Colbor made a big splash with their first lights, the CL220 and CL330, offering huge bang for buck. Can their new full color light, the CL220R, live up to that success? Let's find out!

Okay, the spectrometer results are in and the Colbor CL220R has THE BEST color accuracy of ANY light I've tested. One caveat: it's slightly green, but thankfully this light allows you to click it back toward the red where it wins in all categories, with a CRI of 97.9 and R9 value of 98 (for skin tones). Amazing! This greatly exceeds its sister light, the CL220, which disappointingly only measured a CRI of 95.8 and R9 of 82! (all at 5600K).

Just saw your video, love your reviews. Been using flashes for over 30 years, just get some continuous light lately. Already bought COLBOR CL220R, CL220, CL100X, 2 CL60R & 2 W100... Battery options for CL220R & CL220 are tricky, official website is misleading, providing different informations on the computer, an iPad or an iPhone... Aputure 2-bay battery power station with 2 v-mount batteries (I tried two 160Wh and two 185Wh) work on both CL220R & CL220, providing 100% power for over 50 minutes. Aputure 2-bay battery power station is quite picky with v-mount batteries, newer designs with LED screens may not work at all due to more advance protective circuit designs. This option is heavy and expensive. 26V v-mount battery can provide 100% power for CL220R for 51 minutes, but max out at 50% for CL220. May be CL 220 is an older design. Need a VM3 cable however, a bit hard to find replacement. I am glad spectrometer results of COLBOR CL220R are great in color accuracy... may buy another if needed.

Yeah the CL220R is much more different from the CL220 than I had expected. Looks the same, but is entirely different under the hood. And also yeah, powering on battery is proving to be a very complicated situation still (as it is with almost any manufacturer still). Need some further standardization and work on that still. It's all a bit too unpredictable.

Hello Wes, Thanks for the very good, in depth review! I want to buy a rgb led to light my backdrops. I'm doing portrait photography. The light would always be positionned at most at 3 feet from the backdrops. To have exposure at 100iso F/8.0 1/200s Would this light produce enough light, barely enough, or too much light ? In cct mode ? In rgb mode ? The fact is, I don't know if this light is too much or not enough for my needs... I like the fact that there are two types of light, cct and rgb and that they are of different power range. That way it gives more lattitude to create more subtle effects... I just don't know if it is too powerfull, or not powerfull enough... Thanks ! :)

Thanks for the review but Amaran 300C is RGBWW. 200w in CCT and 100W in RGB. Colbor light can also be powered by D-Tap with a maximum power of 100W. Therefore, as the owner of amaran 300c, I want to say that this device is cheaper with similar power. I really liked the review, as I am thinking of buying this light.

I just finished doing spectroscopic testing on several lights and somewhat surprisingly this light came out on top. Even slightly above the Amaran 200xs, which supposedly has the very best light spectrum possible.

@thomask6230 25 күн бұрын

Since it can reach 50% when running on battery, does this mean it can utilise full rgb mode on battery? (90W).

@willvazquez3218 4 ай бұрын

Great review. After explaining the green magenta correction of the light you mentioned that it wasn’t up to the quality of the Amaran 200 XS. Does the Amaran 200XS have green magenta tint adjustment? Thanks.

@WesPerry 4 ай бұрын

I have to amend that statement, as I was going based on manufacturer stated specs. Upon testing with a spectrometer his light actually exceeds the light quality of the 200xs (which doesn’t have tint adjustment, but also doesn’t seem to need it anyway)

@@WesPerry Thanks for info. I film a lot of videos in offices and medical centers where the practical overhead LED lights usually lean tungsten but with a hint of green. As you know, commercial LED lighting doesn't have the optimal CRI. I need to use bi color light like the Nanlite Forza 300B II Bi-Color that has green/magenta correction, to be able to mix my lights with available. I'm interested in the Colbor CL220R if I can set the light to tungsten or daylight and then tweak in the Green/magenta tint. Is the light able to dial in this correction in either daylight or tungsten mode, or does it need to be in RGB? I'm curious if the green/magenta correction is able to be applied to the high output portion of the light or the just the dimmer RGB settting. Thank you!

@@willvazquez3218 the magenta/green correction is available in CCT/white balance mode. Good to go there.

What would have been great, is a side by side against the Amaran 150-300c, which are like the industry standard at this price point. More importantly in the RGB level as we barely have any reference on these.

@WesPerry 5 ай бұрын

That was the plan! But the Amaran still hasn’t arrived yet for some reason…

@danielvilliers612 5 ай бұрын

@@WesPerry Hopefully it comes soon. That would be great as their is a ton of reviews of RGB light, but we have values only about the Daylight/tungsten and never about the RGB. Even if is only a side by side of the red, blue and Green on a white/grey wall. Because with the different system, you could have a very bright Daylight/tungsten model with not so good RGB, or the contrary and we just don't know.
