led light cob without multiple shadows

Has anyone used the 150, looks like it could be the sweet spot in punch vs potential over heating. Also a good amount cheaper than the 200.

If you are looking at the 300d, bear in mind that this light fails because of heat issues. If the lamp is angled at 45 degrees or more and at 100% it will fail. So if you need a lamp with those rather simple abilities I would avoid Aputure like the plague. They are completely aware of the issue and offer no fix other than a vague promise about a fix someday...

Good to know! Thank you

Caveat Emptor

strange peace of information. If only one unit failed this way, It doesn't mean much. And why 45° is relevant, how do you came up to this conclusion?

Btw, I shoot 45 deg almost all the time with this light, haven't noticed anything unusual.

I found what he meant in the last comments of this topic:

It seems he refers to V-mount battery when used more than 90% power. Not a hardware light failure, but a "save the lamp for too much heat".
