Description
The Godox LC500R RGB Continuous Light Stick gives photographers and videographers a genuinely versatile, handheld lighting tool that goes well beyond a standard on-camera light — combining full-spectrum white light control with a complete RGB color palette in one compact wand.
For standard video and photography work, the LC500R offers an adjustable color temperature range of 2500K to 8500K, letting you match ambient lighting conditions or create a specific mood, with a high CRI of 96 and TLCI of 98 ensuring colors render accurately and skin tones look natural. When you want to get creative, switching into RGB mode unlocks 360° of selectable color, giving you full control over hue and saturation for stylized shots, music videos, or colorful background lighting.
Built-in 14 FX lighting effects, with 39 presets in total, simulate real-world lighting scenarios — like lightning, police lights, fireworks, and paparazzi flashes — directly in-camera, cutting down on time spent recreating these effects in post-production. A creative music mode with a built-in microphone even syncs lighting changes to sound, useful for music-driven content and dynamic social video. Control is handled through an onboard LCD display for precise adjustments, and the light supports Godox’s 2.4GHz wireless remote system (32 channels, 6 groups) for remote operation when the light is mounted out of reach.
At roughly 61.6cm long and 0.81kg, the LC500R is genuinely designed to be hand-held during a shot — its slim, wand-like shape earns comparisons to a lightsaber for good reason — while dual 1/4″-20 mounting threads on both ends also let you mount it on a light stand or boom arm when you need it stationary. A built-in rechargeable battery delivers around 90 minutes of runtime at full brightness, making it practical for on-location use without needing to stay tethered to a power outlet.
Whether you’re a content creator looking to add colorful accent lighting to a set, a filmmaker who needs quick in-camera lighting effects, or a photographer wanting a portable, creative light source for portraits and product shoots, the Godox LC500R offers a wide creative range in a genuinely portable form factor.
