Step into the world of vintage-inspired photography with the Godox Lux Cadet – a newly announced retro-style flash that promises to add a touch of nostalgia to your camera setup.
The resurgence of retro cameras, pioneered by Olympus and Fujifilm, has recently expanded with Nikon’s Zf and Z fc models embracing the classic film camera aesthetic. In line with this trend, Godox has introduced the Lux Cadet flash, a vintage-inspired accessory that combines the timeless elegance of the 1940s with modern handiness.
The tiny, stylish flash offers a fixed 28 mm focal length, 2.5 s recycle time, 7 power settings, and a CCT rating of 6200 K. The built-in, rechargeable 1700 mAh lithium-ion battery allows for up to 620 full-power flashes on a single charge.
The Retro Revival Is Here To Stay
Discover the Godox Lux Cadet – a homage to the aesthetics of bygone eras. This new camera flash is the perfect companion for both retro and film cameras, drawing inspiration from classic designs. More than a lighting accessory, the Lux Cadet is a statement piece for those who appreciate the charm of nostalgia, representing the enduring appeal of retro aesthetics in photography.
A Compact And Stylish Design
Weighing in at a mere 171 grams, the Lux Cadet’s metal build is both sturdy and lightweight. Its compact size and sleek metal-and-leather look make it easy to forget you’re holding a modern flash. The Lux Cadet effortlessly combines style with practicality for photographers on the go.
Seamless Sync for All Cameras
The Lux Cadet flash is your versatile companion, designed to seamlessly sync with any camera featuring a standard hot shoe with a center pin. Whether you’re wielding a true vintage film camera or a modern, retro-styled device, the Lux Cadet offers a glimpse into the past and brings forth the enduring appeal of retro aesthetics in photography.
Simple & Effortless Operation
The Lux Cadet flash is designed for easy use. In addition to the standard Manual mode, this flash boasts an Auto mode, making capturing great shots a breeze—no fussing with complicated settings.
Explore the Lux Retro Series
Godox has introduced two flashes in their Lux Retro series so far. The lineup includes the compact Lux Junior, a sleek rectangular flash, and the Godox Lux Senior, a sizable manual speedlight with a collapsible silver reflector. Fitting neatly between these two, the Lux Cadet strikes a perfect balance, drawing inspiration from the Senior’s design but in a more compact form, yet offering enhanced power compared to the Junior.
