Hi,
I plan to buy a Godox SLB-60W.

I plan to shoot in appartment with 1-2 lights, in dark places, sometimes with available light from the sun.

1st question: I was wondering if i should choose the daylight version or the thungsten version. What would you choose for video ?

2nd question : i was wondering if you would choose the battery version (its 350$) instead of the non-battery version which is 150$. its double price

Thanks in advance for any feedback
Have a good day

Do you shoot interviews and dialog? I keep seeing reviews of these that mention how stupidly loud the fan is. Is that a factor for your work?

yes it could be problematic

I'd think twice then, overall, sound is much more important than picture for most projects (Wow, a cinematographer saying that!)

I just reviewed a new LED soft panel that isn't out yet and it has a fan but a VERY good one. In my small office, with it cranked up all of the way with full output, I couldn't hear the fan from more than 4" away. But this light costs ten times what the 200W Godox lights cost. Eventually the good fan/cooling technology will filter down to the cheap Chinese lights, it just takes a few years. My Aputures Lightstorm LS-1S are $700.00 lights and they are passively cooled, no fan and make zero noise.
