Godox Bi-Color LED Light Panel, LEDP260C

I purchased this be able to manage glare when photographing a series of photo albums with acetate overlays. To that end, it works fantastic. I am able to dial in a manual WB and set the camera accordingly. The remote is a bonus I was not expecting to use, but since its available, so much easier to adjust and power off the system with it. The light panel itself is well made and fairly sturdy. The mount is the weak link. It uses a proprietary mount point with a hard-to-adjust swivel and an extended neck for mounting on a standard light stand. I would have preferred an option to use a 1/4-20 screw mount. Oddly the unit does have four 1/4-20 mounts - one at each corner, but I have not seen references on any accessories to mount here. Overall, pleased with the ... MoreI purchased this be able to manage glare when photographing a series of photo albums with acetate overlays. To that end, it works fantastic.

I gave 4/5 only because of build quality. Build quality is good but not exceptional. The light quality from these lights is exceptional though and I no longer have to use bulky soft box lights. Being able to group multiple lights and control with a single remote is great! Dimming and color temperature adjustment works flawlessly. I use an AC adapter but being able to power via optional batteries is a nice touch. I have no complaints so far and these have been a major upgrade for me!

My biggest issue is that it makes constant plastic popping noises when on. It's not like it quits when it's been on for a minute and comes up to temperature. It even continues for a very long time after you turn it off. It never stops making sharp noises as it's flexing and popping and creaking and it can pollute your audio, especially if it's close to your talent, which it needs to be because it's not very bright. It doesn't have enough power for use as a fill light in fairly typical indoor natural light settings, like I need for low key vlogging style video. Forget about it if you want a key light. I don't hate it but I wouldn't buy it again and I rarely use it these days. On paper I like this light, but in reality it's very disappointing.
