Godox SL150III LED Light

The SL150WII is a well built and good looking unit. I control all my equipment using a unified remote that operates switches at the mains supply, so I wanted a unit with a hard on/off switch. When I flip my unified remote the light comes on along with a whole load of other stuff. Because of this I have no interest in the Godox remote functions and have ignored all the networking stuff. It's a simple self contained unit without all the paraphernalia hanging off it that you see with more premium options. I don't want bulky control boxes and power supplies hanging off my light stand. This means the power supply is built into the the main body of the unit, but I find it well balanced, easy to use and fairly compact in my small workspace. I bought the SL100D at first, but with a soft box on it just wasn't as powerful as I needed it to be. I didn't like the angle adjustment either. The SL150WII has all the power I need. The tension on the adjuster nut can be balanced so that the lamp can be quickly and easily pointed up or down on the fly. Fan noise isn't an issue for my application, but it's pretty minimal. For video use the quiet mode is a simple way of getting a silent lamp for about half the lumens if that's what you need. Update: After using this light for around 40 hrs a weeks for 3 years it started flickering. I'm okay with that and the 5 stars remain. I have just ordered an SL150III which reportedly has better thermal dynamics

Great product for the price, loads of light and well built. Barely any fan noise at all.

Very pleased, ran all day on a recent shoot, no issues, turn on and forget!

Easy to travel with and simple to use

Excellent light for the money
