# Godox FL15Bi 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 FL15Bi

Our rating: 7.4 out of 10.

Best for: Lighting a face on a night walk, held or clipped to a strap.

The Godox FL15Bi is shaped like a torch and used like one: a bi-colour beam you hold or clip to a bag strap to light a face at night. It is the only light here with no USB-C desk mode, so it belongs in a bag rather than on a desk.

The beam is narrow, which is what you want at arm's length outdoors and not what you want on a desk. It is a new listing. Owners rate it 4.3 across its first 5 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.
