I not sure if you know that when the Neewer 660 Pro RGB is run off the battery slots on the back of the lights it is running at only 7.2 volts as opposed to mains which is 12-15 volts. This means there is a reduction in power output of 20%. To solve this problem I've bought a dual NPF to V lock adaptor and connected it to the mains socket thus providing the full output via batteries.
I’m debating between the GVM 880RS and 1000D, which one is brighter? And I also have a Nanlite 15C 2”, and do you think I should buy the single GVM or 2 light kit since I have an Nanlite?
I love what GVM has produced here with their latest light panel releases and I have quite a few. However they haven't done the best job with naming. Just looking at the name you won't really have any idea of something like the light output. For example, going by GVM's stated specs, the 880RS lights here are 60w and produce 11,200lux at .5 meters. Then you have their 850D panels that are rated at 45w but produce 18,000 lux at .5 meters. The difference in light output coming from the lenses they put over the LEDs in the 850D I assume. Just wish their naming convention made a bit more sense which would help customers more easily choose the panel right for them when browsing all the different panels they produce.
@@L4nd0z Do you mean between the 880RS and the 850D? If so the 850D would technically be brighter. Even though it has less of a power draw than the 880RS the lenses over the LEDs in the 850D help focus the light resulting in more measurable light output. What I haven't tested is if because of those lenses does the 850D produce a more narrow beam angle than the 880RS. My guess is going to be maybe but probably not enough to make any kind of major difference in real world applications.
how does that translate with a softbox? And have you tested the 660 vs the 800 with the softbox in terms of measuring light output? Is the conclusion that the GVM800 gives 1 stop of additional output over the 660?
Thank you for the video. So with these lights, we need to get soft box for skincare video recording ? Can you show the placement in a studio, please 🙏🏼
@@ArtVideoProductions Hey thank you for the quick reply. The COB is out of my budget. But I already have a Daylight COB from Godox. Thinking about get a cheap RGB Panel for background and accent lighting. Considering that what would you recommend? Maybe the GVM 850D or 1000D? Also, What’s the difference between them?
@@ShutterCorpFilms difference is power output by not much different. the 850d has flood LEDS, the 1000D has a lens type (spotty) LED. Other than that these panels are identical to one another.
@@ArtVideoProductions In your review of the 850D you showed the 850D with the new Lens Type LED. So i'm assuming both should be be similar. On Amazon thhe specifications shows 850D to output 18000 lux at 0.5m. While the 1000D on Amazon is shown to output 15000 lux at 0.5m. So i'm confused why 850D with less LED beads with same Lens LED beads type is outputting more lux than the 1000D. The specs on GVM website is also very confusing. They have listed 1000D to output both 15000 and 19000lux at 0.5m.
@@Filmsimulation yes, between the two, the 850RS is the brightest. If you want brighter, check my review on the GVM 1500D

great review as always! I am looking for a led with batteries at around 100watts do you have any recommendations for me ? i am looking right now at the falcon eyes lights but idk, i have no chance to test them :D
What would you recommend for a key light under $400 USD? I want a nice high output key light and then I'm going to go with a couple RGB panels like these for fills/effects/atmosphere. So I would be prioritizing output over advanced features.
You have many options with $400. A GVM P80S (less than $159! , 80 watts and comes with a softbox, bag and stand, plus accepts V mount option for $69, or a Godox VL-150 ($399) These are all COB, with Bowen’s mount. I reviewed both, if you want to see more info on that. Lots of details.
Great Review! I would like to buy 2 of the GVM 880RS RGB LED for my Vlog at home. Would you recommend it or rather something else? Also checking the GVM 800D RGB LED which is probably not that much of a difference, right?
Thanks man. No, there’s a difference. The 800D is a 3-4 year old light and it’s a 40 watt panel. The 880RS is a 60 watt panel. If you use my links in the description, I’d appreciate it as it helps my channel and it doesn’t cost you a penny extra 😀 Another set you’d probably would want to look at is the GVM 1500D which I recently reviewed, easy to find on the channel. Actually, here it is th-cam.com/video/D0UK0v35ITM/w-d-xo.html
@@ArtVideoProductions Thanks for your swift answer. I will use your links for sure if I buy it, absolutely! At the moment I'm still checking out for the right set. I want to buy this double set but no extra softbox. Still the light will probably be too harsh without a diffusor...
do you have a review for the NEEWER RGB1200 60W RGB LED ? we're thinking about buying a few for a school studio. by the way can you please talk slower? I find it hard to follow what you're saying. :)
Hi there...did you ever owned some Aputure Amaran AL-528W LED panels? I wonder how much" better" would the Neewer NL 660 bi-color lights would be? A bit more powerful? or about the same? Just wondering if you ever owned the Aputure lights...otherwise the GVM lights are nice too...
@@ArtVideoProductions Oh okay. Its first time Im buying lights for camera. I watched many of your videos to make a decision, but I got more confused. Your content is great, Don't take me wrong. But with so many options and 0 experience it makes it hard to choose one. So you don't feel they're a correct choice as the main light for photography and videography?
@@soljr9175 For Main light and fill, I’d recommend COB single chip type lights (the big round LED that has Bowens mount). You’ll want to use a Softbox, the bigger the Softbox , the softer the light.

Half the time I don't know which one you're talking about.
You’re probably skipping or fast forwarding parts of the video. Every time, I point at the light I’m talking about and I say the GVM or Neewer.

Hi Gerald. I agree and think the same way. It’s quite confusing.

Between Neweer 660, GVM 1000D and GVM 880RS. Which would you recommend?
I’d recommend a COB light instead of these panels. Because of the versatility of bowels mount. th-cam.com/video/CsTCkYJbfFg/w-d-xo.html

Which would be brighter. 880rs or the 1000d, which would be better for a little production on a little space?
The 1000D is 45 watts, the 850RS is 60 watts.
Either one, for key light, you must use a diffuser in front of the light for a softer light.
