Here‘s a problem that every solo creator knows too well.You’re shooting a vlog on location. The available light is flat and unflattering. You reach into your bag for your lighting setup — and realize you left it at home because it was too bulky to carry alongside your camera, lenses, and audio gear.
Or you‘re filming a product close-up on your desk. You need just a touch of fill light to eliminate a harsh shadow. But your only option is a 300W studio light that’s overkill for the job.
The GVM CL100B was built for exactly these moments. It‘s a 100W COB light that weighs just 0.36 kg — about the same as a small mirrorless camera body — and fits in your pocket. Yet it delivers professional-grade output that rivals fixtures three times its size.

100W of Professional Output in a Palm–Sized Body
The CL100B delivers 18,500 lux at 1 meter with the included reflector, and 4,270 lux bare bulb. That’s enough output to serve as a key light for close-up interviews, a fill light for product shots, or the primary source for vlogging and live streaming.
Com CRI/TLCI de 97+ and a 2700K–6800K bi–color range, skin tones look natural straight out of camera — no green tint, no color correction headaches in post.
And despite its tiny frame, the CL100B uses the Mini GVM mount (compatible with Bowens adapters), so you can attach professional modifiers like soft domes and reflectors.
Three Ways to Power It: The Flexibility That Changes Everything
Most compact lights lock you into a single power source. The CL100B gives you three:
| Fonte de Energia | Melhor para |
| DC Adapter (included) | Studio and desk setups with wall power |
| NP–F Battery (sold separately) | Handheld and location shooting |
| USB–C PD Fast Charging | Power banks for extended on-the-go runtime |
That USB–C PD port is the standout. You can plug the CL100B into a power bank and keep shooting for hours — no wall outlet, no proprietary battery system, no extra charger to pack. It’s a compact LED light that fits into the ecosystem of gear you already carry.
Real–World Scenarios: Where the CL100B Shines
Vlogging and YouTube: Mount it on your camera’s cold shoe (adapter included) or on the included desktop tripod. The on–camera light for vlogging setup is ready in seconds, and the quiet fan mode ensures clean audio.
Product photography: Place it on the desktop tripod, attach the silicone light dome, and you have soft, even light for close-ups and tabletop work. The 2700K–6800K range matches any ambient light.
Live streaming: Plug it into a USB-C power bank and mount it on a stand. The 12 light source presets let you dial in the perfect look for your stream — tungsten for cozy evening vibes, daylight for crisp professional appearance.
Interviews: A silent fan mode reduces noise below 30 dB, making the CL100B suitable for sound-sensitive productions. Pair it with a softbox or dome for flattering, natural-looking key light.
Smart Controls That Save Time
The CL100B offers dual control:
- Onboard: LCD screen and rotary knob for quick manual adjustments
- GVM App: Bluetooth Mesh networking for group control up to 50 meters
A Mesh networking is a standout for multi-light setups. You can synchronize multiple CL100B units — or other compatible GVM lights — from a single app, adjusting color temperature and brightness across your entire setup without walking from stand to stand.
