[CRI 96] There are so many good things I can say about this light, and about my entire adventure into creating a GVM lighting kit.


For the sake of consistency in light output and color temperature, I like to keep my brand of lighting the same in my kit. After some research (probably more than most) I settled on GVM to start building my kit around. They have a decent following, make lights for every budget, and price for performance value is through the roof.


My trial was with a 2-panel LED Bi-Color/RGB kit, and after that, I was sold on choosing them to build my kit around. I have added bowens mount COB lights and LED panels like this one into my video kit and they have been indispensable and perfectly pairable for all kinds of shoots. I have basically matched my flash lighting setup (from a different brand) for photography with the constant light setup for video.


For an 8 light Greenscreen shoot for a client, I ended up using 6 lights to light the full length green screen (the picture was from the setup process, but forgot to take one with all lights going) I have a GVM100W as my main in a 36'' beauty dish borrowed from my photo kit, and the GVM 1000D working as the kick light (you can see it in the upper right corner) it's probably 8-10' from the subject at full power at 55k and it gave a really nice skip light at f4.


The 1000D is a great companion to to the G100W as a main and kick style setup. I also like that it has all the special effects as the 800D LED panels I have. They all play really well together.


I also really appreciate the soft case the light comes with. it helps when pairing down lights from my main kit.


Overall I am extremely happy with this light, and have been with my entire GVM kit thus far.

[2500 to 8000K] I am very impressed with this 3 light kit. The bag is amazing where everything is neatly packed. All three lights will be perfect for me on the go product photography. The stands are compact yet robust. From unboxing to ready to shoot it took less than 2 minutes to set everything up. I love that I can use use the power supply or even optional batteries to power the lights which again is amazing for location lighting.
I was initially worried that three lights and stands would be heavy, but to my surprise it was the perfect weight to carry all day without fatigue. This would be a great interview or YouTube setup too. Highly recommend this. In fact, I might look at buying another kit to keep in my studio.

[2500 to 8000K] This was great for on-the-go, in the field (with no electrical outlets) documentary shoot! Great output for a very run-and-gun shoot. I love my aperture lights, but this allowed for quick set up and tear down, which is incredibly valuable for the shoots I do

[0.83 lb] This is a fantastic light! Easy to use with Sinus app. Only wish the attachment point was sturdier.

[0.83 lb] Not very bright, but I bought them for just adding accent colors.

[CRI 96] I had first used this light when I borrowed it on a music video shoot and decided I had to get one for myself. The RGB settings are useful for more creative shots and the menu on the light itself is pretty easy to use. Mine even came fully charged out of the box!

[CRI 96] Im loving this light. I have the gvm 800D lights and they work great but for my video work I thought having these style lights that have sole built in light effects would be very useful for me. The back control buttons are pretty much the same with a few extra settings for controlling the preset light effects. This light does not come with a light stand so I just used another light stand that I had and mounts well. The foldable barn doors on the front of the light are easy to fold up and put away in the carrying case. And the barn doors also help with directing the light in a more specific area. The adjust angle of the light and mount design is very important for my needs as sometimes I film top down and I also want my lights to be facing down the same way my camera is facing and with these GVM series of lights it is possible. I don’t often use this light outdoors but the fact that we can power it via 2 NPF batteries is a huge bonus for mobile filming run and gun. The adjustable color spectrum and controls we have available at the back of the light along with using the mobile app. Just makes it very easy to operate and also very convenient to be able to control several lights when in the master and slave modes. Overall I am very happy with this light and my purchase.

[2500 to 8000K] This is my 1st set of LED video panel lights. Been thinking about getting some LED panels for a while.
I love how the GVM lights comes everything you need. includes carrying case, stands, and etc. Make it so much easier for me to take with me on location for video shoots.

The lights itself is very bright!!! There are 2 dials on the back of the each lights, control the Bi-color, and brightness. But for any of the RGB color controls, will require the cell phone app, and BT connection. This is something I wish GVM can improve in the future. Not everyone will like to use the app to control RBG colors. Wish there is a way to adjust the RGB without using the app.

But overall this is a great set of lights, for lighting up at least 20' x 20' stage. This adds so much more production values to my videos.

[CRI 96] These lights are amazing. I originally purchased one and once it arrive and I had a chance to use it, I immediately ordered two more. I now have three and use two for background lighting and one for the subject. The special effects are also excellent. Want a police scene - these are super great and creating that. Also, they are bright - very bright but also can be dimmed. The are about the size of a smart phone and store easy in the pocket of a camera bag. The batter life is also impressive and I love that the screen shows a countdown time to full charge. I love having this in the bag for when I want to get creative and add color to a scene.

[0.83 lb] I have a P60x and got this while it was on sale. Really like this light.Only thing that concerns me is the weight vs bracket screw. I hope it holds up.
