Zhiyun Molus B500 COB Video Light review: Zhiyun's most powerful light yet

Zhiyun Molus B500 light in a studio.

The Molus B500 is part of the Zhiyun Molus B range of studio lights which also includes the B100, the B200, and the B300. When given a choice of model to review we went for the B500 as it was the biggest and brightest COB (Chip-on-board) LED in the range, and thanks to its 500W of power it is capable of an eye-blinding 76400 LUX when you attach the supplied reflector to it! A light of this size, weight, and output is designed for studio work, so I tested it in a studio environment - see my supporting video in the Performance section. Indeed it may be too powerful for some photographers and videographer’s needs so it’s worth researching the less powerful versions in the Molus B range before making a purchasing decision.
