Oh my God! I have never seen anybody cut through the crap as fast you just did here. I watched it because of the 120T review, but kudos! The way you present should give anyone who is not seeing the wood for the trees (but has a brain, unlike most the folks commenting below) a key to the door of understanding how to light. Love the 640 iso at 6 feet, now I know what that light does. Thanks!
I've got two of these, and plan to get a three piece kit of the recently confirmed 120d's. Love the power and the versatility. I also love how freaking lightweight they are!
Jay P., at 7:18 you say is that it has a battery that comes with it. I think you meant to say that it has a battery mount with it. There is no battery that ships with the 120T.
Good video Slanted Lens but let's make it clear to your viewers, you're not advocating for hot, tungsten bulb lights vs LEDs. I have come to really hate our hot bulb light fixtures. We MUST have AC power to use them. They are VERY HOT and I and others have burned our fingers on several occasions and because they are so hot, we cannot pack up the kits for quite awhile until the fixtures cool. The bulbs are fragile. They can't be dimmed without changing the color temp. You have to use something like a softbox on them because if you use frost or something like that, it melts if it comes in contact with any part of the fixture. LEDs are great! None of those problems and they run on battery!!! Color cast is getting better and better all the time on LED fixtures. Heck, they have them now where you can push a button and match your LED fixture exactly to whatever color temp the lighting is in a room, even other video production lights. And for the person who thought $600 was a lot of money, there is a well known company that begins with A and ends in i, that is still selling a four light hot bulb tungsten kit for $3,800. That averages out to $950 per light and...see problems mentioned above with bulb fixtures.
New LEDs that have come out in the past year are now fully capable of handling 3200k and 5600k some even have adjustments for all colour temps in between giving that natural tungsten light look as well as daylight and more. The new generation of LEDs are really respectable now so this should be updated.
Great review I loved the footage where we see the craft of your projects . Now I have never bought any lights and I'm going to do an interview soon I would like to know the best kit for interviews to look VERY VERY Proffesional in a budget not too expensive and not to cheap can you help me with the best Kits and lights for this project from your experience ?
ur vids are awesome , can u make videos abt good budget cameras, how a indie videographer should get started, things we should keep in mind and what u think about film schools :)
What's the difference between using gels with tungsten LED and daylight LED to get different colour temperatures? Advantages / Disadvantages? Will I be better off getting one over the other? Thanks
There is no difference as to how you use them. It is just that your color temperature starts out at a different place. Tungsten starts at 3200 and daylight starts at 5800. Most people want to get daylight balanced lights because we are more likely to be matching our light to daylight than we are to tungsten.
I'm a big fan of tungsten but I ended up getting a Godox ML60 because it's such a great portable light (it is my first light). Is there any solution to make a daylight light warmer? - are gels a good idea? can they be used together with a soft box, or is that a bad idea?
Gels are a great idea. A full CTO on your Godox light will give you a tungsten color balance and work with your softbox if you make sure no light escapes the gel. If the gel does not cover the light completely your color balance will not be consistently tungsten.
I haven't used it, so I'm not sure. But I'm always wary of products that are much cheaper but very similar. They are usually able to cut costs by using inferior products that don't last and don't produce quality results.
Why can't we use Daylight balanced lights and use gels ? i feel that daylight balanced has a lot more power, but putting on gels will slightly reduced light power. I really want to use this light but don't really know which one to get ! since i wan't to make to most use of this light on set i feel daylight will be the way to go ! but one still needs 1/2, 1/4, full cto gels to balance CT each time for a shot right? Thanks ! +The Slanted Lens
Nicholas, I'm with you. I like daylight lights because I run into offices and even homes with tons of daylight streaming in. I can't fight that. I can't blackout all the windows. I can turn off practicals. So, that's what I do and leave the window lighting coming in then light accordingly with my daylight balanced lights using the windows as the motivator for where the light would be coming from. I have used gels. They don't always work as well with LED fixtures as they did with tungsten bulbs but I have a tons of gels to choose from in many different strengths so we've never had a problem.
He did say the ISO and Aperture result from the meter, but I didn't hear which Shutter Speed was set. So, I guess there must be a standard shutter speed for metering lights like this?
I'm so lost about using continious lighting on photography, i saw tungsten or hmi lighting on great, expensive photography works, people who are great photographers. i have some inferences but not sure still.
i don't' use hmis ever. the reason is, the ultra violet rays are dangerous if the light is defective. there are actors who refuse to work with hmis. basically it burns the retinas causing blindness, which may take months to heal, and can burns the skin.
Four reasons we need a Tungsten Incandescent Light, OK so let us _buy_ your reasoning ... Duh, and so what are you selling. Your selling an LED Light that is not color temperature variable and is 100K off from Tungsten Incandescent and 200K away from Tungsten Halogen. Not that an LED would have the same bandwidth and distribution but the ability to vary slightly would indeed allow a closer match. Or, you could just sell us a regular (200W) Light Bulb (with a regular Dimmer), like *you* recommended.
The video is sponsored by Aputure but it doesn't change the fact that they make great lights. We get paid to make the video, but we have free reign on our opinions. Freedom of speech
there are a lot of them like godox, but with much lower CRI rating and some of them flicker if you shoot higher frame rate. High CRI lamps always be more expensive.

Tungsten lights create a wonderful atmosphere
Tungsten lighting looks so pretty for christmas photos. I love mixing it with white lights.
They also look great for twilight shots :D
I've got two of these, and plan to get a three piece kit of the recently confirmed 120d's. Love the power and the versatility. I also love how freaking lightweight they are!
They're a great light. Glad to hear you like them!
I didn't know about that shooting night during daytime trick.
Screw tungsten lighting.
Especially the Edison screw ones. (Can't really screw the bayonet ones)
Ha

You should check out the lesson we just posted on LEDs! I think you'd really like it! bit.ly/2ueOZT2
The light is really handy but the materials quality not that good, i did not like the sound coming when moving it or mounting accessories on it.
can you do a video about vintage lenses or if you already have shot it can you point me to it

Very informative review. Thanks.
ur vids are awesome , can u make videos abt good budget cameras, how a indie videographer should get started, things we should keep in mind and what u think about film schools :)
So helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Thank you for this video.
How do you balance the Whitebalance, when you had the keylight outside in the snow?
Awesome tips! Thanks
Thanks for watching and for your support!
awesome intro!
What's the equivalent to 1200k or 2k or what
CRI exists
So true!. Thanks for watching!
How is it tungsten AND LED? I'm confused :(
LED lights come in different color temperatures. The 120T has a tungsten color temperature of 3200 degrees.
thanks for posting!
what is the down side of this light?
Hello. I don't understand : You advise to use tungsten but the review is for a led light ?
They are tungsten balanced lights. This video was made when bi-color lights were not available.
fantastic advice!!!!
Thanks! Help us out and share it with your friends

@@TheSlantedLens Thanks for your reply!
Why wouldnt you just give us footcandles or lux insteat of a random stop reading?
Or just buy gels for your daylight balance lights
same is true both ways.
What is this light equivalent to as far as typical tungsten studio lights? A 650? 1k?
hey i have the 120t and wondering if i can get the details of that grid you showed in the video?
hmmmm but then i need tWO lights to adjust to color temp
Hi what Kelvin temp is tungsten?
Tungsten is about 3200 Kelvin.
@@TheSlantedLens Big respect
I'm a big fan of tungsten but I ended up getting a Godox ML60 because it's such a great portable light (it is my first light). Is there any solution to make a daylight light warmer? - are gels a good idea? can they be used together with a soft box, or is that a bad idea?
Gels are a great idea. A full CTO on your Godox light will give you a tungsten color balance and work with your softbox if you make sure no light escapes the gel. If the gel does not cover the light completely your color balance will not be consistently tungsten.
How does this compare with the cheaper and very similar PixaPro LED mkii+?
I haven't used it, so I'm not sure. But I'm always wary of products that are much cheaper but very similar. They are usually able to cut costs by using inferior products that don't last and don't produce quality results.
Great.
Thanks!
Is ƒ4.09 really ƒ5.6? Or isn't it ƒ4?
Yes, it would be f/4. Thanks for watching!
What is the 120T LED lamp equivalent to in wattage?
Cheers
The specs say 1K but I think it is more comparable to a 650w light.
Why can't we use Daylight balanced lights and use gels ? i feel that daylight balanced has a lot more power, but putting on gels will slightly reduced light power.

Completely agree with u also ☺ May i connect with on FB for work enquiries or shoots .Thanks ☺
Unless I missed something, did you tell us the result of the 6ft test?
He did say the ISO and Aperture result from the meter, but I didn't hear which Shutter Speed was set. So, I guess there must be a standard shutter speed for metering lights like this?
Wilson Newman, hes metering 1/48th or if you don't have that 1/50th which would be the set shutter speed for 24p.
great video. hey JP can you do video stuff too?
Hey Henry. This light works for video. But what do you have in mind?
The Slanted Lens no not really 😂
I'm so lost about using continious lighting on photography, i saw tungsten or hmi lighting on great, expensive photography works, people who are great photographers. i have some inferences but not sure still.

6:06 sweet.
Glad you found it useful. Keep on clickin!
How many lumens is aputure 120, is it 120 watts?
3300 lux at 1 meter
I'm confused. The 120T is a tungsten light or an LED light? It says LED on Amazon.
It is an LED light that is tungsten balanced. Many LEDs are daylight balanced, but not all.
Cool. Do you think the Lightstorm LS 1C would be a good alternative as it can do bicolor?
зачем так пучить глаза?
so is that led or tungsten ?
it is an led that is in the color range of tungsten
:) love your videos!
Thank you, Alejandro!
Happy to see Rudy moved on from politics. Great!
I haven't heard that one before. Thanks for watching!

You’re so weird! ...Subscribed :)
I'll take that as a compliment! Welcome aboard!
There is no such thing as "tungsten LED", only LED balanced for tungsten.
Sorry to nitpick but you are plugging a product that you misspelled in your caption!!! Just trying to help!!
video sponsored by aputure... you get the lamp for free and you have to something good about it...
The video is sponsored by Aputure but it doesn't change the fact that they make great lights. We get paid to make the video, but we have free reign on our opinions. Freedom of speech
Stopped watching at 6:24 after hearing the price.
$600 for a single light? - Is this relevant for anyone who watches these videos? I would like to see more budget options...
there are a lot of them like godox, but with much lower CRI rating and some of them flicker if you shoot higher frame rate. High CRI lamps always be more expensive.
Relevant for me. 300 people liked it vs the 12 that disliked it.
graphicism relevant for people with decent jobs ..guess you need you need to make better life choices...
i have to say i get 6 of them they are a piece of shit don't wast your money
