Godox ML40R RGB Portable LED Light

Designed to help you unleash your creativity, Godox reveals the ML40R RGB Portable LED Light, offering complete RGBW colour control. Featuring a 3.8 x 3.5 x 1.8" body with magnetic mount and NFC app connectivity, the ML40R expands the ML series by bringing interesting features to creators. Differentiating itself from the ML100Bi/R lights, this 40W RGBW version has a built-in battery that provides 42 minutes at 100% brightness for a wide range of scenarios, from indoor spaces to on-the-go shootings. It comes with a 10° lens reflector that increases its output and a convenient USB-C charging cable. The ML40R has a wider adjustable CCT from 1800 to 10,000K, when compared to its bi-colour-only model. In addition to full-colour capability with HSI and RGBW modes, the ML40R also offers 14 lighting effects to create the exact mood you want.

Creative RGBW Light

Even in its highly compact and portable form factor, the bare light has an illuminance of 781 lux at 3.3' (5600K), which expands to an impressive 12,300 lux using the included 10° lens reflector. The light with reflector also delivers values of 1660 lux (red), 3300 lux (green), and 621 lux (blue) from the same distance. Another highlight is the fixture's high CRI/TLCI rating of 95, ensuring superior colour accuracy. For creative use, the ML40R provides 14 effects, including RGB cycle, party, flash, lightning, cloudy, broken bulb, TV, candle, fire, fireworks, explosion, welding, cop car, and SOS to help you simulate realistic scenarios.

Easy Control

Lighting settings, such as the extensive 1800-10,000K colour temperature and 0-100% dimming capability, can be adjusted on the fixture itself or wirelessly via Bluetooth at distances up to 98.4' using the Godox Light app. The intuitive design of the light also incorporates an NFC connection. Open the Godox Light app and tap "add NFC". After this, bring your smartphone closer to the fixture's NFC spot (on its top part), and the app will pair automatically. The app will also auto-check for firmware upgrades.

Internal Battery Power & Cooling

The light runs on an internal battery providing up to 42 minutes of runtime at 100% brightness with a charging time of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Besides the convenience of built-in battery power, other beneficial features are the light's integrated fan and air vent that keep the light running cool and safe for continuous use. Fan settings include mute (turns off the fan for silent operation), auto (balances noise reduction and heat dissipation for daily use), and medium/high (provides enhanced cooling for long, full-power operation).

Optional Battery Grip

You can also pair it with the separately available BG02 battery grip or a power bank to keep the light running for longer shooting sessions.

Expanded Mounting Options

The ML40R has a proprietary front Godox mount. The unit also comes with a mount release button for convenience and a bottom 1/4"-20 hole for wide compatibility with separately available stands. One of its best features is a useful magnetic back for easy attachment to metal surfaces, which enables extra mounting flexibility. The ML40R is lightweight at just 0.43 kg (without reflector) and small enough to carry in your gear bag.
