Godox VL150II Daylight LED Monolight (165W) Review

The Godox VL150II Daylight LED Monolight is presented as a 165W fixture. It is designed for video production and vlogging, and offers a fixed color temperature of 5600K with a +/- 200K variance. Key features include a high CRI of 96, indicating accurate color rendition, and a dimming range from 0 to 100%. The inclusion of V-mount battery support, though the battery is not included, suggests flexibility for location work when combined with AC power options.

Its light output is rated at 6100 Lux at 1 meter without a reflector, increasing significantly to 76,000 Lux at 1 meter when utilizing a reflector. At 3 meters, the output is 810 Lux. The unit incorporates fan cooling, which is standard for COB lights of this wattage. Its physical dimensions and weight of 1700g position it as a portable yet substantial lighting tool.

Considering its specifications, the VL150II appears to be a capable option for creators requiring a daylight-balanced light with strong output and color accuracy. The 165W power rating and high CRI are notable for its intended use cases in video and vlogging.
