Both Godox VL150 and SL150W II supports a yoke with a handle that allows full 360-degree rotation of the light. In addition, both models offer an option to turn off the fan if you need total silence while shooting, but with reduced brightness. Note that the fan noise is already minimal in both models. Specifications | Godox VL150 vs SL150W II Godox VL150 will suit you best if you are looking to shoot outdoor and carry around equipment frequently and it is much lighter than SL150W II. The later one is specifically for studios and does not come with support for an external battery, that’s the reason it’s priced lower than SL150W II. Both Godox VL150 and SL150W II are daylight corrected to 5600K(± 200K). In terms of color accuracy, both of them carry a high CRI rating of 95. However, a slight difference arises when it comes to TLCI measurement. Godox SL150W II boasts a slightly higher TLCI value of 97 vs 95 that VL150 supports.

Similar to the VL Series, the SL series currently has three different lighting units to choose between. These are the Godox SL 150 II LED Light, Godox SL150 II Bi LED Light and Godox SL200 II LED Light. h Godox really need to produce fresnels (and a projection attachment) which are optimised for their lights. This is the big gap between them and Aputure and NanLite. The Godox VLII Series maintain its super-high CRI (Colour-Rendering Index) rating of ≥96 and a TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of ≥96 for accurate colour reproduction. This ensures that colours are reproduced faithfully in your photographs and in your footage. The VL150II is suitable for Professional Broadcast use as well as for Filmmaking and Commercial Cinematography. Built-in Lighting FXTo deal with the added power output and brightness, the weight of the units also differs. The VL300 is the heaviest of the three lights at 2.64KG, with the VL200 offering a weight of 2.23KG and finally the VL150 offering the lowest weight of 1.79KG. However, even with the added weight of the lights, they all do still offer the same dimensions. For less than the cost of the UL 150 you could buy an SL200 II which is very quiet at full power and even quieter when you reduce the power. Review here . The VL150II can output a lot of power, whilst maintaining a lightweight and compact body. They feature a separate control panel, which not only makes the light itself smaller and lighter. It also enables you to easily control the light without a remote, even when the light is mounted high up. After the above analysis, it is safe to say that the performances of both Aputure LS C120D II and Godox VL150 are on par with each other. The build quality of the Godox model is also good as the Aputure LS C120D II. All three lighting units can be powered either using the included mains power cable or using a V-Mount battery (Sold Separately) with the built-in V-Mount battery plates for use on both studio and location shoots. The entire VL series lighting units come with Bowens S-Type mount as standard to allow these to be used with a selection of different light modifiers to offer ample light control.

Both models deliver somewhat similar light output. Godox VL150 can deliver 61000 lux at 1m with just the standard reflector whereas the SL150W II models can deliver 58000 lux at 1m with the standard reflector. Practically, there is only a slight difference between the lux value at 5600K and it can be further increased using a Fresnel. Both models can dim their light as low as 0% from full brightness giving you full control over what you are buying. As the name implies, the power output is different between each unit. The VL300 is the most powerful of the three units offering 300W power output, the VL200 is next with a power output of 200W and the VL150 is last on the list with 150W power output. With the difference in power output also comes a difference between the brightness of all three units. When measured at 1m, the VL150 offers the lowest brightness of 61,000 LUX, the VL200 follows with a brightness of 75,000 LUX and the VL300 is the brightest of the three lights with a brightness of 77,000 LUX.The main difference between these three lights is that the SL 150 II and SL200 II are both Daylight Balanced lighting units and the SL 150 II Bi is a Bi-Colour lighting unit, offering an adjustable Colour Temperature between Daylight Balanced and Tungsten lighting. The power output of the lighting units is also different, with both the SL 150 II and SL 150 II Bi offering a maximum power of 150W and the SL 200 II being the most powerful at 200W power output. In terms of the overall brightness of these lighting units, when measured at 1m, the SL 150 II Bi offers the lowest brightness of 30,000 LUX due to having to share the power output across its adjustable colour temperature. The SL 150 II is the next brightest at 58,000 LUX and the SL 200 II is the brightest of the three SL series lights at 74,000 LUX. Finally, the dimensions and weight of each unit is different across the SL series. The SL 200 II is the largest with dimensions of 36.7cm x 20cm x 16cm and a weight of 3.33KG. Whilst the SL 150 II and SL 150 II Bi offer the same dimensions of 34cm x 20cm x 16cm, the SL 150 II Bi is slightly heavier at 3.07kg compared to 2.95KG of the SL 150 II.
