Why would anyone give a tutorial or review video thumbs down is beyond me. Don't like move on. Somebody actually took the time to make a free informative video for you. That alone is worth the thumbs up.
This was my first thought too when I saw the thumbs down. Insane isn't it, how ungrateful people are. I was actually happy to see you pointed that out haha
Great video! I bought a pair of 55w lights. I’ve found that cutting the light with the barn doors works a lot better with the lens removed. Beautiful lights.
Great discovery in finding your helpful information today! Thanks for showing samples of lighting to see actual output of lights. Definitely worth subscribing after watching 2 of your videos!
I own the three kit of 55w boltzens and after two shoots i came to realize that i needed something with more output as a key light. i found myself fighting office lighting that couldnt be turned off in the building so having a reference in the 150w versions here is great. thanks for doing this caleb
You really should do an update of your lighting on different bufgets series. I really liked those videos because you did not only show options fore complete setups on different price points but also gave examples on how to use them so that newbies like me could really get an idea of what the lights can do. By now there are a lot of new options available and if other people are the same as me, they tend to give newer videos more attention when it comes to buying advice. Keep up the good work, cheers ;)
Love your content and channel, and this was a great review of these lights. Not a fan of the super close cut ins, though. I think you provide excellent content without needing to emulate the coy PewDiePie type shot.
Few comments asking how they compare to the apartures. To save you repeating yourself could I suggest a video comparison. Apature mini 20, 120d and 300d vs the closest comparison of the Came tv's. I like I'm sure many others have eyes on these products as future purchases, would be interesting to see you opinion. I'd said to myself the apatures are the ones to go for, but these being bi colour are looking a lot more attractive.
Me too. I'm about to buy a couple lights. I have a 120d but I need like 2 or 3 more lights to have a decently versatile kit. Came-Tv looking nice, but comparisons are nicer.
Hey Celab! Fist off I want to send my appreciation to all the great content you’re producing! I’ve been looking for a comparison between the rhino and the footage shark slider with no luck. Since I think you’re doing the best product reviews that I know of, I’d love to see you compare these two. Regards
I'd love a video about more affordable lights like this but updated for 2020. Your old "Best lights under $X" videos are great but I'd love to see them with some of the newer lights we've gotten since you made them
Watched this video several times now, great! My main concern about these lights is the fan. I’ve had no problems with my Aputure 120d and would love to know how 55w/100w fans compare!
As usual it depends. $/Watt wise, the 150 is brighter and you don't need to purchase a fresnel lens (built in). Also the controls are built in making it an all in one compared to the 120 external controller. But the 120 is easy to rig up on a boom due to the smaller size... Comes down to big brighter light or smaller more compact light.
great video thanks i'm currently saving up for a 55w one, I think they look fantastic. when the new aperture LED fresnels came out I was interested in them, but the high colour temperature puts me off, and the price. Me and some friends are trying to make a low budget film noir, I think fresnels will give us a better look than relying on the LED panels we have now
I’d love to see these lights operating outside the confines of your studio, perhaps in an exterior location. I’m very interested in the throw of the 150 light. I can picture using it to wash a dark background. Is it powerful enough for that?
What's the background nois I can hear at 09:10? Is the B-60S doing this noise? Other than that I have to thanks you very much because this is a very usefull video, as much of your video are!! Great job!
I like your overviews but this would be so much better and not seem like an ad if you talked about price, were critical of the build quality and compared them to other options on the market. Keep it up though, useful.
Hi Caleb. Thanks for the detailed feedback. Unfortunately I can't find these lights on any rental here in Paris and I've come across a couple of videos where they pointed out the screws on the sides might break easily. Are they plastic? I wanted to know your thoughts on that and the over all durability of these lights if you've been using them for the past 5 months. Has your opinion changed since November? I'm also interested in a compare video against the Aputure direct competition models!
Do you have a light meter? And would it be possible to do a quick reading next time you're testing these? It will better help some of us to understand how powerful they really are. Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Definitely need to test the light output. It's actually one of the most important things when it comes to LEDs in particular... Also how long they last on battery ;)
Hi Caleb. Thanks for the excellent video. Do you know what's the use of the looped wire with the snap hook which is included in the bag of the Boltzen 150W led? Thanks for your time.
I can confirm the Q series is better! Also no power loss with 2 npf batteries. 40% brighter they claim. I just got the Q55 daylight and love it so far. Also the yoke locks
Great video! Curious if it's reasonable to expect a lower output from the bi-color versions of any of the lights vs the daylight only model. Thank you!
Hi. I'm torn now between getting a 100W or an Apurutre 120d. I like bicolor, and I can't find anything about gelling the Apurutre 120d. I already have a Apurutre Tri Panel, and want to stay in the family. But these CameTVs are pretty compelling. Which way would you go?

Hey Caleb. Nice Review as always. I have a question about the Yoke. I can see that the middle sized bodies do have the Yoke Rosette Cabs to make it more stable when mounting a softbox or so. Like the 55w use to have when buying the bowens ring. But i cant see them on the biggest body like the 100w without fan and the 150w with fan. Would you say that it would hold a lets say 150cm octabox without tilting down? Thank you for your help.
Your lighting videos are helping me so much! Making it extremely hard to choose!! If you had to compare one of the Came tv lights to the aputure 120d which would it be? Which would you recommend? I was thinking about purchasing a 120d after your review, but the these lights seem awesome and versatile! The bicolor is also extremely clutch. Thanks Caleb!
Thanks Byrd! As usual it depends. $/Watt wise, the 150 is brighter and you don't need to purchase a fresnel lens (built in). Also the controls are built in making it an all in one compared to the 120's external controller. But the 120 is easy to rig up on a boom due to the smaller size... Comes down to big brighter light or smaller more compact light.
Hey there! Thank you for this informative review! I am looking to get a set of 3 Bi-Color of either the 55W or 60S Fanless to be my primary lighting setup. Do you recommend one or the other? Color was BEAUTIFUL from the B-60S, but my main concern is that is does not spot enough. Will that become an issue for keying talking head or interview style shoots?
I think after reading the previous comments, it seems the thing those of us considering these lights vs. the COBs is the BiColor option. I'm just getting started so I'll probably be getting a 100w bicolor. And that's even though I have an Apurture LED panel.
Excellent tutorial, I have a question if we compare came 55 to dlh 4 from dedo what do you think can we shape light with came 55 and get almost the same we get from dedo dlh 4, I am saying this because the price is affordable Another suggestion can you create a tutorial about noir and low key lighting by came .tv 55 Regards
Please do a comparison between 55 w and 60 w.It's worth to pay 100 $ more only for 5w? I know, the second one is fanless, but in terms of brightness, is noticeable ?
So glad I watched this, as I almost purchased 2 of the F100's, BUT the spotting is HORRIBLE. I have 12" fresnel with smaller spot-ability. Why limit the use? Do they have an extension to focus spot better? F150 was slightly better, but still....And you sure don't spend any time showing this limitation :-/ The little lights are nice though! Thanks for the review.
Hi Caleb, I saw a review from Tom Antos a while back where he used the 30w as a key, even through a Light Dome. Do you think that could work in a small studio space? And how about using the 55w to fill a background? Bright enough? Thanks for the review.
hello, great video! I wanted to know what brightness those the Boltz 60w, 100w and 150w compare to like the Mole Richardsons 650 and 1k? Or which one of the Boltz would be equivalent to the same brightness as the Aputure 120D? Thank you
So if i were to buy some of these lights. Which would you suggest are absolutely essential? My best guess is 2 of the f-100s Watt and three of the f-55s as you can both dim them to resemble 60w and 30w respectively. And then maybe one of the f-150w just to have that extra punch when you need it? (My aim is to use these lamps on smaller commercial productions and high-end short films)
These Lights are cool i was wondering can you recommend one or a few of these to light a stage with musicians dancers singers that will give enough light that i may not have to raise my iso to high.also do these lights come with stands?
When you say the 150w is brighter than the 120d, do you mean brighter than the 120d as it is shipped or with the fresnel attachment? Thanks in advance.
What's the weight difference between the 55w and 60/100w? I can't find that info anywhere (EDIT Nevermind found it in a newshooter article! 60 watt fanless/100w fw/fan is 2.3kg (5.07lb))
Thanks for all your work and time which you put in to your reviews. Is there any chance you could review Dracast.com light panels or fresnels? i would be interested in cinerary but any would be very helpful? And perhaps Litegear.com Litemat light later. Many thanks in advance.
How do these accept modifiers? Namely larger softboxes/deep domes like 36” and 48”? I saw Tom Antos review the smaller ones and said it couldn’t keep up with his Aputure light dome. What types of modifiers would you use for these? Would the larger of the fresnel fixtures be able to accept such larger modifiers?
Were you able to test which ones can run off a single v-mount battery? On BH and adorama it states that some models require 24 volts DC (2 v mounts), but on Came-TV.com all lights are listed as having starting DC at 12. I want to buy one of these lights but they're product info doesn't make it very easy lol.
The chart on CAME's site rates the output for the bi-color Botzens to be lower than their daylight counterparts. You mentioned you didn't notice any change in output?
Rusty Cockrell It’s hard to perceive the difference between 1000 lux when you’re dealing with 6000 lux total output unless you’re using a meter or doing a side by side. Light perception is tricky when the output gets up there.
Hey Caleb, Can you guide me in finding the brightest possible lights that are powered with NPF-70s? I noticed a few of these lights are battery powered. I would like to use lights on the go. Any help with this would be great. Thank you. - Paul
Thank's for great review. I've got one question. Is it possible to put on 150W version big bowens mount softbox (like 120cm size) with no problem? I've 55W version and only very light softbox is OK.
Kitchen Live Studio Boltzen. It comes with the lens and is more powerful and is cheaper. No dopey hanging controller either. The lights are really about a 650w tungsten equivalent, so you’re not likely to boom the light super high where you’d need a separate controller. Listening to Ted from Aputure, he originally called the 120d a 1.5k tungsten equivalent. He got called out and now says he doesn’t like doing equivalencies. The only advantage I see with the Aputure is the included remote but Came has an optional WiFi dongle as well. But I don’t care about remotes because I’m used to lighting things the old way.
Hey Caleb, why is it that for the f55 and all other models in you video, the yoke has an umbrella holder, but the product photos don’t show the umbrella hole/holder?:(
i could buy three of the small boltzen, two 30w and a 50w and have that as my whole light kit... Might dump the panels I have now, I am trying to be smaller and lighter.
How well does the 150 watt perform in pure daylight setting? Eg: using the 150 watt as a key or rim/kicker light in an interview set outside under direct sunlight? I am looking for a LED light to act similar to a 2000w blonde. Is that possible?
I'm looking for the cheap/low budget alternative for the Rotolight AEOS with the soft-box as on location light for portrait. Can you suggest something ?
Hi. I know this is an older video, but I'm looking to buy these lights (the 55w) and I'm not sure if I should get the bi-color or the daylight one... Do you know if there's any power lost on the bi-color? I saw somewhere that since it had both colors, the daylight (or tungsten) is not as bright as the daylight 55w... Thanks!
Why would anyone give a tutorial or review video thumbs down is beyond me. Don't like move on. Somebody actually took the time to make a free informative video for you. That alone is worth the thumbs up.
This was my first thought too when I saw the thumbs down. Insane isn't it, how ungrateful people are. I was actually happy to see you pointed that out haha
Thank you for explaining what the letters and numbers mean on the products you review, it really helps a lot!
I love the detail which your videos provide; really, really helpful!
Thanks Martin! Was really hard to cut this video. Trying to balance specs with actual lighting. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
DSLR Video Shooter- You're my go-to reviewer now, hands down.
Thanks for the overview Caleb! These look really nice!
It's here!!!! What I've been waiting for!!! Thank you Caleb! Hopefully we have an alternative to the 120 series which I really enjoy using currently.
Great video! I bought a pair of 55w lights. I’ve found that cutting the light with the barn doors works a lot better with the lens removed. Beautiful lights.
Since NAB is canceled this year. Is there a list of 2020 lights that are affordable for people that we should consider?
yes please
Loving this. We are looking at getting a new set of lights for the studio and this is a ton of help. Thanks CP!
hi, try: www.mhgled.com to see led fresnel light with single color, bi-color, RGBW for option
Great discovery in finding your helpful information today! Thanks for showing samples of lighting to see actual output of lights. Definitely worth subscribing after watching 2 of your videos!

Thanks for doing this, Caleb! I'm super stoked on these lights💡
Learning so much from you. Thank you for the hard work.
Those little quick zooms had me rolling.
haha i enjoyed the video specially the extreme close up when something weird or funny comes on.....good sense of humor!
Love your content and channel, and this was a great review of these lights. Not a fan of the super close cut ins, though. I think you provide excellent content without needing to emulate the coy PewDiePie type shot.
Loving them super zoomed in bits, I always thought it was a good way to capitalize on those little awkward moments. Just do what's good for you, man.
Not only was this super informative but also hilarious. “Here are what I think” lol 👌🏽👌🏽
Solid as usual man.
Few comments asking how they compare to the apartures. To save you repeating yourself could I suggest a video comparison. Apature mini 20, 120d and 300d vs the closest comparison of the Came tv's.
I like I'm sure many others have eyes on these products as future purchases, would be interesting to see you opinion. I'd said to myself the apatures are the ones to go for, but these being bi colour are looking a lot more attractive.
Comparisons are definitely inbound! Wanted to keep the video as short as possible which still didn't happen lol.
Would love to see that too ! Thanks for the video Caleb
I hope this comparison video is coming out soon
Me too. I'm about to buy a couple lights. I have a 120d but I need like 2 or 3 more lights to have a decently versatile kit. Came-Tv looking nice, but comparisons are nicer.
Great content as always, the punch ins were a wonderful touch lol.
Hey Celab!
Fist off I want to send my appreciation to all the great content you’re producing!
I’ve been looking for a comparison between the rhino and the footage shark slider with no luck. Since I think you’re doing the best product reviews that I know of, I’d love to see you compare these two.
Regards
Finally!!! I’ve been waiting you to do a review of the 30 and 50!! :-D
the zoom in shots are funny LMAO keeps the video fun to watch
*if you're into that* dramatic zoom
Great. More gear that I must have. Caleb knows how to take my money.
Great review Caleb! One piece of information that would be super helpful would be battery life estimates on the bigger models. Thanks!
I'd love a video about more affordable lights like this but updated for 2020. Your old "Best lights under $X" videos are great but I'd love to see them with some of the newer lights we've gotten since you made them
Welcome to LED Video Shooter!
Would love to see a few wider shots on each one to get a better idea of the setup and distance
Between the CAME TV 150w and the Aputure 120D what is more convenient to use, color accuracy between them, please make a side by side :)
It's a bit of a mental adjustment to think of a 150W light as having a large output. These are excellent.
James Hastings I’ve got 20+ years experience with tungsten and HMI. These new fresnel LEDs blow my mind, too.
Watched this video several times now, great! My main concern about these lights is the fan. I’ve had no problems with my Aputure 120d and would love to know how 55w/100w fans compare!
love the new do! Thank you for teaching me too!
Thanks Robert! Very much enjoying the careless hair care or lack there of!
How would you compare these to the light storm series?
Aperture 120 COB or the CAME 150??
As usual it depends. $/Watt wise, the 150 is brighter and you don't need to purchase a fresnel lens (built in). Also the controls are built in making it an all in one compared to the 120 external controller. But the 120 is easy to rig up on a boom due to the smaller size... Comes down to big brighter light or smaller more compact light.
I would love to see how they compare to aputure LEDs. Lol and is there a 300D review video coming out soon?
I just did a comparison with the 55w bi-colors. Uploaded to my channel.
Yes I have plans for that. And yes, 300D review inbound!
DSLR Video Shooter OHHH BOY I can't wait !!!!!!
You should compare the 300D to the 150w boltzen!
Great review. Looks like a great up-coming manufacturer.
very nice review, thanks
great video thanks
i'm currently saving up for a 55w one, I think they look fantastic. when the new aperture LED fresnels came out I was interested in them, but the high colour temperature puts me off, and the price.
Me and some friends are trying to make a low budget film noir, I think fresnels will give us a better look than relying on the LED panels we have now
As always, great video!
How do you store and organize your cameras, lenses and adapters?
I’d love to see these lights operating outside the confines of your studio, perhaps in an exterior location. I’m very interested in the throw of the 150 light. I can picture using it to wash a dark background. Is it powerful enough for that?
The 150 is startlingly bright. You could definitely do that!
What's the background nois I can hear at 09:10? Is the B-60S doing this noise? Other than that I have to thanks you very much because this is a very usefull video, as much of your video are!! Great job!
I like your overviews but this would be so much better and not seem like an ad if you talked about price, were critical of the build quality and compared them to other options on the market. Keep it up though, useful.
Hi Caleb. Thanks for the detailed feedback. Unfortunately I can't find these lights on any rental here in Paris and I've come across a couple of videos where they pointed out the screws on the sides might break easily. Are they plastic? I wanted to know your thoughts on that and the over all durability of these lights if you've been using them for the past 5 months. Has your opinion changed since November?
I'm also interested in a compare video against the Aputure direct competition models!
Do you have a light meter? And would it be possible to do a quick reading next time you're testing these? It will better help some of us to understand how powerful they really are.
Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Definitely need to test the light output. It's actually one of the most important things when it comes to LEDs in particular... Also how long they last on battery ;)
Excellent work. Thanks.
Hi Caleb. Thanks for the excellent video. Do you know what's the use of the looped wire with the snap hook which is included in the bag of the Boltzen 150W led? Thanks for your time.
Wow! I have the Boltzen 55Ds and yours look way brighter. Hmm? Anyway, great video. How does the 150w Compare to the Aputure 120d?
Hi Caleb, can you do an update to this video for the new Q series from CAME-TV and whether it's worth the upgrade from the previous version. Thanks.
I can confirm the Q series is better! Also no power loss with 2 npf batteries. 40% brighter they claim. I just got the Q55 daylight and love it so far. Also the yoke locks
Great video! Curious if it's reasonable to expect a lower output from the bi-color versions of any of the lights vs the daylight only model. Thank you!
Hi. I'm torn now between getting a 100W or an Apurutre 120d. I like bicolor, and I can't find anything about gelling the Apurutre 120d. I already have a Apurutre Tri Panel, and want to stay in the family. But these CameTVs are pretty compelling. Which way would you go?

Color was BEAUTIFUL from the B-60S, but my main concern is that is does not spot enough. Will that become an issue for keying talking head or interview style shoots?
11:33 haha I love the punch ins on this one!!
\
Omg I just burst out laughing 👀🤣🤣🤣
Loving the "shitpost/meme" editing you are using hahaha keep it there!
and some picture setting for a6500, i bought the course you made, it's amazing, but need some tutorial for taking picture of that camera
very nice, I wonder how do these lights compared to Aputure lights?
I think after reading the previous comments, it seems the thing those of us considering these lights vs. the COBs is the BiColor option. I'm just getting started so I'll probably be getting a 100w bicolor. And that's even though I have an Apurture LED panel.
Great review 👍🏻
Excellent tutorial, I have a question if we compare came 55 to dlh 4 from dedo what do you think can we shape light with came 55 and get almost the same we get from dedo dlh 4, I am saying this because the price is affordable

I've almost decided to by boltzen 55, hope they'll work for me, sine i do a lot of product and roomset.

THANKS! How does the output quality and power compare to the Aputure versions including the 120d and 300d? I am still leaning toward the Rayzr7...
I just did a comparison with the 55w bi-colors. Uploaded to my channel.
cool will check it out now.
Great LED Fresnels but its a shame nobody can get them for love of money - F55S or B60S !
Great video thanks !!! comparing them to the 120d or 300d form aputure , specially the output ? is the 150w stronger than the 120 d ?
I just did a comparison with the 55w bi-colors. Uploaded to my channel.
Thanks ;)
Yep! The 150w is definitely brighter! Makes sense as it has 30 more watts over the 120.
When you say the 150w is brighter than the 120d, do you mean brighter than the 120d as it is shipped or with the fresnel attachment? Thanks in advance.
How would these lights handle lighting up a larger space, like an auto showroom or large greenscreen stage?
I love these lights!
What's the weight difference between the 55w and 60/100w? I can't find that info anywhere (EDIT Nevermind found it in a newshooter article! 60 watt fanless/100w fw/fan is 2.3kg (5.07lb))
superb. bro.. can u make a video about "best matt box under.... price range"
Damn when you turned on that 150W one you became an Apple Commercial
Thanks for all your work and time which you put in to your reviews. Is there any chance you could review Dracast.com light panels or fresnels? i would be interested in cinerary but any would be very helpful? And perhaps Litegear.com Litemat light later. Many thanks in advance.
How do these accept modifiers? Namely larger softboxes/deep domes like 36” and 48”? I saw Tom Antos review the smaller ones and said it couldn’t keep up with his Aputure light dome. What types of modifiers would you use for these? Would the larger of the fresnel fixtures be able to accept such larger modifiers?
Probably a stupid question....How would you compare the CAME-TV Boltzen F-150W Fanless 150W with the Godox UL150?
Were you able to test which ones can run off a single v-mount battery? On BH and adorama it states that some models require 24 volts DC (2 v mounts), but on Came-TV.com all lights are listed as having starting DC at 12. I want to buy one of these lights but they're product info doesn't make it very easy lol.
Thanks
The chart on CAME's site rates the output for the bi-color Botzens to be lower than their daylight counterparts. You mentioned you didn't notice any change in output?
Rusty Cockrell It’s hard to perceive the difference between 1000 lux when you’re dealing with 6000 lux total output unless you’re using a meter or doing a side by side. Light perception is tricky when the output gets up there.
i love them .. but do they fit with the aputure light dome soft box?
Hey Caleb,
Can you guide me in finding the brightest possible lights that are powered with NPF-70s? I noticed a few of these lights are battery powered. I would like to use lights on the go. Any help with this would be great. Thank you.
- Paul
These are gorgeous!
InstaBlaster
Just a question out of the blue. have you ever tried any fuji cameras? Do you have any insight? Thanks!
Thank's for great review. I've got one question. Is it possible to put on 150W version big bowens mount softbox (like 120cm size) with no problem? I've 55W version and only very light softbox is OK.
Can you or how to get a battery pack for the larger lights
Yep! You can use D-Tap to power the lights.
No CRI info?
Hi,
Which one you would personally prefer? Boltzen or Aputure 120d?
Thanks
Kitchen Live Studio Boltzen. It comes with the lens and is more powerful and is cheaper. No dopey hanging controller either. The lights are really about a 650w tungsten equivalent, so you’re not likely to boom the light super high where you’d need a separate controller. Listening to Ted from Aputure, he originally called the 120d a 1.5k tungsten equivalent. He got called out and now says he doesn’t like doing equivalencies. The only advantage I see with the Aputure is the included remote but Came has an optional WiFi dongle as well. But I don’t care about remotes because I’m used to lighting things the old way.
really good lights !
Hey Caleb, why is it that for the f55 and all other models in you video, the yoke has an umbrella holder, but the product photos don’t show the umbrella hole/holder?:(
Will the 60 work well if I shoot it through a cookie?
You look good with and without hair, had to be said :D Love your vids, keep it up.
Great video :) Do they have the same light output as the Apurture 120 or 300? What about the CRI, have you measured their values?
according to the website :
CRI/R9 96/90
TLCI 98
i could buy three of the small boltzen, two 30w and a 50w and have that as my whole light kit... Might dump the panels I have now, I am trying to be smaller and lighter.
How well does the 150 watt perform in pure daylight setting?
Eg: using the 150 watt as a key or rim/kicker light in an interview set outside under direct sunlight?
I am looking for a LED light to act similar to a 2000w blonde. Is that possible?
I'm looking for the cheap/low budget alternative for the Rotolight AEOS with the soft-box as on location light for portrait. Can you suggest something ?
Could you use the 55W version as a key light for interviews?
Hi. I know this is an older video, but I'm looking to buy these lights (the 55w) and I'm not sure if I should get the bi-color or the daylight one... Do you know if there's any power lost on the bi-color? I saw somewhere that since it had both colors, the daylight (or tungsten) is not as bright as the daylight 55w... Thanks!
