Godox Litemons LA150 Review

Godox has decided to revamp and rebrand their budget LED moonlight lineup with some incredibly compact offerings under the new name Litemons. Do they live up to their reputation for bang for the buck, or do they cut too many corners? Let's find out! We'll also be closely comparing it with the strangely similar Smallrig RC120 series.

Thanks for the your time and effort put into this very detailed video! it helps many including me. great work

[hecjvaldez]

Thanks!! I was looking for a review for this light. This is really useful!!

Watched both videos and leaving toward the small rig 120d. Case and the fact you can run batteries is good for me.

I have the exact same power switch issue a week into using it, I removed the cover and see it's soldered to the circuit board and hot glued to the cover on the other side. Before I try to replace the switch, I thought I give the switch a few good taps with the 2.5mm allen key I used to remove the cover. To my surprise, it's back working like new again lol.

I was waiting this review. Thanks Wes for a detail review and comparison with the SM RC120. Both has pros and cons. For me the Output and arm bracket it’s very good elements on the Godox but no V- battery option it’s disappointed for me. Meanwhile the arm bracket durability of the Smallrig it’s questionable the option of V-battery and less fan noise it’s a plus. It’s a complicated decision here which one it’s better to buy.

I bought this light yesterday, I hope it doesn’t have the same problem yet 🤦🏻‍♀️

[RM.TokyoPhotographer]

thanks for a great video....Would the Amaran 100/200 be the better buy over the Godox Litemon series...since the cable loooks large...power ac

Question : How would you power that light in the field ? I guess you can take 4 12V bateries connect them in series and get 48V, that would be very simple to construct, solder some wires ... but Charging ...hmmm.. so my question stands, how do you run it at field

[ericgrayphoto]

I don’t know how 42 dB sounds but it did seem like you could hear the Litemons fan when you leaned into it. I think you mentioned the SmallRig was maybe 38 dB. Is it audibly a big difference? Would you say the Godox Litemons would still be okay for interviews near a mic?

[sentoares]

Hi! Is there a difference in light power between SL 150 and La 150?

[ericgrayphoto]

Hey. You mentioned the arm locks down well. What is the largest size softbox you’d feel comfortable using on it?

[rsmolkin]

So when would you pick the SL150 over this LA150?

[Promikes]

looks like you forgot about Amarans :)))

[bobmusikk]

Would you still recommend this light today? as Oct. 2022

[OngWeeKiat]

How does this compare against SL150ii?

[jhon]

How does these compare with the Godox VL150?

[lythnork]

Which one do you think is better rc120 or litemons 150?

[oliviertorres]

Thank you Wes. Probably my next light...when available. Out of stock everywhere 😩
