you guys would be the kings of YT if you do a video with all the lights of the list ON ACTION !! pros don't care about numbers , only cares of the capabilities of the light. So a test like you did for the chart, recorded on camera would be excellent. Pick a real life scenario and boom, that's what people wants to see . Thank you for the excellent video
ok... but how did you go from 99,000 lux at 1 meter, but later when tested you say they are 13,000 lux? and 3700 lux in a softbox (of course softbox will be less) . is the hard reflector really increasing the light by almost 10 times?
Hi @AbundantLifeMedia, TL;DR: The power difference is about what you would expect even though the factory specifications would lead one to believe otherwise. This has to do with how the larger surface area of the LED on the 300W light interacts with the stock reflector. We compared the lights in three ways: With the reflector, without the reflector, and with a 2'x2' softbox. This is a short video so I don't want to spoil all of our results down here!
The SL200iiiBi has a bit of a tougher build, and a nice yoke mount. It is quite a bit larger, and caries a larger heatsink which inevitably means quieter performance (though we are still impressed the LA200Bi in that category). The SL200iiiBi is a monolight, meaning there is no external power brick to carry with you, so that gives it a portability advantage in one sense (despite its much large body). The LA200Bi is still the budget king! If you are just looking for 200 watts on a modern LED chip, it's an easy recommendation. If you are considering the SL200iiiBi, you could opt for the SL300iiiBi instead. It uses the same body and has an extra half-stop of power for not too much more money. Initially, we only stocked the daylight version, but we are bringing Bi-Colour models in our upcoming shipment.
Hi azny, I guess we can't expect everyone to just take our word for it, but we thought a live test would make for a tedious video. We do have many more figures available on our Strobepro Power Scale, and some of those results are not what one would expect. To provide a relevant example, the LA200D actually does manage to outclass some older 300W lights. In our softbox test, it was about on par with the VL300. strobepro.com/blogs/news/strobepro-power-rating So anyway, I hope the few "upsetting" results that we share lends a bit to our credibility. Obviously, we do sell this stuff, so I can understand your skepticism. But our business philosophy has always been to give our customers exactly what they need. Overselling is not good if we want customers to shop with us more than once!

where can I find the lighting power comparison.

Here! Up above, is the Link that I found
What would be the benefit to using Godox SL200IIIBI vs LA200BI?

i'm still waiting for the medium wheel kit bag
good review😂 thanks!
It is really helpful Thank's bro
I want to see The Test a live . side by side . i m old school i want to see to believe . use the Meter . not just Talk .

I want you to chip in on the “Live test”. I’m old school I hate people with no courtesy.
