Godox LED500LR-C LED Video Light with Barndoors and Wireless Remote

On a video shoot, consistent lighting is critical. The Godox LED500LR-C LED Video Light delivers bright, adjustable illumination with precise color control, making it a reliable choice for videographers, photographers, and content creators in studios or on location. Its 500 LEDs produce a powerful output of up to 2900 lux at 1 meter, while the variable color temperature from 3300K to 5600K allows you to match ambient light or create the desired mood. The included barndoors help shape and direct the light, and the diffuser panel softens shadows for a more flattering look. With high color accuracy (CRI >95, TLCI >95), your footage will have true-to-life colors. Power options include the included AC adapter or two Sony NP-F series batteries (not included) for portable use. The intuitive on-board controls and LCD panel make adjustments quick, and the 2.4GHz wireless remote (RC-A5 included) lets you control the light from a distance, with 16 channels and 6 groups to avoid interference in multi-light setups. The light mounts easily on any standard light stand via its 1/4"-20 thread. Built with durable ABS plastic and featuring natural convection cooling, the LED500LR-C is designed for reliable performance in demanding environments.
