Dual Colour Temperature
Switch between 3300K tungsten and 6500K daylight to match your surroundings or create mood. Having this flexibility in a single unit makes it easy to blend with existing lighting or create contrast for visual effect.
Noise-Free Operation
The smart-passive cooling system keeps the light cool without using fans, so it's completely silent. This is ideal for video work where clean audio is a must, such as interviews or dialogue scenes.
Flexible Mounting Options
Use it handheld for fast changes or mount it to a standard light stand via 1/4" threads on either end. You can even connect multiple LC500s together to create a light bar or ringlight-style setup with the right adapters.
Compact and Travel-Friendly
The slim, wand-style design means you can light tight corners or awkward spaces traditional panels can't reach. It's compact enough to fit in your suitcase or camera bag, making it ideal for location work.
Power Anywhere
The built-in battery gives you around 60 minutes of run time and charges in about 2.5 hours. If you're near a plug, you can use it continuously while charging with the AC adapter.
Wireless Control
The LC500 features an integrated 2.4GHz receiver, making it compatible with a separately available Godox remote. This lets you adjust power and settings remotely – especially handy when the light is mounted out of reach.
