# Godox EazyFlow Rect 40 Softbox vs Godox ML40Bi

Both are picks from our guide: Best Godox Video Lights for Streaming and Vlogging: ML40Bi, ML40R, FL15Bi, LC500R and the EazyFlow Softboxes (https://omorp.com/guides/lighting/best-godox-video-lights).

## Godox EazyFlow Rect 40 Softbox

Our rating: 7.6 out of 10.

Best for: Softening a Bowens-mount COB at desk distance.

The Godox EazyFlow Rect 40 is a square softbox that pops open in seconds and mounts on a Bowens ring. At a desk distance it turns a hard COB into a soft, flattering key, which is the single biggest improvement a light can get.

It fits Godox's studio COBs and most Aputure and Amaran heads. It does not fit the ML40 without Godox's Bowens adapter. Owners rate it 4.3 across its first 14 reviews.

## Godox ML40Bi

Our rating: 8.1 out of 10.

Best for: A key light for a desk or a bag: bi-colour, battery and USB-C, app control.

The Godox ML40Bi is the light to buy if a stream or a vlog needs one light. It is a compact COB with a built-in battery for a bag and a USB-C port for a desk, so the same light does both jobs. Colour temperature runs 2800 to 6500 K, which covers a face in any room, and the Godox app sets brightness and colour from a phone.

A metre from a face with the diffuser dome on, it reads as a proper key on a webcam and lifts a phone camera out of grain. Bare, it is hard light; budget for a small softbox or use the dome.

It is a new listing with a handful of ratings; the ML series before it has years of them. The mount is Godox's small ML ring, not Bowens, so a softbox needs the adapter. Owners rate it 5.0 across its first 6 reviews.
