# Godox EazyFlow Rect 40 Softbox vs Godox ML40R

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 ML40R

Our rating: 8.1 out of 10.

Best for: The same key light with full RGB for the day it points at the wall.

The Godox ML40R is the ML40Bi with full colour. Same body, same battery, same USB-C, same app; the difference is an RGB mode with saturation control and a set of effects, so it can be a key light on Monday and a coloured background light on Tuesday.

As a key it performs the same as the Bi. As a background light it is small, so it colours a patch of wall rather than a whole room; for a wall, the LC500R tube spreads further. Buy the R only if the light will change jobs.

Owners rate it 5.0 across its first 4 reviews, which is to say it is new.
