A lot of the reason why I stay away from bicolor lights, is the power output that you pointed. The bulbs are mixed together, so half of the bulbs, go towards the color, and the other half go towards the white light. That is usually the case. Other than that, this is a comprehensive video, should I ever entertain such powerful lights, will definitely have to revisit this.

[@JoATTech]

Yep, although for some reason GVM advertise their 650B as capable of 21600 lux :D.
I guess their customer base does not have light meters, cause when you check the reviews on their page customers cite GVM numbers there but they actually never measured their lights :D.
14000 lux is still quite powerful but 22000 is definitely more :D.

[@Vitaphone]

Where is this gaffer and gear review you speak of? Been waiting for a review from Andrew but haven’t seen it anywhere?

[@JoATTech]

I mention Andrew's results for Forza 720B and Aputure 600X. I will link them in the description.
GVM haven't send anything to Andrew cause their customers are just prosumers, not professional gaffers.
Although maybe their new 1200 series are good enough and they will be brave enough to send it to him :D.

[@Vitaphone]

@@JoATTech ok thanks, i was confused as i thought you meant Andrew reviewed the GVM.

[@JoATTech]

Nah, I even asked Andrew about it under some of his newest videos, and he's response suggested he does not even know what GVM is :D
