Also, Flashpoint being Adorama's brand name means they actually cover it under warranty, vs Godox offering no actual warranty (good luck ever getting anyone in China to reply to you!)
The Godox brand is meant to manufacture equipment, and it's more like the auto industry - the dealer is the one who provides the warranty and service, not the equipment manufacturer.
But hey, what would I know, as a busy and respected professional in the industry that actually USES the equipment. 🤷🏼 ♂️

I now have a Amaran 200d that has been an absolute workhorse and ran me $300. It's 65,000 LUX and paired with a decent diffuser has made interviews and product lighting dead simple. Just my two cents for people looking.
Here's what I got:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1 [amazon.com]
The VL line really shines in having the control and power unit separate the body, which allows exchanging the power adapter for V-mount batteries. No more messing with wires when moving lights and gaffing them to the floor on set.
The UL line functions like VL but does away with fans and just passively cools itself via a larger heat sink and body. This is great for shots that need silence and high light output. The SL II and VL options are silent enough for me and their fans can be turned off at lower outputs.
The Amaran line is also great. The 200d's output actually exceeds the Apurture 300d mk2. I would avoid buying a used Amaran though because their first 200d distribution on release had bad fans and they've made some minor build improvements. I love Amaran's new 60D and 60X models for their compact size and ability to take V-mount and NPF batteries. The Apurture LS 60D is also a great buy with equivalent output of a 150w COB light (albeit outputs a smaller surface area) and combined with their exclusive spotlight mount makes it really versatile for its size and price (compared to a 150w light anyway)
My biggest caveat with Amaran line is that their build is not as strong as Godox gen 2 or Apurture (to be expected). Their plastic handles and stand mount has me exclusively using these lights for simple studios, gentler setups, or personal use. Heavy light modifiers will need to be supported separately to a c stand via matthellini clamp (especially for the 60D and 60X). For a hobbyist or starting youtuber, they might be overspending on a stronger stand and clamp to support their heavy diffusion needs versus just buying a light with a stronger mount/body and a standard light stand. Not to say this is a bad thing because a good c stand and clamp go a long way and are good investments in my opinion.
