Godox has announced the KNOWLED AM800R, a professional 800W RGBWW LED mat light aimed at film, television, and commercial productions. The fixture features a 4×4-foot (1.2 x 1.2 m) lighting surface and replaces traditional rigid frames with an inflatable airframe for faster setup and easier transport.
The design is intended to reduce weight and simplify transportation while allowing crews to deploy a large soft light source quickly on location or in the studio. According to Godox, the frame inflates to approximately 8 PSI in about one minute and can retain air for up to 15 days.
Inflatable design for greater flexibility
The KNOWLED AM800R features a reinforced carbon-fiber backplate and a foldable U-bracket offering up to 300 degrees of tilt. It can be mounted on standard light stands, boom arms, suspended overhead, or placed directly on the ground for low-angle lighting.
800W RGBWW output
The fixture delivers up to 800W of RGBWW output with an adjustable color temperature from 1,800K to 10,000K and ±100 GM green-magenta adjustment for accurate color matching.
Godox also says the new microstructure diffusion fabrics provide softer and more even illumination across the entire lighting surface.
Built for professional productions
The AM800R features IP65 weather resistance and supports onboard controls, Bluetooth, the Godox Light app, DMX, CRMX, and Ethernet connectivity for integration into professional production workflows.
Pricing and availability
The Godox KNOWLED AM800R is available for pre-order in the United States for $3,990, with regional pricing expected to vary. More here.
What we think
The inflatable frame concept could significantly reduce setup time and transportation challenges for large lighting fixtures. If durability matches conventional systems, the KNOWLED AM800R could become a practical solution for production crews working across multiple locations.
