Godox LED Film and Video Lighting System Elevates the Scene
Henan Stallite TV has chosen the Godox lights to illuminate their music television production. The decision to utilise Godox LED video lighting fixtures is based on their rich and diverse forms. Meanwhile, they can provide ideal light effects and improve work efficiency for shooting movies, TV series, advertisements, studios, larger-scale events, large-scale studios, etc. Additionally, these lights come equipped with IP54 waterproof and dustproof features, ensuring stability, brightness, and easy control, especially in outdoor filming.
What Godox fixtures are used in this scene? How do Godox lights help to create a specific look for this video?
1. MG2400Bi & MG1200B Powerful LED Video Light:
The team has used the MG2400Bi and MG1200Bi lights, which are both the latest ultra-high input power and industry-leading COB packaging technologies. Serving as main light sources, these lights deliver a consistently stable output at full power throughout the entire colour temperature range (2800K - 6500K). Furthermore, the use of both lights creates diversity, natural light effects and intricate light and shadow levels. This capability replicates the effects of various periods.
2. AT200B Inflatable Balloon LED Light:
For the scene below, the team arranged the Godox AT200Bi air tube light, boasting a maximum output of 210W and a 180° light emission angle, providing bright and soft illumination. The inflatable airbag enhances the portability and flexibility of the light, allowing for convenient setup and adjustment during filming. Notably, in the scene depicted below, the AT200Bi balloon tube light is strategically positioned at ceiling height, ensuring board coverage. Besides, the fixture is equipped with an IP65 protection design, providing a high level of resistance against dust and water. This feature significantly enhances convenience and contributes to greater flexibility.
The team also employed the flexible F200Bi LED light mat, strategically situating it around the characters to enhance the visual depth of the scene. This is valuable to casting shadows and highlights, adding depth and dimension to both the characters and their surroundings. The result is an elevated cinematic quality in the overall production. Additionally, the F200Bi's impressive colour rendering capability ensures that characters are accurately lit with vibrant and natural hues. Throughout the shoot, the F200Bi's compact and foldable design proved highly portable, providing great convenience for both lighting adjustments and transportation. Its robust design enables it to easily withstand the challenging conditions of the set.
3. M600Bi Bi-Colour LED Light:
On the set, the film crew also employed the M600Bi LED light, which has 7 categories and 21 preset adjustable film and television lighting effects. It is suitable for a variety of lighting scenes, including candles, firelight thunder, and general lighting, meeting the requirements of creative shooting. Notably, the M600Bi LED video light ensures stable output, and minimal colour variation, and proves cost-effective, adding to its effectiveness in the production process.
4. S60B Bi-Colour Focusable LED Light:

To illuminate intricate details, the film crew opted for the S60Bi, equipped with a condenser tube. Utilising the focus knob, the crew controlled the spot size, directing the light specifically to highlight object details. This approach allowed for precise light control, enabling the team to shape the light freely and introduce a greater diversity of lighting effects.
On the other hand, the film crew utilised Godox pixel tube lights with the capability to independently control each pixel. Beyond supporting various intelligent control methods, it also allows for handheld use when required. Additionally, it can be immediately positioned in corners to accentuate and outline characters.
