Small studio - Indoor Lighting solutions suggestions 2018

konjow

Godox SL60 is a good light for fill or rim/hear light. Godox SL200 and Aputure 300w could be a good key option. Godox SL200 has bad reviews (even here) and Aputure seems to be good but Im looking for samething cheaper - does not need to work on battery but need to be 200/300W for a good key light.

Any suggestions for Sudio Key light to comlet SL60?

What are the alternative to at the moment or in comming 2018?

I like the Bowens options.

What is bad with Godox SL200? Noise?

If you are ok with large size lights - can use approach in http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/18240/making-cheap-studio-led-light#Item_10

Sl 200 yes its noise and more important color does not much to SL60. (could not see good review anyway) Id like to know if there is any other alternatives with Bowens mount preferable. Multi E27 is different form factor I do researcz them as well as a plan "Z" BTW Links in other topic ale currently not averrable.

@konjow

You saw measurements of SL200?

We'll publish video review very soon for SL60. And will ask Godox about more powerful lights.

I did not are they good enough? I have s60 quite long time just dont trust sl200 to pay over €300 So looking for alternatives.

What prevents you to use multiple SL60?

Get the T bar or similar.

I did not want to say it loud yet but will pebbly do. Also Im goind to try how modeling ligh 150 W works as soon as I get the strob :) Maybe there is a good CRI 150W bulp exist

@konjow

My good advice - get yourself distant from any 150w bulbs.

Just get multiple SL60, it'll be same color, easy to grade and easy to set light. Plus it'll be much softer light if needed, even without any softboxes.

konjow

I expect that is bad solution but Im waiting for strob for pics now anyway and there is a 150W modeling in them already. Im aware about color and its such a waste when you may have already 3 monolights with softboxes and 150 bulbs in them already. Godox could think about good cri modeling light ( even optional) as 150W is still over twice more then 60. Good modeling could work for wide apertures, newborns, animals photography as well. I will see as newer tried this yet ... Just saying ...

Ther is one more which Ive never seen Godox SL 150w https://www.amazon.co.uk/Godox-SL-150W-Channel-Wireless-Control/dp/B06XJSR1WX/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1514376278&sr=8-4&keywords=godox+sl60w
