Review on GVM Continuous Lighting Video Recording Camera & Photo by Jason Taylor

Very happy with these bulbs and unbeatable price

I've only had this set for a few days but from what I've seen so far they are exactly what I was hoping for. would. I was looking at a few COB LED bulbs and couldn't get past them. I'm not sure how you can beat this set for the price. They give off a lot of light for such a small size. I've seen some criticism of them being plastic but I actually think that's a positive thing as it makes them very light and portable. And the Bowens mount is great because it has a locking mechanism that I'm more comfortable with maybe using it as a backlight. I put on the softbox I had and it fit perfectly and snapped into place. I plan on using one with a softbox and the other maybe as a bounce or umbrella. I think they will be fantastic for interviews. I also like the fact that the dimmer is very sensitive and works in very low light, unlike other lights I've used which can be too bright even on the lowest settings. This is the third GVM lighting kit I own. I have a 560as dual color flat panel kit and a 800d RGB flat panel kit and I am very satisfied with the quality and performance of the GVM products. And this P80S kit is a great addition to what I already have. Overall I think they're perfect for what they are, a no-frills, affordable, lightweight kit that has a big size and price advantage.
