Description

I've set up the two Godox SL-60W and can confirm the fan noise is quite loud ... 🙄
Even when turned off they still emit a low hummmm ... 🛩
The only way to completely avoid it is to turn off the mains. 🔌

I remember seeing this video while researching the lights:

My main concern is that it looks like at _least_ an hour of work to disassemble/reassemble ... ⏳

Also, one of the comments suggests that with the fan mod the light runs at a higher temp:

So it _might_ not be the best idea ... 🤔

Noctua NF-A8 ULN https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NEMGCRQ

Sold by Noctua (_the manufacturer_) which is a good sign.

Checked ebay (sorted by price ascending): (_not any cheaper..._)

So I think that _if_ order the fans, will do from Amazon.
