SMALLRIGRC 220B 220W Bi-Color COB Video Light, 2700K-6500K 84500Lux Continuous Output Light with 9 Lighting Effects, CRI 95+ Bowens Mount Light with 2 Power Supply Methods App Control – 3622

Bought this for my brand new YouTube studio. I use it with the SmallRig Softbox and it’s PERFECT!!

I bought FS-150 first and that arrived with a damaged reflector. The way they designed their packaging, it's not a surprise it happened. I then changed my mind and returned the FS-150 because I realized I want to be able to control the color temperature on the same budget. And boy do I like this SmallRig light!Pros:- very pleasantly surprised by the tripod mount in the Smallrig, FS-150 felt flimsy even though this was my first video light ever, and I wasn't even comparing the mount to anything, it just felt cheap. Smallrig's is rock solid.- I couldn't figure out how to use the mobile app for remote control with FS-150, it just wouldn't find the light and I wasn't able to find how to put it into pairing mode on the web. With 120B I was able to do this in minutes and the app works great. Very reliable. It also remotely updated the firmware on 120B on first launch.- The way the carrying case this ships in is padded is a total overkill. No way this would've arrived with the reflector dented in several places like FS-150 did. And it didn't.- I like the Bowens mount latch slightly better on Smallrig. This is a very minor point though.- External power brick makes for a smaller/lighter light, which feels stirdier on a tripod- And of course the ability to regulate color temperatureCons:- Not as bright as the FS-150 at the same price- The fan noise profile is not as pleasant as the FS-150. But unlike FS-150, which has the fan running at all times, regardless of brightness. Smallrig only turns the fan on when necessary. For example it would turn it on for a couple of minutes after running at full brightness for 5 minutes or so and turn it off again a minute or so later.- I use this with an Aputure lantern softbox, but for those who doesn't, the diode surface area is much smaller, so I'd expect this to have a harsher light out of the box without a softbox/diffuser compared to FS-150 or any other light with a diode array.

I have one of these and a 220W as part of my set up, both small right lights run almost silent and don't get overly hot, models have sat comfortable for prolonged periods of time between them without issue.I really trust in this brand

All of these 200w plus led video lights have a major issue with fan noise, I suspect they are all a generic Chinese brand that are being rebadged, so I don't want to pick on Smallrig as the Aputures are the same, but this is the light I bought so...They come on and then go off and are too loud if your microphone is within 3 feet of the light.The problem is that there is no curve to the fan, it is either fully on or fully off and switches off and on every few minutes.The light has a massive aluminium heat sink attached with a fan that is quite noisy attached to it (same as the cooling method for a pc cpu), so it has simply borrowed that technology but in the most basic way.If you could have it on continuously but at a lower fan speed, then you would find you could remove the sound in post, but with the intermittent noise that is impossible.The cooling technology for these 200w led lights is just not there yet and won't be until they get better at cooling the lights with a more advanced fan system that is silent and or manageable.Returned this and bought a 100w video light instead which does not have this problem.I have left this with a 3 star review as these are fantastic lights for photography as the fans don't matter in that instance and they punch out enough light to fill a large soft box.

This light is built well, not too heavy and the power of the light is brilliant!!! Happy with my purchase so far.

This light is absolutely perfect, it’s compact, bright and well constructed. Perfect for what I need.Only Cristian will be the non inclusion of the v mount adapter which should come as standard.Other than that, you couldn’t go wrong with this light.

I loved this light when I started using it, it really made my head shots & home shoots so much easier but after a few short months it went faulty on me. The lamp would sometimes work, then eventually stopped completely. This didn’t look good in front of clients. Lasted 4 months. Now I need it replaced so any advise on what model to choose would be much appreciated.

I bought this light to supplement a basic Godox LED and I’m very happy with my purchase. The light comes in a very neat case and is easy to set up. It’s a lot brighter than my other light and great if I’m just wanting one interview light.
