Godox KNOWLED P600R and P1200R RGB LED Panels Announced

Godox is announcing two new, high-power, hard RGB LED panels. Aimed at professionals and medium-large production studios, the Godox KNOWLED P600R and P1200R panels combine high output, rugged build, modular compatibility, and advanced control methods. Both panels support a wide CCT range of 1,800-10,000K, as well as full RGB coverage. The P600R offers CRI 96 / TLCI96 while its bigger P1200R brother offers CRI 96 / TLCI 98. This impressive spec list is only part of the story, so let’s dive in.

The lighting market has grown significantly in the last decade or so as various new manufacturers try their luck and ingenuity entering it. While Godox isn’t a particularly old lighting company, they’ve managed to accumulate a lot of experience over the years and now occupy a strong, professional position while still maintaining relative affordability. The KNOWLED P600R and P1200R hard RGB LEDs are a natural evolution in this regard.

The square Godox KNOWLED P600R is a medium-sized RGB LED. The P1200R is essentially an x2 version, about twice the size, power output, price, etc. As their model name suggests, they draw 600W / 1200W respectively. The fixture’s build is quite robust, including a metal yoke, angle adjustment handle, control panel, and various inputs. Both also include active cooling fans to prolong intensive operation.

Being a hard LED RGB panel, the P600R and P1200R gain some significant advantages over their flexible competitors. Perhaps the most noticeable is the lens array enabling the fixtures’ high output. The P600R draws 600W and produces beams as intense as 71,700 lux at a distance of 1 meter at 5600K. The larger P1200R essentially doubles this with 136,000 lux at a distance of 1 meter at 5600K from a 1200W power draw.
