Godox KNOWLED AM800R 44K Flexible Light
The Godox KNOWLED AM800R 44K Flexible Light is an inflatable full-colour LED mat of 800 W for film and video productions. The light surface measures 120 x 120 centimetres (4 x 4 feet) and delivers soft, even light. The AM series is also available in 4 x 8 and 8 x 8 feet.
You set the colour temperature from 1800 to 10,000 K, with green-magenta correction from -100% to +100%. There are also HSI, RGBW, GEL, X-Y and FX modes. The colour rendering is CRI ≈96 and TLCI ≈98, so skin tones stay true to life. Dimming runs from 0 to 100%, with four dimming curves.
According to the user manual, the bare lamp in normal mode delivers 23,300 lux at 1 metre at 3200 K and 25,500 lux at 5600 K. At 3 metres that is 3570 and 3870 lux. The three included diffusion cloths soften the light, and the grid limits stray light.
You inflate the air frame to 8 PSI in about a minute, after which it keeps its shape for up to 15 days. Using D-rings, you can link several mats into a larger light surface. The foldable U-bracket has an adjustment range of 300°.
The light body and controller are IP65 and work from -20 to 45 °C. You control the lamp via DMX/RDM, CRMX, Ethernet, Bluetooth (up to 60 metres) or the controller. The light body weighs 4.95 kilos without the frame, and the controller 6.4 kilos. Everything fits in the included flight case.
