This is a strobe light, not a constant light. It pumps out 600 watt seconds of power (which is more then the sun produces). You can use this light with the sun being *in the background* and it will overpower the sun and illuminate your subject (even with your aperture clamped all the way down). This is a solid deal for a battery powered strobe light; has a bowens mount for light modifiers. This is the main light I use for my company, and can recommend it to anyone looking to get into professional portraits and wedding photography. Well worth the price.
And yes, if you measure the amount of light landing on a subject with a light meter, these can provide more light than the sun can, at our location in space. This is a function of distance — yes the sun is brighter overall, but it's really far away.

I wish they made a 400 non-TTL. I don't want to pay for a feature I'd never use.

I honestly think the 300 is a better value than the 400....much lighter and not much less power. My 400 sits on the shelf while my 300s and 600s go get work done every day.

I bought all four of my 600's from them and everything was fine
These things are tanks, super reliable and good light

Also I think you mean the perceived brightness of the light is higher, I guarantee the total power output of the sun is higher than this light 😆
