Do you find these large enough to use as keylights for interviews? Not talking just in terms of power output, but sheer size with the softboxes and grids on for nice, soft light and falloff.

I’ll check it out, but it’s not just Aputure. All RGBWW LED panels or COBs I’ve read about have low SSI scores, particularly at 5600K. I was looking at the Intellytech LiteCloth 3.0 Mega-4FC, and it’s similar. I’m wondering how folks deal with the color accuracy, especially, as I was saying, in the skin tones. The Pavoslim 60c/120c mentioned above by @Jason R Johnston have the same, low scores. If one looks at a bi-color COB, like the Amaran 200x S, the scores are over 10 points higher for both 3200K and 5600K. Reviewers mention this, but they don’t discuss post work involved in color correcting. There are two things I need to decide on - COB with softbox vs LED panel, and then daylight or bi-color vs RGBWW.

Interesting thread, as I’m in the same position as the OP. The bi-color COBs (Amaran 60/100/200x S) seem to have much better SSI scores, especially at 5600K, so the color accuracy and skintones should be better, no? All the bi-color or RGBWW LED panel lights (or RGBWW COBs for that matter) I’ve looked at have SSI scores in the low-mid 70s at 5600k and low-mid 80s at 3200K. I’d love the versatility a RGBWW light has to offer, but not if the colors take a backseat, especially skintones. In terms of COBs with domes vs panels, I can see the benefits of both, which is why I can’t decide which way to go. I also like to keep things simple and versatile. It’s not easy to choose a set of 2-3 lights.
