NEW SMALLRIG RC 100B BI-COLOR COB LED VIDEO LIGHT PUTS THE POWER IN YOUR HAND



By Pete Tomkies
Image courtesy: SmallRig

At the recent IBC 2024 show, SmallRig announced its latest video light. The
SmallRig RC 100B COB LED bi-color light is available in both a standard version
and a mobile version.


STANDARD OR MOBILE

The SmallRig RC 100B COB LED video light comes in two configurations: standard
or mobile. The lamp head is the same in both versions but the mounting options
change. With the standard unit, the base of the light is a traditional light
stand adaptor. However, the mobile version of the RC100B replaces that with a
grip handle designed for handheld use.


COMPACT DESIGN

The RC 100B COB LED video light has a compact cube-shaped design. It measures
only 4.5 inches (115 mm) by 3.7 inches (95 mm) by 3.7 inches (95 mm) and weighs
under 25 ounces (700 g). You also get control knobs for CCT and intensity as
well as a small display screen. In addition, the back of the lamp head has a
built-in V-mount plate for power. With the mobile version, you also get a
battery adaptor plate for use with NP-F 970 batteries.




BI-COLOR

The RC 100B COB LED video light is a bi-color light with a CCT range from 2700K
to 6500K. Color accuracy is also very high with a CRI of 97+ and TLCI of 98+.
Despite its small size, SmallRig says that the RC 100B is 20% brighter compared
to standard 100 W fill lights. At 1 meter, the light can output 4610 lux when
set to 5600K. If you add the 45-degree mini reflector, that jumps up to 20100
lux.


POWER OPTIONS

You can power the RC 100B COB LED video light with a V-mount battery via the
built-in V-mount plate. Alternatively, with the mobile version, you can use two
NP-F970 batteries although this does restrict the light to 60% of its maximum
power. The light also has a USB-C port with up to 110W input so you can use PD
100W power banks or PD 140W chargers. SmallRig does make a mains power adaptor,
but this is an optional extra. Out of the box, you can only use battery power.


OTHER FEATURES

As well as the onboard controls, you can operate the RC 100B COB LED video light
remotely via the SmallGoGo app. The light also offers wired remote control via
DMX. There is a cooling fan in the RC 100B but SmallRig says that this only
emits 26 dB of noise even at full power so it shouldn’t be an issue in most
scenarios. In addition, the light features a standard Bowens mount so you can
use a wide range of modifiers from SmallRig and third parties. The RC 100B has
nine built-in lighting effects including paparazzi, television, faulty bulb,
lightning, and flame.

POWER HANDLE

SmallRig has designed an optional Power Handle for the RC 100B COB LED video
light. This replaces the light stand or handheld handle on the light.  The Power
Handle has a built-in V-mount plate on the base of its handle. With a battery
connected, it looks a little like the handle of a power drill. The Power Handle
supports up to 100W USB-C PD output and a maximum 10A D-Tap output. SmallRig
says it will deliver around 45 minutes of full power output for RC 100B.


WHAT WE THINK

SmallRig’s new RC 100B COB LED bi-color video light is a handy fixture to have
in your lighting arsenal. It’s small enough that it won’t add too much to your
kit bag to carry around. However, it still packs enough output to be a useful
fill source. You could also use the RC100B as a key light if you keep it close
to your subject and just off-camera. In addition, the handheld options for the
RC 100B make it particularly versatile for run-and-gun style shooting. If you
need a small light or want good battery power options, the SmallRig RC 100B
should be on your shortlist.


PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

The standard version of the SmallRig RC 100B COB LED video light costs $230.
This comes with a mini reflector, a light stand adapter, a silicone diffuser and
a USB-C cable. Alternatively, the mobile version of the light retails at $200
and comes with a mini reflector, a grip handle and the NP-F 970 battery plate.
The lights are available now and SmallRig says the Power Handle accessory is
coming soon.
