Smaller Studio Lights > VILTROX VL-500T

Last year I bought a pair of Godox SL-60W LED studio lights #3 and they are _really_ good.
I've used them in a few videos and in the _temporary_ setup in the studio.
The **Godox SL-60W** have **3** (fairly major) **issues** with them when it comes to using them in a **_small_ space**:
1. **Fans** are **_very_ loud**. The fan automatically & immediately comes on even if the brightness is low. And it's very audible if it's near to the microphone. IMO this is a deal-breaker in a small studio setup. I looked into replacing the fans with silent ones #19 but it's €35 for a pair of replacement fans and at _least_ 1h of very fiddly work to disassemble/reassemble. I think I prefer to keep them "original" and use them for situations where the light is far enough from the subject/microphone.
2. **Size!** With the soft box attached, the SL-60W are very large. It feels like they are occupying half the room (_in the small studio_). I would have preferred it if they were _much_ smaller. Again their size is not an issue in a larger room/studio. My goal is to attach the lights to the Sit/Stand Desk (_which is on casters_) and be able to move the whole setup around to easily change the background from Green Screen to White
3. **_Too_ Bright** the lowest brightness is **10%** and it's still too much at 1 meter. These output **4500 Lumens** at 1M so even at 10%, having a pair of them on it still 900 lumens on your face (450 lumens x 2).

Thinking of getting a pair of these and fixing them to my standing desk so they move with the desk.
