The Zhiyun Molus G60 pocket COB LED video light, the light that promises to deliver powerful and versatile lighting in a compact and portable package. But, the question is, does it do that and does size really matter when it comes to lighting up your subject?
This COB light is so small (its size it often compare to a Rubik’s cube) that it fits in the palm of my hand, and it’s light too weighing only 300 grams.
On its own (without the use of the accessories), it has a maximum illuminance of 2376 lux, but with one of the accessories (the Zhiyun mini reflector) that illuminance is multiplied by over 4.5x to give a max illuminance of 11194 lux.
Unfortunately, it’s not an RGB light nor does it have any lighting effects but does have a colour temperature range of between a warm 2700K to a cool 6500K, so if you’re filming in a studio setting (where the optimum standardised colour is generally around 5500K), then that mark is going to be comfortably achieved by the G60.
It has a high CRI score of 96 and TLCI score of 97. The CRI, is a measure of how well a light source can show the true colours of objects to the human eye and the TLCI, is a measure of how well a light source can show those true colours of the objects to video cameras, both scored out of 100, and the G60’s…
