Battery-Powered Godox SL60W Killer? (Jinbei EF II 60 Review & Comparison)

In this video I review the Jinbei EF II 60 LED video light and compare it to other popular 60 watt lights like the Godox SL60W, Nanlite Forza 60, and Sokani X60.
The Jinbei EF II 60 is one of the only COB lights with built-in battery support, and the only light I know of that natively supports Sony NP-F batteries.
The Godox SLB60W is similar, but requires a proprietary battery, and costs more than twice as much. The Nanlite Forza 60 also has battery support, but requires a special adapter.
Surprisingly, the Jinbei EF II 60 is also brighter and more color accurate than the Godox SL60W and SLB60W, and renders colors better than the Nanlite Forza 60 and Sokani X60 as well.
So with superior brightness and color accuracy, along with native NP-F battery support, why would you choose something like the popular Godox SL60W instead of this alternative? There are a few downsides to this light, so watch the whole video to see if they might be a deal breaker for you.

EDIT: I have a Jinbei EF II 60 (with the EF-RC remote) for sale if you've been trying to get ahold of one. DM me on Instagram @newlayercom if you want it! People keep asking how long batteries last on this light, so instead of copying and pasting a reply each time, I'll put it here for reference. It depends since there are many capacities of NP-F batteries. I'd say NP-F750 are the most popular, and a pair of those would be 8800mAh. This light uses 60 watts at full power. To get watt/hours from mAh, you take 8800 and multiply it by the voltage of the batteries, which is 7.2, then divide by 1,000. (8800 x 7.2)/1000 = 63.36 watt hours of capacity in the batteries. Batteries are usually around 85% efficient, so take 63.36 x 0.85 and we get ~54 watt hours. Then you divide that by the wattage of the light at 100% (which is 60). 54 watt hours/60 watts = 0.9 hours or 54 minutes. If you used high capacity 7800mAh NP-F950 batteries, you'd get around 1.6 hours of use.

@NineSevenPictures 3 года назад

Thanks for this. Just one more question. It takes 2 batteries. When you say 54minutes you mean each or the both please.

@NewLayer 3 года назад

@@NineSevenPictures 54 minutes total, with both batteries. You cannot run this light with just 1 battery. Hope that helps.

@AllThingsFilm1 3 года назад

Very good review. The color accuracy and brightness are excellent selling points on their own. As far as soft boxes go, I've gone as far as throwing a t-shirt over the reflector to avoid setting up a soft box. Or you could even hang a shower curtain in front of the light to help soften it. The ability to use NP batteries on top of the light is also a very good feature. At the moment, I'm focusing on getting lenses. But, this is definitely a possible purchase in the near future.

Great review! I got this light when it first came out as I was looking for a more compact, lighter, battery powered light for accent and hair on a boom stand. I was stunned when it out powered my Godox SL60's which were kinda heavy for the task. Dual battery life is slightly over an hour. Outdoor shadow fill has been exceptional. Run and gun lighting has been taken to a new level with this baby, no wonder you can't easily find them online anymore.

If the build quality was a bit better, they’d hands down be the best I think. They won’t break unless you drop them, but they still have a budget feel. Great lights!!!

I have this light and it blows me away how good it is for the value! easily works great with my Aputure Lanturn. Still makes no sense how no other company has put npf batteries mounted to the light itself. planning on making a review. Dont hesitate on this light its the best COB 60watt budget Led light on the market!

@NewLayer 3 года назад

It's really a killer light for the price. I wish the build quality was better, but that's about it! The new Jinbei lights I have (that I'll review soon) have great build quality, so they've definitely stepped things up. The Godox ML60, Nanlite Forza 60, and Aputure 60d/60x all support NP-F batteries, but through a separate battery plate. The Came-TV Boltzen and a few other "spotlight" style lights also use NP-F, but nothing that's a full-fledged COB like this one. It's a shame they have been struggling to keep up with demand so much.

@akbarberlian 3 года назад

Hi man, thanks for in depth review about this product, super helpful. For someone who want more power, did you check the EF II 100 ? It looks like they have no battery mount? and most importantly, whats the additional Lux and CR/TLCI rating?

@NewLayer 3 года назад

You're welcome, thanks for checking it out. I haven't used the EF II 100, but I just got the EFII-200 and the EF-200Bi. The EF-200Bi has an XLR input for battery power via v-mount, but the EFII-200 does not. Sounds like the EFII-100 does not either. Usuaully, going from 60 to 100 watts will be about 1/3 to 1/2 stop greater brightness. I'll be reviewing the 200s as soon as I can.

@Kasilias 3 года назад

Super interesting to find video about this lamp because it seems like it's a OEM product and the exact same one is also sold under the name 'GlareOne 600D' in Poland for 25$ more than Godox.

@NewLayer 3 года назад

Interesting! I believe Jinbei is the direct manufacturer, but I’m not against rebrands. Godox/Flashpoint is a good example of when it works well!

@dwmspace 4 года назад

Great review and light! Also great tip on the softbox although I can’t find its availability. @4:13 was this an example of the yokes maximum angle adjustment? Because that is limiting. Also besides this, does it feel cheap and wobbly when adjusting like it could break? Lastly, does that reflector cut out for the umbrella pass through affect the even light spread when just using the reflector dish?

@NewLayer 4 года назад

Sorry I forgot the softbox link. I added that to the description: geni.us/laofas28 The angle adjustment goes way farther than that, I was just showing how the mechanism worked, which is just like the Godox SL60W. The reflector cut out does let a little light out, so you'd have to tape over it or something. That's a good point, although other lights have that cut out, you have to punch that piece out first, so if you don't use umbrellas, you have a fully closed reflector by default. Again, a super tiny thing, but worth knowing.

@dwmspace 4 года назад

New Layer great, thanks!

@JamesDBuzzard 3 года назад

Hey man! Serious great overview on this light. Came across this video on my search for the perfect budget bowens mount video light for under $200. Im looking to use this with a cheap fresnel modifier as a background light for interview and such. Do you think this is a good option or would you recommend something different for a backlight?

@NewLayer 3 года назад

Thanks, glad you liked it! This light is definitely bright enough for a background light since it's even bright enough as a key light in a softbox. The hardest thing about this light is finding one to buy! I've done a ton of other light reviews, so if you can't find one in stock anywhere, I'm sure one of the others would be a good fit. Perhaps a bi-color COB like the GVM G100W would fit your needs geni.us/gvmg100w It's normally $299 but I've seen it on sale closer to $200 a few times If you just need an inexpensive daylight COB, then the original SL60W is hard to beat for the price too geni.us/godoxsl60wled

@yuping683 4 года назад

Wow came in quick with this review. One question would be the reliability compared to traditional cob led lights with that new generation battery input. The Chinese usually share? technologies so it's easy to see which lights are similar. But this is a new one

@NewLayer 4 года назад

Glad you liked seeing it. And yes, Jinbei is new in the US, but I believe they've been around for a while in China and have great ratings on Alibaba/Aliexpress. Longevity is definitely a question though, but I also think most people buying budget lights like this don't use them enough to kill them before buying a new one :)

@chriskay3058 3 года назад

Seriously considered it after watching your review, but Amazon says they don't know if/when it will be available again. So, I went with the Godox SL60W. I'll have to use my Intefit Nomad battery pack when I travel outside the studio.

It’s a shame they are having trouble keeping up with production, but the SL60W is a staple for a reason 👍

@DuncanDimanche-sreview 4 года назад

awesome review !!! One of the best and straight to the point !! I have ONE question though: Does the fan noise lessens when you use the light at minimal power or does it stay on at full blast no matter the power output ?

@NewLayer 4 года назад

Thanks, glad you liked it! The fan speed on this light is constant, so it runs the same speed and has the same volume no matter what brightness it’s set to.

Greetings New Layer from New Zealand and thank you for a great review of this light , I was wondering how this light now compares to the godox ML60 .Here in NZ the ML60 is around $130NZD more than the Jinbei so I would be really keen to hear your thoughts on the two .Thanks heaps for taking the time to reply .

@NewLayer 3 года назад

I did a full review on the ML60 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GHiMqZ9oiQM.html It's smaller, better built, quieter fan, and comes with a case. It also has a battery grip rather than slots in the head for the batteries. Lastly, the ML60 is not a Bowens mount, so you'll need to use Godox mount modifiers (which are cheap, lightweight, and plentiful) or use the Godox S2 Bowens adapter. Hope that helps.

If you absolutely need the mic and light very, very close to each other, you would want a light that can run silently like the Godox SL150W II, Godox UL150, Godox ML60, Nanlite Forza 60, or something similar with a "fan off" feature. I have videos on all those lights on my channel.

Great review. If you had to choose between the Godox SL60W and the Jinbei EF II 60, which would you recommend and why? Thanks!

@NewLayer 4 года назад

It depends on your needs I'd say. If you NEED to use 36"-48" modifiers, you might want the Godox because the build quality is a bit better. The Jinbei EF II 60 can still handle 36" modifiers, I just don't know if you'd regularly want to use anything bigger. Apart from that, the Jinbei is superior in brightness, color accuracy, has a quieter fan, and of course has NP-F battery support, which is awesome. Once you can go cordless with your lights, it's extra annoying to go back. Those would be the deciding factors for me, and is why I recommended the 28" LAOFAS softbox for the Jinbei light. I think that's more than enough for many people. For example, all of my talking head videos are made with just a 24" softbox, so 24-36" is completely adequate for a lot of styles of video. Hope that helps :)

@GatesRick 3 года назад

OK, I picked up a couple of these lights to try out. I was hoping to use them as a bright outdoor source in shady or night time conditions. And they are bright enough. The problem is that all of my largest NP-F batteries (970s) can power these lights for no more than 3 minutes at 100% power. My batteries are decent cells, and one of them will power a CameTV Boltzen 55W spot for 45 minutes at 100%. I didn't try them at lower than 100% power because I'll need all of those 60W for my use outdoors. So back to Amazon they go. Your mileage may vary.

@NewLayer 3 года назад

Rick, something is very wrong if you're only getting 3 minutes at 100% power. All signs point to batteries if the same thing is happening with both Jinbei lights, so I would definitely borrow some other batteries for testing. NP-Fs (like all batteries) do have a lifespan, and I would suspect they are not producing high enough voltage any more, so will work with some lights, but not others. Even if they are new, there is a huge variation in battery quality, even from "higher end" brands, and some don't produce high enough amperage for something that is 60 watts. Manufacturers don't worry about it most of the time because it's very rare people use them for such powerful lights, so no harm no foul in those cases. But in your case... NP-F 970s are usually 6300mAh, so 2 are 12,600mAh. Multiply 12,600 x 7.4 volts and you have ~93Wh, meaning you should be able to power a 93 watt device for 1 hour (or a 60 watt device like this light for 1 hour and 33 minutes). Even if they are 7.2V, they'd be 90Wh. Let me know if you're able to test other batteries, because it's highly unlikely to be a problem with the lights.

@GatesRick 3 года назад

@@NewLayer , all good advice, except that one of these same batteries power my CameTV Boltzen 55W lights at full power for about 45 minutes. And I've tried multiple batteries.

@NewLayer 3 года назад

@@GatesRick That's part of what I was getting at. Your CameTV Boltzen lights might be happy using not only less wattage, but a lower voltage. Regardless of wattage, the Jinbei lights may be more picky about voltage/voltage droop once their capacity drops below a certain point, which would cause the issues you mentioned. That's my educated guess based on the fact that it happens with both Jinbei lights. You'd have to test the actually battery voltage etc to know for sure, which is definitely annoying. I have a bunch of GVM batteries, some of which came with lights, some I bought, but they've always worked in all my NP-F devices: geni.us/gvmnpf750 I also ran my Jinbei for ~45 minutes with two 750s before I turned it off myself .

Hi 👋 Can you recommend another softbox for this light ? I can’t find the loafas in Amazon . I would like at least a 90 cm softbox as you say that can be aprox the max size you can you is it with the light Many thanks I like your channel very helpfully

@NewLayer 3 года назад

I would HIGHLY recommend a collapsible beauty dish instead of a parabolic softbox. They are less deep, so less heavy overall, and less front heavy so they don't put as much pressure on the mount of the light. Since they're smaller they're also easier to handle. Glow makes some, as does Laofas. I would recommend one around 28-36" as a good all-around softbox. geni.us/glowbeautydish25white geni.us/glowbeautydish34silver geni.us/glowbeautydish42silver geni.us/laofasbeautydish60 geni.us/laofasbeautydish85 geni.us/laofasbeautydish105

It does change, but so does every other light. It's kind of a hidden thing no one talks about, but every reflector I've ever tested (which is a lot) change the light temperature a few hundred Kelvin or so.

I have an issue with this light. When powered by batteries, it doesn’t turn on. But if I plug it in the electric supply first, no problem, it turns on by batteries afterwards. Is it a normal behavior, or should I ask for a replaced/repair?

@NewLayer 2 года назад

I've heard this from a few other people. Apparently these lights are very picky about batteries, so if your batteries don't quite output 7.2-7.4V, they won't work. A lot of batteries output slightly lower voltage than they say, and most lights don't care, but this one does. Hope that helps.

New Layer that’s fine, Asking because the mentioned one isn’t available for me on Amazon or a Canadian Distributor. A tip for anyone looking for Jinbei lights but having trouble is go on Chinese wholesale sites like Alibaba and find the manufacturer on there who will direct you to a local distributor :) i was about to order straight from China but shipping was $92 USD and markup locally in QC, Canada was $39. Shipped 3-5 days so hopefully in time for a wedding this Sunday. Cheers and please drop a link if there is an EF-RC remote available in Canada. P.S. is a Yongnuo flash trigger or Aputure led panel trigger potentially usable with this?

Nice! Congrats on the purchase. Let me know how you like it when it arrives! The SLB60W never took off because it was so overpriced I think.

@ggrancharov 4 года назад

great review but mention battery life next time

@NewLayer 4 года назад

Thanks, glad you liked it. As far as battery life goes, here's my reply to someone else who asked about that: It depends on the batteries since there are many capacities of NP-F batteries. I'd say NP-F750 are the most popular, and a pair of those would be 8800mAh. This light uses 60 watts (give or take) at full power. To get watt/hours from mAh, you take 8800 and multiply it by the voltage of the batteries, which is 7.2, then divide by 1,000. (8800 x 7.2)/1000 = 63.36 watt hours of capacity in the batteries. Batteries are usually around 85% efficiency, so take 63.36 x 0.85 and we get ~54 watt hours. Then you divide that by the wattage of the light at 100% (which is 60). 54 watt hours/60 watts = 0.9 hours or 54 minutes. If you used high capacity 10,050mAh NP-F950 batteries, you'd get just over 2 hours at 100% brightness. I hope that helps :)
