Over the past few weeks I've been testing out a pair of the MOLUS G300 Lights.
Aside from being smaller than most other 300W COB LEDS they have a trick up their sleeve in the form of the MAX mode. Which takes the output from 300W to 500W, at the optimum white balance around 4500K.

This has been one of the most enjoyable lights I've used in a while, and I think this is a trend that I've noticed with the products from Zhiyun. I've used plenty of more powerful/expensive lights, but the joy of having smaller kit is something that I hadn't anticipated.

There are draw backs to such a small form factor combined with the option of this much power, the fans need to spin up quite high in MAX mode to keep the operating temperature down. Having said that in most of the 'normal' day to day settings I haven't had to push them anywhere near this.
But if you are aiming for 100% in max mode for an interview in a room competing with direct hard sunlight then you should be aware of this as it may impact you audio.
However within the context of a 300W light which is after all what it is things generally stay farm more subdued.
And you can hear in the project with the Opera Singer that there was no issue with sound when used in that context.

Overall I've been very impressed with the lights and will certainly be continuing to use them on projects, so stay tuned to this channel to see how those come out as well!
