GVM SD300D Bi-Color COB LED Video Light vs Aputure LS C300D Mk II

So I was kindly provided a review sample from GVM to test their newly released Kelvin Adjustable (2300K-7500K) 300W LED video light, model # SD300D https://bhpho.to/3kkTP9o

I received the light and immediately started my unboxing and first impression video process while comparing its performance to the higher-priced Aputure LS C300D Mark II.

During the testing, the light shut itself off due to overheating shortly after turned on… I was not able to do any further comparison videos besides a 50% power output test and a 100% power output test between two lights.

I contacted GVM, and they told me to try to fix the fan problem myself, and due to supply issues in China from the shutdown and the lockdown, they don’t even have a replacement fan available.

I’m going to attempt a repair on this video light and will post a follow-up video of my attempt at making this light’s active cooling fan work again on the unit.
