I have recently tested the Amaran 150c RGBWW, Godox UL60, Neewer CB60, and the Amaran 100d.Here are my key takeaways from each light:Godox UL60 - Solid build quality (mostly metal), no carrying case, premium control unit, and very quiet. The Bowens mount does not have tight tolerances however, as any modifier feels very loose when clicked in.Neewer CB60 - Good build (mostly plastic), solid Bowens mount, excellent wireless controller, but the actual LED is not well covered and is square and not round. Light quality is average.Amaran 100d - Great light quality, good build (mostly plastic), good Bowens mount fit, and poor BT button quality.Now, here's my 1 week review of the Amaran 150c RGBWW.. EXCELLENT light quality and a nice circular LED that is well protected by a transparent enclosure housed within the metal Bowens mount. Versatile due to it being an RGBWW (never thought it would be so useful). The body is mainly of a high quality polycarbonate with metal in all the right places. The buttons are smooth to turn and feel solid. The BT button is better than that on the 100d but can also be improved (possibly with a rubber cap that will eliminate that rattle you get when pressed). The protective case is a high density foam that is more protection than you will ever need with such a light fixture. I attached an Aputure Light Dome SE and Amaran Light Dome Mini II and both locked in well and were a very snug fit. I am one to really challenge the manufacturers on build quality and I'm VERY satisfied with the AMARAN 150c, so much so that I did not return it. Currently being used as a key light for video, portrait light for still images, and as ambient light (using the full color spectrum) when needed. It's also silent in operation, and the charging unit and power cable is very long. The power cable connects using an XLR style tip that securely clicks into the light. Overall, I'm very happy with everything (with the exception of the slightly flimsy BT button) that came with the light. I'll be using it for a few YT videos and photo shoots in the next few weeks and will report back if anything changes.

A great light for the size and versatility of colors! Light enough to mount to a menace arm for some overhead work due to the plastic casing. Really works well for a lot of scenarios!

The versatility of this light is insane tbh. The fact you can get a phone controlled RGB light that has a good output at this price is so reassuring. I've used it so much I've lost track of how much I have. I do wish the output of the RGB was better. The kelvin range light is fantastic, but once you use the RGB is almost cuts the output in half. Which leads to frustration and/or immediately adding the 300c to your cart.

Very handy! The RGB addition makes this light universal and helpful for different shoots! It has a very easy to use app. It does not come with a stand so that might have to be a separate purchase but other than that very worth it!!!!!

I can't say enough nice things about this light. It's super easy to work with. Super easy set up. The storage case is great. It's a great value for the money. I LOVE it!

I use this on every single shoot. Really handy, easy and bright.
