![]() Let me explain: COB stands for “Chip on Board” technology. All light comes from a single source, rather than the hundreds of small LEDs, which you’ll find on a typical LED panel. The Godox V元00 utilizes Chip on Board (or COB) technology. Initially, since we own the three Aputure LS-1S panels, I had been looking at the Aputure Lightstorm LS C120d II.īut here’s the difference, and why I needed to consider a different type of light: The Aputure LS-1S is an LED panel with hundreds of tiny 5mm LED light sources. I first looked at the Godox VL150 and was intrigued by its output, color accuracy and price. To find the right solution for the project, I started doing some research and came across Godox, which had just introduced its VL line of COB LED video lights this year. Confusion Over Diffusion: LEDs, COBs And The Shape Of Softboxes In short, I needed a sleeker, more stand-efficient solution for my main key source. It really takes two of the panels to output enough light to fill up the softbox and punch through, especially when I am using my 40-degree egg crate to keep the light off of the background and onto the talent (aka, “mitigating spill”). We own and have been using three of the excellent Aputure LS-1S Lightstorm LED panels for the past couple of years with good results.īut one area they’re not as effective in is filling up my Medium Chimera Quartz Pro softbox. In fact, we’ve used them extensively for the past few years on all kinds of shoots. I’ve found these lights have offered us a lot of value for the money. ![]() In analyzing the project, we were originally going to use three Aputure LS-1S Lightstorm LED panels we already own for our main workhorse lights. ![]() The directive of the project was to produce 10 instructional videos about the company’s new Dante network-enabled products. However, luckily, I landed a real, crewed, multi-camera production shot on a stage for Focusrite, a UK-based audio company. In 2020, my company’s production work was significantly slower than it was in 2019, mostly due to COVID-19.
