Godox SL60IID
A beginner-tier daylight Bowens COB billed as the cheapest credible way into the Bowens modifier ecosystem, with app control and 70W output. It's an ideal first light for creators who want modifier compatibility on a budget. The roughly 60W class isn't built for lighting large rooms, and if you need bi-color the SL60IIBi variant covers that.
