Thanks Carlton! I appreciate that.

I took delivery of one of these today and I have to say I’m very impressed with it so far. If weight is a sign of quality materials in use then this is another quality product from Godox. You did a good job of demonstrating the special effects but I have to say they are better experienced first hand as they look even better in real life. Brilliant product 👍🏼

Question Two if I got these lights and one of the chargers is not working would godox be able to refund me if I didn’t get it directly through them.

thinking of buying one would this be a great one or lc 500r for backdrop lighting?? would be of great help if you reply.. i am unable to make this decision.

Am I able to make the flashing effect a different color other than the white light ? Like red, green, or blue ?

Thank you!!

is there a stand or something like on the astera tubes?

Men, what a great video! Thank you for that.. One question; if i create a group and add the lights to the group folder, is it possible to change one light of the group ???

@ArtVideoProductions

3 жыл бұрын

You can create many groups with different lights on it. I personally prefer controlling individually

28:00 maybe i'm just tired but definitely looks like the hue slider is affecting saturation and the saturation slider is affecting the hue

I like the simplicity of tube lights with built-in battery for photography and video. But as a hobbyist, I can't find a bag to include 1 -2 lights and a nano light stand to carry on board and walk around at the location. It is ok for production or anyone who can afford an assistant to hold the light :-)

When I am using the app I either have the option to control the light as a group or deleting the group then I can control them individually. How can I be able to do both things without having to delete the group. Or in other words, how can I control the lights individually once they are part of a group? Thank you

@ArtVideoProductions

3 жыл бұрын

That’s one thing I don’t like about the App. You’re correct. To the best of my knowledge, you can’t control both single and group without having to delete the group. Try creating another group on the main page and see what happens.

It would be nice if the color picker allowed for choosing different color options like the complimentary colors and other color options. Are there any ones that your aware of that do this?

@ArtVideoProductions

3 жыл бұрын

Any other specific color you can just use the HSI or the stand alone RGBW tabs.

when you shoot and the tubes are in the shot, Can you actually see the leds inside the tubes? or its just because the dimmer is low?is there any difusion on it? thanks

@ArtVideoProductions

3 жыл бұрын

I dimmed it for proper exposure to look pretty and so y’all can see the LEDs since I’m reviewing an LED light. If I blew it up you wouldn’t see how the LEDs look like. If you don’t want the LEDs to show, increase the brightness til you’re satisfied.

Which do you prefer the tl60 or the lc500r?

Yoooooo so pumped to get these lights!! I need something just like this! You think these would be good in a open field for background lighting for music videos?

@ArtVideoProductions

3 жыл бұрын

If you’re tying to just get the colors of these lights popping in your video, like shown in the beginning of this review, especially at night or in a controlled lighting environment, even the 1% setting is too strong. I needed to use ND at# 1 during the review to get the color fully saturated since at 1% is still bright for the camera sensor to catch it in the proper exposure otherwise everything would get washed out, just like any other light would. Now, these tubes are 18 watts, and to light ACTUAL people or things in large spaces you’ll need a few of these and they must be close to the subject. At 3 feet away, on aperture of f-4, on CCT at 100%, you’ll get about F-4.5. If shooting at f1.4, you’ll get about there times the brightness! Should be able to light everything in that setting. Whether you’re shooting a music video indoors or outdoors, they will do great.

Thank you for the review! Do you feel the individual LEDs visibly present in these lights are a problem? Im considering the aputure ones but would rather have the cheaper and more color accurate Godox ones, but I'm on the fence because of the visible LEDs....

@ArtVideoProductions

The LEDs, even though you can see them, this tube diffuses the light decently, even on faces. But you can also add a diffuser and cut to shape. If you don’t want to spend $$$ on a Rosco diffuser, wal mart, at the fabric session, it actually sells stuff that can diffuse this light and cheap. Look / or ask for “tracing paper”or similar material. But if you don’t like it, as long as you buy from reputable sources such as BH or Amazon, simply return it. No fear there…

Does it seem powerful enough to light someone as a key light for an interview podcast situation?

@ArtVideoProductions

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it will be enough to light someone for an interview, but using a tube shape for keylight, even though you can, that’s not the right tool for it. I don’t know what your budget is, but for keylight, you can choose from a Godox SL series to a Godox VL or FV series. Add a softbox and you’re set. But again, sure, you can use the TL-60 for keylight.

How does it compare to pavotube 15C? I can see that individual leds are more visible in godox. Pavotube seems more diffused. What do you think?

@ArtVideoProductions

The Pavitube may seem more diffused but for the main use of these lights (which is not key light) to light everything else, the more you see the LEDs the more power output it will have. I prefer the TL-60 and the light is not harsh at all.

These TL-60 lights are awesome, but they are limited in power output especially if you’re trying to light something at 15’ away. I use thexTL-60s for “practical lights” (the light being in the frame) or hair light or anything that’s close to the scene. The best choice for lighting a background and to have the absolute lighting control is a COB type LED, which accepts a huge variety of modifiers such as soft boxes. AND... don’t forget to buy a GRID for even more control. If you want an RGB light to light your background, I’ll provide you some links to everything. Please note that these links here are affiliated, I’m a participant in the Amazon affiliate program, which I earn a small commission and it doesn’t cost you anything extra, thus, it supports my channel and the work to put all that together for you.

@@ArtVideoProductions Wow thank you for the detailed reply. I have one more question about this: in my current set up, I want to have two different RGB LEDs on either side of the seamless, backdrop, however, I don't have a lot of space on either side, maybe only 1-2 feet. So that makes it difficult to use lights with a big modifier. The godox 12x47 modifier looks like perfect tall dimensions for what we are talking about. Also my backdrop is 9 feet wide. Any suggestions for lighting this backdrop with not very much room on either side?
