Hey man! Really amazing and interesting test! I always wondered if using smaller and cheaper lights we could match those more powerful and expensive ones for much less final monetary cost. Thank you for your time
RGB lights are worse than gels because they rely on metamerism to produce colors in between red, green and blue. To produce yellow, red and green wavelengths are mixed. Our visual system sees this as yellow. But there are little to no yellow wavelengths in the mixed color. Because of this, any actual yellow object will be dim and desaturated because there is no yellow spectrum to reflect. So you need to add multiple color emitters to fill in the spectrum. Gels work by taking away part of the spectrum. In CCT mode, RGBWW lights have nearly a full spectrum so the wavelengths for colors such as yellow exist. They can be selected by the gel.
I think for the same reason the reading should be different if measuring pure primary colors compared to all the others. Also the gel in the video showed a much more intense (saturated) color than the nova in RGB color mode.

Really like both those videos of the series, you've gained a new sub! :)
Thanks. Glad the video was appreciated. I learned a lot from the tests
Loved the 300d vs 300x
Nice one Hugo! My biggest takeaway is I need to get a light meter 😂 really interesting about the 300d vs 300x
I’d say spectrometer is significantly more useful these days than a light meter. One of the best investments in years.

Exactly. That’s why I did this test that for many may look strange. But it’s an actual thing

Super interesting, great test. Thank you. SUB from me! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome, thank you!
Build it ! :D
