Godox SL-60W 60W 5600¡À300K LED Video Light with Bowens Mount Continous Light - White Version

Product Information

Speaking of light modifiers, I might have found the perfect pairing for the SL-60. It’s called the Lantern Softbox and it’s made by Aputure. This softbox has some directionality to it, but it also has a lot of spill around the edges from the globe shape that helps to spread light around a wider area. It’s a fantastic solution if you only have one light, but you want to light a relatively large part of a room with a nice soft look. Here’s a sample photo taken beneath the Lantern using the Godox SL-60. Note how much light has wrapped around onto my hand behind the camera when using this awesome Lantern modifier. The 60W COB LED offers a high output along with color-accurate rendering and dimming control from 10-100%. The SL-60 isn’t all that big, but I was surprised how heavy it was. It doesn’t feel like a cheap hollow plastic box nearly as much as I expected. NOT Included RC-A5 remote control offers wireless dimming control as well as the ability to work with six lighting groups and 16 channels. This 433 MHz remote runs on three separate AAA batteries and has a wireless range of approximately 65.6′.

It’s aluminum construction body is robust and feels well made. Unlike cheaper lights I was surprised that the Fan produces almost no noise. For those serious about videos for YouTube will love the low sound pollution this light box produces as the fans can get loud and negatively impact your videos sound. OVERHEATING PREVENTION SYSTEM: With an integrated heatsink, built-in – fan, and temperature control function, the SL-60W is fully protected against overheating and inconsistencies. The temperature can be monitored in Fahrenheit or Celsius. There will always be fans on COB lights. In most cases, I don’t think people will have a problem with the noise of this one unless you had a lot of these lights all in a confined space that was prone to echo. To put the noise into context, in my office where I hung the light, the fan noise is completely drowned out by the noise of my hard drives. So it’s not bad, but it’s something to be aware of. Don’t put a camera too close to the light if it has a mic on it, and don’t accidentally point a more directional mic in the direction of the light.Large-sized LCD panel]: Small size, light and portable. Large-sized LCD panel for convenient operation. Settings auto saved. Bowen's-style mount adds various accessories. I would count this as a good performance, largely delivered by what is a very nice reflector. Comparing it to photographic reflectors that I have in my office from much bigger flash brands, it looked identical an almost every way. That said, I doubt most people will use it with a reflector. One of the big benefits of a COB light is that the form factor allows you to tap into the vast array of studio light modifiers that are on the market. I would definitely recommend that you pair this light with some sort of softbox or at the very least a shoot-through umbrella. This means that compared to flash shooting, you will have to use a much slower shutter speed and that can present problems with subject movement. A relatively weak LED such as the SL-60 would be fine for shooting static subjects such as food or other still life projects, but even then you are going to need to use a tripod if you need to stop down the lens to get a reasonable depth of field.

Durable & Strong]: Powerful 60W LED bead offers high light brightness and stable illumination, Specially designed protect cover to protect the LED bead;Excellent heat dissipation with premium heat sink and built-in fan, With temperature control function to prevent overheating. watts is on the low end of the power spectrum for a COB light, but for indoor video shooting where the light is being positioned just off-camera, it’s plenty of power. Stills photographers who require much faster shutter speeds than filmmakers will want to consider a higher power version of the light such as the SL-150. That is unless you are only photographing still life subjects while using a tripod and longer shutter speeds.COB LED LIGHT: The SL-60W is the 60W continuous lighting solution from Godox.
