Yongnuo, a maker of affordable LED lights, cameras, lenses, and photo flash units, is launching a new 300-watt RGB COB lighting fixture hot on the heels of their 100-watt version. We took the YNLUX 300RGB for a spin on multiple shoots and came back with a solid overview of the new light. Yongnuo was founded in 2012, and this is my first time working with a product from them. I’m especially interested in how their lights compare to other LED cinema lighting brands that I’ve worked with before, like GVM, NANLITE, Aputure, and others. An affordable price tag doesn’t necessarily mean lower quality (especially these days, as the bar gets higher and higher), and I’ll run the $450 YNLUX 300RGB through the same testing I do during all of my other lighting reviews. For this review, Yongnuo sent me their YNLUX 300RGB fixture plus a soft box and grid accessory. Initial impressions Out of the gate, I was struck by the case the $450 YNLUX 300RGB ships in. It isn’t too heavy, yet it seems to provide lots of protection. Thank you! It’s one of the things I harp on in my lighting reviews, especially since not everyone wants to spend their days looking for compatible hard cases for their entire kit. Good stuff.

In fact, there is so much foam I would 100% feel comfortable checking this...
