I am very skeptical of the listed brightness of the C100. I measured the VL150 (which is 150 watts, and very efficient) with my Sekonic C-800 and it was 6780 Lux. The Pixel C220 (which is 220 watts, and less efficient than Godox) was 7170 Lux. That’s only about 1/10 a stop of difference in 70 watts. The C100 is only 80W, so would be more comparable to the SL60W. I would urge everyone to basically ignore manufacturer listed specs, because you can’t compare apples to apples when the numbers are “gamed”.

Thanks for watching and the comment. Yeah I think your right, my light metre isn’t as accurate as the Sekonic C-800 but in use in my studio I’ve found my VL150 to be consistently almost twice as bright as the C100 using the same modifiers. BTW - I really enjoyed your 75k subs video, great insight 👍😀

@@cameracravings3216 Sorry if my comment seemed super negative! I typed it last night almost falling asleep so just wanted to get the info out there before my eyes closed, LOL. The Pixel lights are good lights. Really small, come with a nice case, and you can run them (at least the C220) with the fan completely off until they get too hot. And thanks for the support! You have a new subscriber yourself :)

I purchased a Pixel C220 and the yoke broke when attached a 2,5 kg softbox. It overall wasn't feeling that solid when it just broke one day. Do you thing the yoke on the Godox is more robust? Thanks for the video. Good quality and structure.

Sorry to hear that, have you tried to get a replacement under warranty? - yeah the Godox is definitely better built, the yoke and fastening for it feel much more robust.

@@cameracravings3216 Since I bought it on amazon I luckily got refund. The thing to tighten it didn't broke it was the screw. But the bigger problem was that anytime I put on the softbox it didn't hold it and tilted. That is why I am asking if the godox is stronger because it is more expensive, but if it can hold it that's ok.

Hi guys, another lighting review for you! This Pixel C100 is great value and I'm pretty impressed with it. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions about anything I've talked about in the video, drop a comment below and I'll try to answer. The video is uploaded at 4K quality, so adjust settings to watch highest quality, once KZitem sorts itself out! Thanks for watching :-)

Hi, I bought from Amazon uk but it seems a lot of these types of product are out of stock at the moment (maybe a knock on effect of Covid in last few months and impact on supply chains) - only other place that seems to have it available at the moment is Ali Express but I’m not sure I’d buy a light from there? If I find any other UK seller I’ll update in the comments and vid description. Hope you find one.

Hi. I ordered one of these lights and I'm a little disappointed. I'm can't understand how to change the color temperature manually (there's nothing in the instruction manual that explains it), and the remote (which is quite cheap) works only to power the light or dim it. Are you able to change the color temperature without having to rely on the remote?
@cameracravings3216

ratt57 - hi it’s a daylight balanced light meaning it has a fixed kelvin value/colour temp of 5600k. If you want a light that you can adjust colour temp you’d need to look for one that states it’s bi-colour in the description (Usually they list the colour temps a light will operate between).

@@cameracravings3216 Hi, and thanks for your reply. I understand that now. Seeing that the digital readout on the light said '5600' made it look to me like it was changeable. Also, the instruction manual states that you CAN change the color temp using the remote. It was a little confusing.

Whats going on with these companies?! the pixel is unavailable and so is the Godox VL series.. no clear place to buy the pixel either no dedicated website it's almost like they don't want you to buy their products. Awful marketing strategy.

Yeah I know it’s frustrating literally all started going out of stock a week or 2 after I made the review videos, I’m not sure if it’s related to the virus or not, as most of this stuff is made in China so maybe it’s the knock on effect of their lockdown earlier in the year? Feels particularly difficult to get hold of stuff in UK at the moment.
