Who doesn’t love a good, lightweight, handholdable, yet powerful-enough LED lighting option to consider for their run-and-gun projects? While it might not be an ideal solution for bigger projects or crews (but you never know), it is nice to see yet another portable LED lighting option hit the market, giving filmmakers, videographers, and content creators of all types another light to consider.
Let’s look at this new Ulanzi C01 100W Bi-Color COB LED Light with its Condenser Lens and see what it has to offer.

Just announced and set to be available from all retailers here soon, this new Ulanzi C01 is a 100W portable bi-color COB LED light that is set to deliver 14,500Lx brightness at 0.5m, which it promises will be pro-grade lighting.
The Ulanzi C01 appears to offer a nice mix of bells and whistles, with its bi-color capabilities and stepless dimming controls, making it adjustable from 2700K to 6500K with smooth brightness control (0–100%) for versatile lighting effects.
The C01 will also offer CRI 96+ true-to-life color and high color accuracy (CRI≥96, TLCI≥98), which should further ensure vibrant, natural hues in every shot. It will also provide an efficient cooling system with a hollow design, allowing a high-speed fan to cool it during prolonged use.
