I've had these lights for 3 years, and I didn't know any of this about them! Thanks so much!!

[@ALightOn]

Are these enough to light a pure white background for headshot work?

[@markockwell]

Came for the lights but did stay for the DOG - cheers for brightening up my day....

[@ramiroramirez5041]

Hi Dave, thanks for sharing this review. I'm Ramiro from Colombia. I bought this light kit to create content and they are my first lights. The intention is to use it for my personal branding type podcast. Since I am not an expert in lighting and I am a novice could you advise me some possible configuration to get the best out of them? Thanks

[@ismaelrionda]

Your review video is great - keep up the good work!! I was wondering how these lights compare with the SWIT PL-E60D ones. The latter are slightly bigger in size and much more expensive. So I wasn't keen on spending that money if I could find a reasonably similar use in the GVM 560-AS ones! I am referring especially to the possibility of using them outdoors sometimes - and not only in a studio. Would you say that they both do a similar job in general? Or is it worth spending the extra money on the SWIT ones? Thanks!

[@cliffarnold7463]

Thank you SO much for pointing me at this video (asked on another). Great info!

[@353Studios]

As far as I know . you can have one light as master and other as slaves... so you control all at same time

[@TheHellis]

So if the cable is the biggest issue then that can easily be solved by cutting it and adding longer cable.

[@DaveMcKeegan]

Yes if you're comfortable enough with cutting and extending then that is a workable solution

[@TheHellis]

@@DaveMcKeegan yeah... You could perhaps borrow Rusty's bed to sit on, it looks comfortable. But cutting and soldering is easy...

[@DaveMcKeegan]

True but not everyone is used to soldering or really up for hacking and modding their new equipment 🤣

[@TheHellis]

@@DaveMcKeegan I understand that some may hesitate. But if you want to make it dead simple then you can just buy these sleeves you just thread over the splice and melt with a lighter. It creates a solder joint and is supposed to be waterproof. You can do it Dave!

[@bigfil1981]

Zip ties.

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

Can this light change different colors. Geen blue ....

[@DaveMcKeegan]

No unfortunately this is not an RGB light, it's a Bi-colour so it only offers varying colour temperatures rather than the full range of colours GVM do have other similar panels which are RGB though

[@Forthejoyofphotography]

As of now (09/10/2020) in the UK for 11 hours or until 100% claimed Amazon have 2 Lightning deals for 2 versions of their BiColour LED lights. Reduced from £104.99 to £75.99 and £114.20 to £82.50 respectively.

[@ItsPinecone_911]

Those stripes on the background wall looks sweet. Definitly keep it!

[@DaveMcKeegan]

Yes I am rather fond of them 😊

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

How did you do the cool light effect.

[@alchemist_x79]

Good stuff. I have the 50RS RGB version and overall I'm pretty happy with it, aside from the same issue with the power brick dangling. It came with a couple diffuser options, but I find that I get the best results when I just throw the cheapo Neewer pop-up softbox I have over it, haha. Works great for gear shots.

[@sidney8586]

Do you have a link to the diffuser you use? Thanks

[@ArcHourGaming]

Great video, Thank you for the review.

[@bimatvug]

You have me sir! Very brilliant review! I will get this light and the GVM 800D and i will be done with buying lights for now .

[@TravelingFloridians]

Do these do RBG colors

[@DaveMcKeegan]

Not these ones specifically but I do believe they sell a RGB version too

[@jimgraves4197]

It's good to see you trying out various lights as Rusty is very particular about how his legion of fans see him. ;) The problem of a dangling power pack is easily solved by strapping it to the stand with some velcro straps. You probably already have some if you have a Go Pro.

[@DaveMcKeegan]

Yes strapping the block to the stand does help the problem, but does still mean if the light is extended to full height then the block puts additional weight which can cause instability, would definitely be better if it had a longer cable 😊

[@VOKASINEMA]

Great job! Nice video!

[@Fn_stefan]

Cute springer.

[@michaelballance1893]

6:25 You should have said 3800 Lux at 0.5 meters. You said Lumens.

[@DaveMcKeegan]

Thank you for the correction 😊

[@bobhoveyga]

@@DaveMcKeegan Actually, according to GVM spec, it's 3800 lux at 1m, 13500 lux at 0.5m.

[@guyjordan8201]

🔥🔱🐾🐕 nice looking product. There are clamps available for holding power-bricks to the light stand.

[@starmotoalex]

Bro respect !~ you need more attension and more followers in comparation with the quality of your videos! You are so good thanks bro! ?

[@DaveMcKeegan]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it
