Revolutionary Advances Beyond Traditional Reflectors

• Protective Corner

The Godox LiteFlow series revolutionises reflector panel lighting diffusers with outstanding features and a remarkable physical design. In detail, the LiteFlow is equipped with four protective bezels in the corners. These protective bezels serve several purposes, including preventing the reflector from potential damage and providing users with a convenient way to hold it without touching the surface directly. This design maintains the user’s experience and safeguards the panel from fingerprints and scratches, ensuring its longevity. Likewise, these bezels also play an important role in preventing direct impact on the ground, enhancing the overall durability of these reflectors. 

• Safety Holes 

Moreover, the Godox LiteFlow series is built-in with four strategically placed holes, adding a layer of protection against accidental drops when the reflector panel is attached to light stands. Its design not only enhances overall stability but also ensures a secure and worry-free environment for users during various lighting applications.

• Quick-Release Sleek Rail Mounting System 

Furthermore, the distinctive feature of the Godox LiteFlow series is its quick-release plate system, which is also known as a sleek rail mounting system. This innovative system allows users to effortlessly attach and detach the reflectors when needed, supporting faster setup times. It is a valuable element for those working in professional environments where time is sensitive. Additionally, it ensures efficiency and versatile connection options using optional flexible arms, various stands and studio grip accessories. Meanwhile, its adaptability caters to diverse studio setups, providing users with the freedom to create their own lighting setup. 

• Crafted Aluminium-Coated Surface

One of the designs that truly sets the LiteFlow apart is a meticulously crafted aluminium-coated surface. Beyond adding a touch of elegance to the overall design, this surface plays a pivotal role in enhancing the reflector’s performance. Its applied aluminium coasting contributes to an impressive 3% loss of intensity, ensuring the emitted light maintains the highest quality. Therefore, it makes the Godox LiteFlow cine light reflector series a perfect choice for those who prioritise both style and performance in their lighting equipment.

Choosing Your LiteFlow: Navigating Sizes and Colours

The Godox LiteFlow kit offers versatility in four sizes: 7, 15, 25, 50 and 100 cm, so choosing the right size depends on your specific needs. The small reflectors, such as LiteFlow 7 and LiteFlow 15, tend to produce more focused and concentrated light. These reflectors may create more defined shadows and are often used when precision or control over the lighting direction is crucial. In contrast, large reflectors like LiteFlow 50 and LiteFlow 100 produce softer and more diffused light, which is effective in minimising harsh shadows and creating more even illumination. Therefore, these options become popular for portrait photography or interview shooting, where a softer and more flattering light is desired. While the LiteFlow 25 serves as the middle ground, offering a balanced performance. 

When paired with parallel light sources, it is an ideal solution for diverse lighting requirements in various settings. You can swiftly choose their desired type by identifying the different label colours on the back. Take the LiteFlow 25cm, for example, the blue reflector emits a brighter and more focused light, leading to more defined highlights and shadows. The LiteFlow 25cm Green Reflector offers a broader spread of light, resulting in a softer and more evenly dispersed illumination by minimising the harsh contrast between light and shadow. In practical applications, the blue reflector can be used outside because of its ability to shine sunlight, while the green reflector excels in indoor light environments. 

• Blue colour/Number 1: hard light 
• Yellow colour/Number 2: medium light 
• Green colour/Number 3: soft light 
• Red colour/Number 4: soft strip lights 

Empowering Creativity: How to Use the LiteFlow

Unlike traditional reflector panels, the Godox LiteFlow cine light reflector series excels in offering seamless angle adjustments, providing convenient control during setups and flexibility when paired with high-output fixtures in low positions, effectively reducing workload and enhancing safety. Whether mounted on a light stand or ceiling, the LiteFlow allows for unlimited positioning to capture every intricate detail in your work. 

The Godox LiteFlow series empowers you to use it in both indoor and outdoor shootings. In the outdoors, the LiteFlow can directly utilise natural sunlight, allowing you to efficiently balance lighting contrast even without artificial sources.

In studio or tight-space shootings, it empowers you to achieve cinematic lighting effortlessly. Because it allows you to redirect a single light source multiple times, creating numerous light points and minimising the necessity for extra fixtures and light-shaping tools. At the same time, it also reduces noise production compared to using multiple light sources, which is a must-have element for video productions.
