If it’s with a lantern ?

@@SOUTHSIDEtn Yeah, I think it could be bright enough with a lantern. Keep an eye out for used lights. I'm seeing some decent prices on the Aputure 120Dii. I think the fan in there is quieter, that could be a good option (unless you need the color temperature options of the SL100bi

I don't know that those figures mean a whole lot as long as you white balance your camera. You can always shift the temp and tint in post if you need to but I can't imagine it would be a huge deal
