In this video I review and compare the Jinbei EF-200Bi and EFII-200 to see if they are worthy successors to the popular EFII-60.

The EFII-60 is one of the best budget LED lights because of it's low price and native support for NP-F batteries, but suffers from battery compatibility issues and below average build quality.

The new EFII-200 and EF-200Bi are very well built, bright, and even include a fan off mode to run completely silently. The daylight only EFII-200 does not support batteries at all, but the EF-200Bi can be used with one or two v-mount batteries, either directly with a D-tap cable, or with the Jinbei EF-VM dual battery box.

These lights are not made by one of the big name brands like Godox, Aputure (Amaran), or Nanlite, but they are a legitimate contender if the price is right.
