✅ Strengths

Stable Brightness Output

Colour Rendering
→ TM-30 Rg > 105: Natural-looking, slightly saturated colours
Compact & Portable
→ Weighs only 235 g
→ Powered via USB-C

⚠️ Weaknesses

Poor Red Rendering (R9)
→ Only 43 at 5500K/6500K – critical for skin tones & red elements
Moderate SSI Values
→ SSI of 70 at 5500K – not suitable for cinema-grade colour work
CCT Deviation
→ 17.75 MK-1 at 3200K – significantly warmer than target

📉 Practical Implications

Best suited for:
→ Content creators: TikTok, YouTube, livestreaming
Not suited for:
→ Professional studio work: weak R9 and limited colour fidelity

🔧 Conclusion

The Ulanzi VL110 is a compact, beginner-friendly light that shines with portability and effect variety.
However, its weak red rendering and moderate SSI make it less suitable for high-end productions.
A solid choice for low-budget setups, but not for professional colour-critical work.
