Godox ML150 RF: The PaletteLab Full-Colour LED Video Light
The Godox ML150 RF is a compact 165W full-colour LED video light built around Godox's new PaletteLab colour engine. It combines accurate, full-spectrum colour with a small, travel-ready body and a modular design, so you get serious output and precise colour control from a fixture that fits into tight spaces and moves easily between studio and location.
With a wide 1800K to 10000K range, full RGB colour, high colour accuracy, and flexible control from NFC to DMX, the ML150 RF is made for creators who want one light that does it all. Here is a full look at what it offers.

TL;DR
Accurate full colour in a small body. The Godox ML150 RF is a 165W full-colour LED built on the PaletteLab colour engine for full-spectrum, true-to-life colour, with CRI and TLCI both around 96 and a wide 1800K to 10000K range. It stays compact and light at about 907g, uses a modular, detachable design, and runs from AC, the ML-BA battery system, or a V-mount battery via the optional ML-VMA adapter. Control it by NFC pairing, the Godox Light app, wired DMX and RDM, on-body controls, or CRMX over TimoLink. It takes the full Godox Mount accessory range and includes 14 built-in effects.
The PaletteLab Colour Engine
At the heart of the ML150 RF is PaletteLab, Godox's full-colour light engine. Rather than simply mixing a few coloured sources, it is engineered to deliver full-spectrum output across the entire visible range, aiming for accurate colour at every wavelength. In practice that means the colours you set are the colours you get, whether you are dialling in a precise brand shade or a clean white.
The PaletteLab engine mixes full-spectrum colour
The accuracy shows in the numbers. With CRI and TLCI both around 96 and an SSI of 92, skin tones and product colours render true on camera, so you spend less time correcting colour in the edit. The white range spans 1800K deep warm amber to 10000K cool daylight, with green and magenta adjustment across the full range to fine-tune against mixed ambient light, and full RGB colour on top for creative looks.

Compact Size, Serious Output
The ML150 RF packs 165W of output into a compact, travel-ready body that weighs only about 907g. Small in size but high in intensity, it delivers up to around 14,000 lux in a lightweight form built for tight spaces and demanding shoots, so it earns its place in a bag without weighing you down.
Serious output of up to around 14,000 lux
That combination is the appeal: enough power to work as a key light or push through a modifier, in a fixture small and light enough to carry to a location, mount in a cramped set, or travel with as part of a compact kit.

Detach, Configure, Create
The ML150 RF is built around a flexible modular design, so it adapts to different shooting scenarios. Its detachable structure makes transport, setup, and maintenance simpler, and lets you configure the fixture around your own workflow rather than working around a fixed body. It is a practical touch that pays off when you are packing down fast or adapting to an awkward set.
From Studio to Location
Power flexibility is a big part of what makes the ML150 RF versatile. It runs from AC mains for uninterrupted studio sessions, from the ML-BA battery system, or cable-free from a V-mount battery using the optional ML-VMA adapter. That means the same light covers a locked-off studio setup and a full day on location without changing systems.
For anyone who shoots in both environments, that range of power options removes a common headache: you are not tied to a wall socket when you go on location, and you are not draining batteries when mains power is right there.
The Godox Mount Accessory Ecosystem
The ML150 RF uses the Godox Mount, which opens up a complete and adaptable accessory ecosystem. Whether you want to concentrate brightness, shape the light, create eye-catching effects, or achieve soft, natural illumination, there is a modifier for it, from reflectors and projection attachments to softboxes and domes. Building a kit around the Godox Mount means your light shaping grows with your work.

Flexible Control, Your Way
Control is where the ML150 RF really lives up to the RF in its name. Instant NFC pairing connects the light to the Godox Light app with a single tap for wireless control of colour, brightness, and effects. For larger productions it supports professional wired DMX and RDM, and reliable CRMX wireless control through TimoLink, so it slots into a broader lighting network. You can also adjust everything directly on the light body when you prefer hands-on control.
One-tap NFC pairing and full control from the Godox Light app
A 30m Bluetooth range covers most rooms, and 14 built-in FX modes plus four dimming curves, linear, S-curve, exponential, and logarithmic, give you both creative effects and smooth, natural fades. It is a control set that suits a solo creator and a full crew equally.
