Correction: I had the light in DC mode. That's why it wouldn't turn off when I flicked the light switch off. In this mode it just switches over to battery power as I showed. This seems to be the default setting. If you choose to switch to AC mode, then it works like a normal light and turns off when you flick the lamp switch. Cheers! 🤓👍

Gerald Undone That may have been one of the most confusing explanation during a video in which I was multitasking while listening 😂

@Gerald Undone Once again great video is there a Canon c70 review coming up?🙏🙏🙏

@ThomasHaynes 3 года назад

I can only speak for myself, but I enjoyed the video. Variety is the spice of life. I've honestly been looking to see what a standard Philips LED build would look like on a set like yours. Now I know.

Don't remember if I've ever told you how much I like your vids. Always entertaining, chock full of info, and you're a trusted source. Hey Aputure: I've got four MC lights, inspired by Gerald. I use them all the time, and not just for my photo work. Handy buggers!

@Sky-wakka 3 года назад

I loved this video. It was hilarious. I was considering this for a key light because I have a soft box/stand that takes a normal light bulb. It might work if I use a fast lens? What would your suggestion be for a budget key light

@chr1staki 3 года назад

Had a nice little kitchen boogie with my Aputure MC last weekend 🕺

6:10 does your environment (walls, etc) and shirt would not mess the exact measurement of colour temperature?

@m.richards6947 2 года назад

So i can power this from a lamp and run it for extended periods, or is it going to have any problems like overheating?

@theaoitodo 3 года назад

Hey Gerald what do you think about new canon c70 is it worth buying for filmmakers or at this price we can buy a a7slll

@larryhaley3 3 года назад

Gerald Undone and aputure..... best of the best!

@marcdevinci893 3 года назад

I'm looking for a small LED light with remote control and colour selection. How does this compare to Aputure MC | Mini RGBWW LED Panel. Is that one more powerful? Or any other product you recommend I should check out?

@Richie5480 3 года назад

I have to say you have one of the best sound systems on RU-vid.

@treykeys2978 3 года назад

I like this style of video where it seems lighthearted and unscripted (because it is). We get to see a little more of Gerald’s personality.

@hazratgabriel 3 года назад

What was your camera setting during this test and what lens and aperture?

@EastonParkhurst 3 года назад

the non-scripted sort of videos come off a lot more personable. I LOVE IT

@sebastianbrenner 3 года назад

Hey gerald how are you bro. Im looking for a lens, for product studio video for my sony a7iii. What lens could you recomend please?

@burgunbeerd 3 года назад

how long is the life rated on these? could they be run as house lights for extended periods?

@ArielMartinez_dp 3 года назад

Great episode Gerald! I preordered mine, I’m just not crazy about how the lamp is only showing the top part illuminated. Obviously that’s because of the design of the bulb with less than half is actually the light.

@waynelast1685 3 года назад

4:27 why does the bulb go off and on again? Some safety setting it is it malfunctioning?

@regen1005 3 года назад

How do they compare to Astera’s bulbs? Any support for DMX !?

@NikHem343 3 года назад

This WAS very entertaining!

@JoshChristiane 3 года назад

I feel like the bulbs are just short of being useful due to their lack of power (lux output). You can barely see the bulb underneath the lamp shade, so I wouldn't buy them personally just based on that lack of power. But if they had been maybe twice as powerful I likely would have bought several of them. Hopefully they make a higher wattage version eventually.

@gaarax0x 3 года назад

True.. a bit pricey underpowered light!

@ambadilloimages 3 года назад

Lol I normally encourage SI over SAE units... but Im so used to footcandles to figure how I can use a light fixture on set! 100/100/2.8 makes it so easy to calculate what a fixture's output will translate to exposure settings :) That said, I'm grateful when reviewers meter lights at all! Tyvm

@fabvregregoire8620 3 года назад

Any advice for buying a good but affordable light meter ?

@keller2279 3 года назад

Dude, excellent channel and I'll definitely be picking up at least one of these. But we all already know no one is going to use them as a key light. Ha! These are going to be great little practical lights. Good overview, and looking forward to them being available. Will make my life much easier when I need to have a lamp in the shot.

@treyvollmerDP 3 года назад

Diggin the intro!

@Samrajphotograper 3 года назад

Hey Gerald why A7s3 has not yet approved by Netflix I know it is not capable for shooting in anamorphic but in other modes it is capable for Netflix I think do you have any thoughts about it...?

@DanielEarl 3 года назад

Next episode say: I'm Gerald Undone, and it's always noisy in Canada

@M0LLER75 3 года назад

I need some tips. 1. I often loose the connection to the lamp. Especially when I try to connect several light B7c light bulbs. Do you have goos tips to make this more stable? 2. When I have them in effekt mode like fireplace, it’s difficult to get out of the effekts when I got to “normal” mode...why? I had to reset everything and reconnect Bluetooth before I got it back to normal. Do you have any tips? 3. Color match, I love this feature but how to make it as accurate as possible? Especially when there is “ugly” light, as an example in a subway with old greenish light. Looking forward to get tips on this issues;-)

@damonmcguire4679 3 года назад

I think I liked this style a little more.... obviously preparation is important in your videos, and we appreciate you being thorough, but I did get a kick out of the 10:41 mark, and it just felt a little more like I was watching you film your video if that makes sense? Either way, keep giving me that in depth info!

@117god3 3 года назад

Would this be my only option for a flicker free practical?

@gilshlomo 3 года назад

Hey, Great video! Thank you! Can you maybe do one on Astera Nyx bulb?

@greasepit9801 2 года назад

Very well done!!

@teamtinyrelaxation6949 3 года назад

Great video, doing it on the fly

@HOETHAAU 11 месяцев назад

Via Bluetooth can a phone turn it on and off when it's not plugged in to power. I want to use it in a lamp that has no power available, but I want to turn it on via my phone and not the buttons on the light itself

@amcorockx 3 года назад

Looks great, can def think a lot of scenarios how to use these. Allthough I wish they had more output, so you light more with your practicals.

@Usualeclectic 3 года назад

This actually is a cool product...nice job 👍

@brownbrownsmash 3 года назад

I would love to see a comparison between these B7c bulbs and the Astera NYX bulbs. Great review, Keep up the good work. I would also love to see a review of any of the new Kinefinity Cameras.

@YoungBlaze 3 года назад

whats the lumins of this?

@fritsdebeerfilm 3 года назад

The fun part is very good. :). Keep it that way

@joelarvidsson 3 года назад

I will sure get one or two, but thought they were twice as strong. Maby your lampshade is very thick. What iso and fstop are youre camera at? For bare bulb im fine, but I expected it to be more visible in the lampshade. Anyway, love its feature set!

@Jambo1999 3 года назад

The idea with splitting the E-27 sockets. You can find fixtures that will hold 5-6 E27 bulbs in a softbox. I put large spiral daylight florescents in there, and they serve fine for a key light. These last a long time, but if I cannot replace them, its nice to see LEDs being made with E27 bases,

@TechVdot8 3 года назад

I'm all about the nerdism in this video - I'm having fun

@sullytaylor4469 3 года назад

I wonder if 7w is the LED array rating, and the 12w draw is LED array at full plus battery charging.

@rashedalpha 3 года назад

Hahah, lots of fun energy in this one. Had a great time watching it. Yess, would love to see more of the “unscripted” videos 😂👏🏻 Love your content. Looking forward for your next one 👏🏻

@ScottWilder 3 года назад

Would have been interesting to see how much you need to jack the iso to get a useful key light range.

@playeronthebeat 3 года назад

I'd like to see a comparison to the Philips Hue light bulbs etc. I'm using the Hue ones for most of my lighting situations and accent light's as I've already got them and the system in my house. Pretty nice video as always! :D

@rockybproduction9038 3 года назад

Looks good for practical lighting

@BrentStrition 3 года назад

Intro music plays. Hits like button

@marco.trerotola.filmmaker 2 года назад

Thanks for the test, but with the flare of the brown table I think it's not a great idea to measure the color temperature.

@gideonhenwick7343 3 года назад

I am curious how they compare to the multicolour more powerful 10w Philips bulbs or the even more powerful 11w original wifi multicoloured bulb the Lifx which are almost comparable in price.

@rickyang9930 3 года назад

Amazing product for practical light!!!!!!!!

@CeJayiZSicK 3 года назад

I would like to see a comparison with a Hue RGB bulb for accent lighting. Is it worth spending twice as much if the only use is colored light? From my understanding of LEDs while there's a huge difference between cheap and expensive white lights (CRI) the same doesn't apply to colored light.

@FTGTapGod 3 года назад

I need to pick one of these up to test against the LIFX bulbs. I find LIFX makes the best consumer smart bulbs (much better than Philips) in terms of brightness and color. Just not sure how the color accuracy is on them. Would be great to see someone like you test them with a meter against the Aputure bulbs.

@AshwinRamdin 3 года назад

Never been this fast on this mans videos.

@arisaperstein6947 3 года назад

I want this light! It will help for zooms and streaming.

@teoweyman3583 3 года назад

Great video! I’m still torn however between these and the NYX bulbs. I really hate the angle of the Apurture B7c as they don’t spill to the sides like a real practical should. I think this is the biggest issue I’m seeing. The Astera NYX look way better as a practical but you have to then buy an Astera box to control them via the Astera app so they get much more expensive..

@retlwiz 3 года назад

The actual bulb part is very small, so when you use it as a practical bulb replacement it doesn’t shine downwards, like a normal bulb would. You could see this on your demo. I’ve used another brand for a while now, and while it probably isn’t too colour accurate it’s good enough and it does look like a lightbulb when in a light fixture. The brand is Auraglow. No batteries, but full RGB and works with an app.

@ShaneBethlehem 3 года назад

ಠ_ಠ was the best segment in any video you have made, friggin hilarious. I'm in the same boat with the a7s iii, dunno why it's so hard to get them in Canada

@victormultanen1981 3 года назад

I watched this video with sound off, and enjoyed every minute of art.

@bob76451 3 года назад

At 5:00 when you rotate the bulb to test on-axis brightness, you actually move the bulb so that it is a few inches closer to the light meter. That might account for the slight discrepancy.

@mattwruff 3 года назад

I like the un-scripted Gerald! much more entertaining! I have the nicer HUE lights I would have like them compared to but I have order 2 because at my desk I use two hue light there and then I use several Aputure lights when filming so It would be nice to get everything to Aputure to go with my 300X and 300p and 4 MC's.
