GVM RGB-20W Overview

The RGB20W RGB On-Camera LED Light from GVM is a compact on-camera variable color temperature light fixture that features cold shoe mounting and includes a tiltable cold shoe bracket. The light fixture features selectable CCT, HSI, and Scene modes. Featuring 162 LEDs, it has a CCT output from 2700 to 10,000K and a CRI of 97. It can produce the RGB spectrum with 360° and 0 to 100% saturation adjustment.

The CCT mode allows you to select your color temperature output with 0 to 100% stepless dimming, allowing you to use the light in a variety of environments from interior to exterior. HSI mode uses the RGB LEDs to provide you a full spectrum color output, so you can adjust the output from 0 to 360° on the RGB scale while adjusting brightness, as well as saturation from 0 to 100%. Scene mode allows you to access eight built-in special effects. A downloadable app allows you to control your fixture from your phone via Bluetooth. Power the light via the built-in L-series battery plate and included battery or using an optional AC power supply.

Operating Modes
RGB Color Mode
Scroll through the RGB color wheel in 1° increments. Dial-in nearly any color in the visible spectrum.
CCT Mode
The traditional correlated color temperature (CCT) mode allows you to accurately adjust your color temperature from 2700 to 10,000K.
Features
Intuitive On-Unit Interface with OLED Display
The built-in OLED screen offers a simple display, while push buttons and a single rotating knob provide local control of the fixture.
GVM LED App

Mounting
The fixture features a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the bottom and includes a tiltable cold shoe bracket that attaches to the rear of the unit by snapping into slots on the back.

Great Light Set - I Think

By James
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-08-13

I have to confess, I received these lights and set them up and my wife who is a professional artist immediately confiscated them for additional fill light for her studio. My response was yes dear, you can have them. Looks like I have to buy the set again. Happy wife etc.

Easy to use

On the question regarding an easy-on diffuser, the Angler Collapsible Softbox for 6x12" BH #ANLCSB1206 was recommended, but since this light does not have a frame, I don't think there is any way to attach the soft box--which I bought on this recommendation. Am I missing something in the directions?
Asked by: sister mary
The softbox would be able to mount on to the light, by strapping on with velcro straps that are on the rear of the softbox/

Is anyone able to control BOTH lights at the same time with the app? The manual shows there should be channels but my lights only connect 1 at a time via bluetooth with no channel options.
Asked by: Lionel
I have the same experience - I need to use the app to connect to one light at a time (and recognize which is which based on obscure names in the bluetooth device list)
