Comparing LED Panels for Filmmaking and Broadcasting

Sourcing the Best LED Panels Light Filmmaking for studios and broadcasters can be a big task, especially if you're used to a specific brand or type of lighting. However, you can miss out on some innovative new lighting equipment if you stick with the same brand.

Godox have recently released their brand new 650w Best LED Panels Light - The P600Bi, which is built for broadcasting and film studio settings, and is a perfect addition to the collection of large-scale production studios looking for something new. The P600Bi is also part of the Godox KNOWLED system, which is geared towards large-scale productions for television and filmmaking.

At 650w of efficient LED power, it packs a punch, and outputs around 11,400 lux at a distance of 3m, while the unit comes in at just 10kg, a lot lighter than some of it's competitors. Adjust the brightness in as little as 0.1% increments for precise control over the results, and use four dimming curve settings.

The P600Bi - Best LED Panels Light also benefits from a wide range of control options, including DMX, RDM, CRMX, Godox Light App, 2.4G remote, as well as standard on-board controlling. This makes the P600Bi one of the only App-controllable high-end broadcast-grade lights on the market - something that Godox has rolled out for much of their brand new video lighting range!

As one of the most cost-effective options for large-scale studio LED lighting, the P600Bi is a powerful yet compact and affordable option for media and broadcasting, readily available in the UK!
