COB Lights FAQs
The main difference comes down to light distribution and physical depth:
- LED Panel Lights (e.g., Godox LP-Series, Knowled Flexible Mats): Feature hundreds of small surface-mounted LEDs spread across a flat grid. They produce broad, soft illumination natively over a wide angle without requiring an attached softbox.
- COB Monolights (e.g., Godox LA and LE Series): Feature a single concentrated point-source light chip with a Bowens mount designed for precise light shaping using softboxes, lanterns, or optical spots.
- What Panel Lights Are Best For: Ideal for live streaming, YouTube face-cam setups, podcast studios, overhead rig lighting, and shooting in small or low-ceiling rooms where a deep COB softbox takes up too much floor space.
Selecting the right panel wattage depends on how far your light sits from your subject and how much area you need to illuminate:
- 30W to 40W Panels (e.g., Godox LP400): Perfect for desk-mounted vlogging, video conferencing, tabletop product shoots, and close-up fill lighting.
- 60W Panels (e.g., Godox LP600): The ideal standard for single-person key lighting in home studios, corporate interviews, and creator spaces.
- 120W+ Panels (e.g., Godox LP1200, Knowled Flexible Mats): Delivers high-output soft light for multi-person group shots, full-body portraiture, overhead soft lighting, and commercial video sets.
- Bi-Colour Panels: Allow you to adjust white light continuously from warm tungsten (2800K) to cool daylight (6500K). Choose Bi-Colour if your primary goal is clean skin tones, natural video interviews, and matching ambient house or window light.
- RGB / RGBWW Panels: Offer 360-degree full-spectrum HSI colour control alongside standard white light. Choose RGB if you want to project creative background colours, match brand colour schemes, add ambient rim lighting, or trigger lighting effects (such as police lights or party modes) for creative video production.
