This is a three-head continuous lighting kit built around Godox's SL60IID, a daylight-balanced (5,600K) COB LED light with a Bowens-type front mount, sold with softboxes, stands and reflectors. The reviews cover the SL60IID head itself: Fstoppers found it accurate (rated CRI 96, with no significant colour cast in its tests), bright enough to key a talking-head video through a softbox, and well served by its phone app, while Zim Tech Guy and Creative Moments Hub both praised the build but flagged the fixed-speed fan and the lack of battery power. It suits video creators and photographers setting up a small mains-powered studio who want three matched daylight lights. Anyone who needs adjustable colour temperature, battery operation or enough output for a large set should look elsewhere.
Full review
Bright, colour-accurate daylight for small sets
Fstoppers measured 18,600 lux at 1 m with the supplied reflector fitted and 2,160 lux without it, and found that colour stayed consistent with no significant cast across the range; the light is rated at CRI 96. In its view the head works best with the reflector it ships with, and placed in a softbox it can comfortably light a talking-head video and serve as a key light. Fstoppers would not take it to a large set, preferring a more powerful light there. Zim Tech Guy, comparing it side by side with an older budget light at the same camera settings, found the SL60IID considerably brighter.
App control and built-in effects
All three reviewers singled out Bluetooth control. Fstoppers said being able to run most functions from a phone saved it a lot of time with lights mounted high on stands, and Zim Tech Guy noted the app sets brightness, runs effects and can control a group of lights, which matters in a three-light kit. On the back panel are a dimming knob, an effects knob and group, channel and Bluetooth buttons. Creative Moments Hub counted eight built-in effects, including lightning, TV, broken bulb and flashlight modes; Fstoppers was less convinced, describing the effects as an add-on to beef up the spec list.
A solid, light head with a few build omissions
Fstoppers described a metal-cased head weighing 1.43 kg with its power supply built in, light enough for inexpensive stands and small boom arms, and it judged the Mark II quieter and better constructed than the original SL60. It did, however, criticise the missing umbrella mount, which limits modifier choice, and a handle without a push-pull mechanism for easier tightening. The light is not weather-sealed, so Fstoppers treats it as primarily a studio light.
Fan noise, mains power and fixed colour
Zim Tech Guy said the fan is the main problem: its speed cannot be adjusted, which can be an issue when recording with a camera's built-in microphone, though not with a lavalier or shotgun mic. Fstoppers found the same fan very quiet and barely audible, so how much it matters depends on the audio setup. Both YouTube reviewers pointed out there is no battery option, limiting the light to places with mains power, and Creative Moments Hub noted that the D model is daylight only, recommending the bi-colour version for anyone who needs to shift colour temperature.
Strengths
- +Accurate CRI 96 light with no significant colour cast across the dimming range in Fstoppers' tests
- +Puts out 18,600 lux at 1 m with the supplied reflector, enough for a talking-head key light
- +Bluetooth app adjusts brightness and effects and can control a group of lights at once
- +Compact 1.43 kg metal head with a built-in power supply, so no separate power brick
- +Built-in effects simulate lightning, a TV, a broken bulb and a flashlight
Watch-outs
- −Mains power only: there is no battery option, which ties it to studio or powered locations
- −The cooling fan runs at a fixed speed and can be picked up by an on-camera microphone
- −No umbrella mount, and the mounting handle lacks a push-pull tightening mechanism
How it compares
Unlike the Godox SL60IIBi Bi-Color LED Kit, the SL60IID heads are fixed at 5,600K daylight, so colour temperature cannot be adjusted. It supplies three continuous lights where the Neewer 700W Softbox Lighting Kit has two, and it is a continuous-light kit rather than a flash set like the Elinchrom D-Lite RX 4/4 Softbox To Go Set or the Godox SK400II 2-Light Studio Flash Kit.
