The KNOWLED AM1600R - The Truss-less LED Game-Changer

When it comes to LED panels the video production market is spoiled for choice. But with the release of the new KNOWLED AM1600R Inflatable Panels, gaffers and cinematographers now suddenly have access to a whole new range of lighting possibilities. We've covered the AM1600R in depth, and compared them to some of the other KNOWLED LED Panels to show you why it stands out from the crowd.  

Inflatable Design

Similar also to the KNOWLED F Series RGB panels, which are supplied up to 800w in RGB, the AM1600R is the next step in lightweight LED Panel construction. The F series panels are flexible structure panels that can be folded or bent to fit into tight spaces or attached to surfaces. With the option of inflatable softbox covers to be added to these, they are a lightweight panel option that is great for mounting to light stands.

Reminiscent instead of the Aputure Infinimat inflatable panel, the AM1600R KNOWLED equivalents hold a similar design, with the uncommonly found inflatable construction on a flexible panel bed. The super soft light panel instead is better suited for overhead lighting due to it's large size and sunlight replication abilities amongst other features.

Its super lightweight design (6.7kg for 4x8" panel and 12kg for 8x8" panel before control box) allows for effortless transportation, making it ideal for on-location shoots, and also allows for super easy rigging, with less weight to take in mind.

With a modular design, the AM1600R panels can be easily adjusted to different shapes and sizes, providing flexibility in various shooting scenarios, with smaller panel sections paired together swiftly to create a larger panel suitable for your shoot. 

Durability

While it's inflatable design may seem fragile on paper, the AM1600Rs use advanced materials made with precision manufacturing for high-grade scratch and abrasion resistance. In fact, you can easily stand on the inflated panel frame without risking damage, so you don't have to worry about it getting knocked about on set. 

Power in a Lightweight Package

One of the standout features of the KNOWLED AM1600R Inflatable Panel is its high power output. At 1,600w, these panels are the most powerful LED Panel from the Godox KNOWLED Range so far, beating out the new P1200R Pro by 400w, despite the panel unit being almost half the weight! 

The AM1600R features 0.1% brightness increment adjustments, as well as dimming curves in Linear, S-Curve, Exponential and Logarithmic, for smooth transitions in your effects. 

Advanced Colour Options

With a full RGBWW colour range and a CCT of 1800K-10,000K, the AM1600R panels offer a super flexible colour selection, to fit any style your shoot needs. Paired with a Green-Magenta colour shift to compensate for ambient effects, as well as CCT, HSI, RGBW, GEL, and FX colour modes, these panels have maximum adaptability. 

Including high TLCI and CRI Ratings too, of 97+ and 96+ respectively, the AM1600R is a perfect option for broadcast, television and film productions, with high accuracy and minimal correction grading needed in post. 

Weatherproof Rating

With an IP54 weather rating, the AM1600R is covered for both the panel and the control box, for protection from dust and water ingress, making it safe for outdoor use in rainy conditions or otherwise. This joins the vast (and growing!) selection of KNOWLED Lighting equipment designed with the outdoors in mind, with ratings of IP54 and upwards.

Advanced Control Options

With the KNOWLED AM1600R, users have access to advanced control options to suit any gaffer and any set. Including:

• Control Box controls
• Ethernet controls
• DMX
• CRMX 
• and Bluetooth KNOWLED APP controls (30m control distance)

Whether you prefer to adjust settings manually or remotely, this panel provides the flexibility to do so in a way that fits with the other equipment on set. 

Box Contents

Supplied as a full, complete kit, the AM1600Rs are in want of nothing, and have accessories included! Provided in a sturdy flight case, the panels come with the panel, diffusers, and air pump for construction, as well as a skirt, grids, and pancake lantern so you can adapt the light effect how you wish with the right gear at hand.

Plus, with the emergency repair kit included, you can rest easy knowing you can undertake quick on-set repairs without having to wait for engineers or sending equipment out for fixing.
