LED Niova 60 Plus Bi Color : Horrible...

2 years ago

First off, this was only supposed to be used as rim light or to power a lantern to light up the dark backgrounds a little.

The built quality is very low and I wouldn't dare taking this anywhere out of the studio. Then, the fan noise... Super loud for this small light!

Compared to the comparable Amaran COB lights I'd say it's 3-4 times louder. If you record an interview or some sort of talking head, forget this light or have iZotope RX ready for de-noising the audio track.

The remote is as expected (judging by the pictures): Feels like it's from the 90s.

Lastly, the light quality itself: Horrible.. All sorts of green & magenta tints.

This was the first and last time I tried a non Aputure/Amaran light and it'll go back right away.
