Product Description
The Godox LST80 Light Box is an 80cm professional photography studio that folds down small enough to store under a bed or in a cupboard. This all-in-one product photography solution combines a pop-up shooting tent with three repositionable LED light strips, providing consistent, shadow-free illumination for capturing professional product images and videos. The studded silver interior creates even light distribution, whilst the included diffuser panel softens the output further for that classic clean product shot look. With impressive colour accuracy ratings (CRI 96, TLCI 98) and independent brightness controls for each LED strip, you have complete control over your lighting setup.
This light box is essential for e-commerce sellers, product photographers, small business owners, and anyone who needs to photograph items ranging from jewellery and cosmetics to electronics and small homeware products. If you're shooting inventory for an online shop, creating catalogue images, documenting collectables, or producing content for social media product posts, the LST80 streamlines your workflow significantly. It's particularly valuable for those working from home studios or shared spaces where a permanent photography setup isn't practical.
Product photography presents unique challenges - uneven lighting creates distracting shadows, inconsistent colour rendering makes products look different from reality, and achieving that professional white background requires expensive equipment and post-production skills. Setting up traditional studio lighting with softboxes and backgrounds is time-consuming and requires considerable space, whilst many budget light tents produce weak, colour-inaccurate illumination that necessitates extensive editing.
The LST80 eliminates these frustrations by integrating everything you need into one compact system. The three LED strips generate between 13,500 to 14,500 lumens collectively, providing ample illumination for crisp, well-exposed product shots without needing additional lighting equipment. Each strip features independent brightness control, allowing you to adjust the lighting ratio and create subtle depth or eliminate shadows entirely depending on your product and aesthetic preferences. You can reposition the LED strips within the box to change the lighting angle and quality, giving you creative flexibility that fixed-light boxes can't match. The high CRI of 96 and TLCI of 98 ensure that colours are reproduced accurately, meaning your red lipstick looks genuinely red and your navy fabric doesn't shift towards purple - critical for customer satisfaction and reducing returns. The studded silver interior acts as a giant reflector, bouncing light evenly throughout the space, whilst the included white and black backdrops provide classic background options for different product types. Top and front camera access windows let you shoot from multiple angles, and when you're finished, the entire setup disassembles quickly and packs into the included carry bag. At 4.5kg total weight and collapsing from 80x80x80cm to a flat package, it's genuinely portable for location work or simply clearing your workspace when not shooting.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Experiment with LED strip positioning for different products - moving them closer or further creates different lighting effects
✓ Use the black backdrop for reflective products like glassware or polished metal to reduce distracting light bounces
✓ Shoot with the diffuser panel in place first, then try removing it for products that benefit from slightly more directional light
✓ Keep the carry bag and disassemble the unit between extended shooting sessions to maintain the fabric's tension and appearance
✓ Take white balance reference shots with a grey card inside the box for perfect colour accuracy in post-production
✗ Don't try to photograph items significantly larger than 60cm - whilst the box is 80cm internally, you need space for lighting angles and camera perspective
✗ Don't force the frame components during assembly - if something doesn't fit easily, you've likely got the wrong piece or orientation
✗ Don't place the light box in direct sunlight or near bright windows without blocking the external light - colour temperature mixing ruins the colour accuracy advantage
✗ Don't assume you can skip learning basic camera settings - the light box provides excellent illumination, but you still need proper exposure and focus
✗ Don't pack the light box away whilst the LED strips are still warm from extended use - give them a few minutes to cool down first
