Product Description
The Godox SL60W is a 60-watt LED video light that brings professional-quality continuous lighting within reach of content creators, videographers, and photographers who demand consistent, colour-accurate illumination. This daylight-balanced monolight combines robust output with precise control, featuring a 5600K colour temperature that matches natural daylight perfectly. The Bowens mount compatibility means you can shape and modify the light using an extensive range of softboxes, reflectors, grids, and other accessories, making it adaptable to virtually any shooting scenario.
This light is ideal for YouTubers, indie filmmakers, product photographers, and anyone who needs reliable continuous lighting for video work or still photography. Whether you're filming interviews, creating product demonstrations, shooting streaming content, or working on narrative projects, the SL60W provides the power and control you need. It's particularly well-suited for those stepping up from basic LED panels or photographers adding video capabilities to their skillset.
Many continuous lights struggle with critical issues that disrupt creative work - insufficient brightness for larger setups, colour casts that create post-production headaches, overheating that forces frustrating breaks, or proprietary mounts that limit modifier options. Budget lights often lack the colour accuracy needed for professional results, whilst powerful lights can generate excessive heat and noise that interfere with audio recording.
The SL60W addresses these challenges comprehensively. Its 60-watt COB (chip-on-board) LED provides ample output for small to medium-sized spaces whilst maintaining a CRI rating above 95, ensuring that colours are rendered accurately and naturally. The dimmable output ranges from 10% to 100%, giving you fine control over intensity without resorting to adding diffusion or moving the light constantly. The integrated quiet cooling fan manages heat efficiently, preventing thermal shutdown during extended takes whilst remaining unobtrusive enough for most sound recording situations. The standard Bowens mount opens up a vast ecosystem of light modifiers, and crucially, this model includes an umbrella holder - a practical feature omitted from the newer SL60II model. Powered by mains electricity, you get consistent performance without worrying about battery life or power drops mid-shoot.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Allow the cooling fan to run for a minute or two after dimming down or switching off to help dissipate residual heat
✓ Use the included lamp cover when transporting or storing the light to protect the LED from dust and accidental impacts
✓ Experiment with different Bowens-mount modifiers to discover the versatility of this light - softboxes, beauty dishes, and snoots all transform its character
✓ Position the light where air can circulate freely around the fan vents for optimal cooling performance
✓ Keep a spare power cord in your kit bag - they're standard and inexpensive but being without one means no shoot
✗ Don't block the cooling fan vents with fabric or other materials, even when using modifiers - airflow is essential
✗ Don't unplug the unit immediately after use at full power - let the fan complete its cooling cycle first
✗ Don't expect this 60W light to overpower strong sunlight outdoors - it's designed for controlled indoor environments and carefully managed outdoor settings
✗ Don't forget to secure modifiers properly to the Bowens mount - a loose softbox can shift during a shoot and ruin your lighting consistency
✗ Don't rely solely on the onboard dimming for exposure control - learn to use distance and modifiers for more nuanced lighting techniques
