Bi-Color LED Video Light, GVM 100W Photography Lighting with Bowens Mount, APP Control System, Lantern Softbox Video Lighting Kit for YouTube Outdoor Studio, Dimmable 3200K-5600K, CRI 97+

I have 2 other GVM 80W models and have been happy with them so got this 100W model as it has adjustable color temperature. This is a great feature to have when doing photo or video work in an environment that already has existing lighting you want to match. The power output is actually nearly identical to the basic 80W model (which does not have color temp control or the remote capabilities). Both output a very usable amount of light that I measured at about 16.4 EV at ISO 400. This is a relative number so please don’t use it for any scientific comparisons :-)We use the light for livestreaming video in our church and the quietness of the fan is very important. It is barely noticeable at a foot away and measured 35 dB average. This is with some slight outside traffic noise too, but is still considered “quiet library” level.The included lantern soft box is interesting and unique in that it provides soft frontal illumination for your subject (see my goofy selfie) and also provides some all around room illumination. If you prefer more controlled and direct lighting, you can use any Bowens mount light modifier and I have others in my stash that I can swap easily when needed. The light quality is clean and consistent and the color looks very accurate.the digital display for color temp and power level is useful for accurately reproducing a lighting setup. I have not used the remote app yet, as it is not really needed in our situation, but it is a nice feature to have if you want to adjust your lights on the fly while filming or if they are in a hard to reach spot.What could be improved?• the adjustable bracket is somewhat flimsy feeling, but it works fine and has not failed.• bracket could balance heavier modifiers better if it could slide forward and back to find a better balance point.• Lantern modifier came out of the package with some screws loose on the speed ring, but they were easy to tighten back up.What’s great?• Amazing amount of light and functionality at this price point• Quiet fan is good for video work where noise must be kept to a minimum.• The light itself feels very solid and sturdily built• Digital controls for easy repeat settings• Standard Bowens mount accepts many other modifiers• Great color accuracy and light quality

As I continue to build out my lighting kit for commercial clients and doc work, I'm always looking for that line between cost and quality. I'm stoked to have found this product which seems to fit in that perfect slot of "I can count on this for years, but if it falls off a cliff, I'll order another one tomorrow."PROS:* Often when buying something like this, I open it up and immediately throw away the useless bags. I like the bag the light comes in and will continue to use it. Thank you for thinking this through GVM.* Size! I won't call it small, but I would say highly portable. I could easily fit 3-4 of them with their bags in my favorite large pelican. I could see having one less checked gear back for my travel work utilizing these as opposed to some other lights I have.* Output + Bi-Color. This is huge. I hate gelling lights. I'm often solo or have a small crew, time means everything. Dial it in and go. This portable light is BRIGHT.* Bowens mount fits my other softboxes. Versatile.* The lantern softbox is super handy and quick to assemble It popped open in an instant. Great addition to help shape light.* Controlled by App. This is HUGE if the light is hung in a difficult to reach area, on a boom, perhaps over a table. Thank you technology.* The AC cord is actually of decent length.CONS: While I wouldn't say people order this kit for the light stand, it does come with one. I always want to make sure my instruments are on an amazing stand. This stand likely won't get used for this light, but will serve a purpose in the kit for still photography or a floor kicker light. Stands are like chips, some are better than others, but at the end of the day, it's still a chip/stand. I'll take it (and use it.)Very happy with this addition!

These lights have worked exactly as I hoped. The quality of my videos increased substantially as I don’t run into auto white balance issues whenever they’re deployed.I bought 4 of these. I bought them in pairs about 6 months apart after being impressed with them first pair.The material is solid which makes for less worries about transport and durability. Setup is pretty fast as well.I had an issue, that was self inflicted, and spoke with a fantastic customer service representative that put me in a good spot in rapid fashion.I highly recommend buying from them, and I’ll do that when I look to purchase the 200w version.

Love this thing! Great quality light and lantern (though small). 4 stars instead of 5 b/c the app is trash

As a videographer I’ve been through tons of lighting equipment (from expensive to budget) and, in a pinch I ordered the GVM 100W bi-color and was VERY IMPRESSED. The light is super bright. The controls are fluid and smooth and very intuitive. This light is on par with any of its competitors and punches above it’s price point. I also had an issue with the handle breaking off (totally our fault on set). I reached out to GVM and they sent me a replacement handle - free of charge! Great products and great customer service. What more could you want?

I am writing this review 1.5 years after buying- which I never do. The quality of the light is solid- very even lighting and color quality. Hard to find that at this price. I also lost the power cord 1.5 years later can contacted GVM and they were very responsive and helpful in getting me the exact replacement within 2 days which I could not find anywhere else. This level of customer service is super rare and that’s why I’m writing this review now.
