The newest Godox LC series light stick stands out as the most potent handheld LED wand introduced yet. Boasting unmatched power and a uniquely smooth brightness, the Godox LC1000 LED Light Sticks set a new benchmark with up to 100 W output and an advanced diffuser for even light distribution.
Taking handheld lighting to a new level, Godox has just introduced two new LED stick lights to the LC series. The LC1000Bi and LC1000R models enhance the lineup with increased power and advanced functionality compared to predecessors like the LC500 and LC500R. Boasting a wide color temperature range from 2500 to 8500 K and featuring app compatibility for remote adjustments, these light sticks introduce unmatched versatility and convenience, making them ideal for a broad spectrum of creative applications.
Designed to cater to diverse lighting needs, the LC1000Bi focuses on bi-color lighting, ideal for creators who need to switch between warm and cool tones effortlessly. Meanwhile, the LC1000R brings vibrant RGB colors into play, offering 360 selectable hues for those aiming to infuse their work with dynamic color effects. With up to 100 W of power, both models ensure ample brightness for photographers, filmmakers, and content creators to bring their artistic visions to life.
High Power, Smooth Illumination
With the capability to deliver up to 100 W of power in P mode, the LC1000 LED wands offer exceptional brightness levels—1680 lux at 1 meter in Normal mode, reaching up to 2430 lux for the LC1000Bi and 2270 lux for the LC1000R in P mode. Beyond sheer power, these lights ensure smooth and professional-grade illumination. An advanced diffuser, developed through expert optical design, guarantees a soft, even light distribution. This approach to light quality not only makes for softer lighting but also provides consistent transitions and effective portrait lighting, enhancing the practicality and flexibility for various lighting setups.
Flexible Color Adjustability and CCT Precision
The RGB mode on the LC1000R, featuring 360 selectable colors, allows users to craft light paintings, set the ambiance, or highlight portraits with just the right hue. Additionally, both the LC1000Bi and LC1000R support a CCT range from 2500 to 8500 K, providing versatility in adjusting from warm to cool tones. This flexibility is ideal for a wide range of photographic and cinematic applications, ensuring the right mood or enhancing the realism of any scene.
Easy to Carry and Power
The Godox LC1000 series is lightweight and portable, weighing just about 1 kg and including a carry bag for easy transportation. Designed to be versatile, it can be used handheld or mounted via a standard ¼” thread in the handle. Flexible power options include the built-in battery, a USB-C port and a DC adapter. The battery supports up to 49 minutes of use at 65 W and 27 minutes at full 100 W power in P mode. This combination of lightweight design and flexible power options makes the LC1000 series practical for both studio and field work.
Creative FX and Convenient Control
The Godox LC1000 series enhances creative projects with a wide range of FX effects. The LC1000Bi offers 11 modes, such as flash, fire and broken bulb, ideal for adding drama and realism to any scene. The LC1000R goes further, featuring 14 effects including RGB cycle and party, and it introduces a Music Mode that syncs lighting with audio for dynamic effects. Both lights offer straightforward bluetooth control through the Godox Light app, allowing for quick adjustments from a smartphone. Additionally, the lights have a built-in display and straightforward buttons for quick manual control.
Silent Performance and Precision Lighting
Quiet fan operation in the LC1000 LED light sticks ensures your shooting environment remains free from distracting noises. If total silence is required, the fan can be turned off, which reduces the light’s brightness to 50%. Each unit comes with detachable 2-leaf barndoors, allowing for precise control over the light’s direction. This accessory is essential for guiding the light onto specific subjects or reducing it in unwanted areas, making it highly beneficial for creative lighting setups.
