BRIGHT IDEAS
Godox has announced two high- output LED panel lights, the £2878/ $2399 Knowled P600R Hard P4 and the £4790/$3890 P1200R Hard P8. Delivering 600 and 1200W of power respectively, these new fixtures are designed to combine intense output with advanced colour control and fast, flexible light shaping. Both panels offer up to 161,000 lux at 1m with 5600K and a 55° beam angle, providing enough punch for large stages, outdoor shoots and studio environments. A built-in adjustable diffusion system allows for a speedy switch between hard, directional output and a softer look without changing or adding external GLOW BIG OR GO HOME
modifiers. The adjustable diffusion system is not available in the US. Multi-zone pixel control is a key feature, with four zones on the P600R and eight zones on the P1200R. This enables detailed pixel mapping, dynamic lighting effects and animated patterns directly from the panel. Colour performance is also a priority, with CRI R9 ≥92 and TM-30 RF ≥95 for accurate skin tones and consistent results in post. Both fixtures are IP65 rated and support CRMX, DMX, Ethernet, on-board and app-based control, making them suitable for fixed installations and mobile production. godox.com
NEEWER KID ON THE BLOCK
If you want a compact, full-colour COB LED made to deliver serious output, then check out Neewer’s HB80C. Rated at 80W, the light is aimed squarely at filmmakers and content creators who need portable and versatile lighting without having to compromise on colour quality. At the heart of the HB80C is an advanced light-mixing cavity that ensures smooth, even colour across the spectrum. It delivers excellent colour accuracy with a CRI of 95+ and TLCI of 97+, while white light is adjustable from 2500 to 7500K. Despite weighing just 390g, the fixture produces up to 10,400 lux at 1m when set to 4400K and using the included reflector. The HB80C offers full RGB control alongside CCT and HSI modes, as well as 18 built-in lighting effects for creative work. Active cooling keeps temperatures under control, with adjustable fan settings including a quieter mode for sound-sensitive shoots. Control is available directly on the unit or via the Bluetooth app. Power options add to its appeal. The light can run via USB-C or its built-in 72Wh battery, providing up to 70 minutes of runtime in standard mode or 95 minutes in silent mode. A Bowens mount ensures compatibility with a wide range of modifiers, making the HB80C a flexible tool for creative set-ups, interviews and more. neewer.com
