The Godox Litemons LA300Bi is a high-output 330W bi-colour COB LED video light engineered for commercial videographers, content creators, portrait photographers, live-streamers, and production teams:
- Who It Is For: Designed for video professionals and studio owners who need high continuous brightness to punch through heavy softbox diffusion or throw light over long distances on set.
- Massive Output: Delivers up to 127,000 lux at 1 metre (at 5600K with standard reflector) for intense, reliable illumination.
- Variable CCT Range: Adjust colour temperature smoothly from 2800K warm tungsten to 6500K cool daylight with precise 0% to 100% dimming.
- Colour Fidelity: Delivers clean, true-to-life color rendering with CRI 95 and TLCI 95 ratings for natural skin tones in video.
- Smart App & NFC Pairing: Features Bluetooth remote control via the Godox Light app, including fast one-tap NFC device pairing for multi-light studio setups.
While both models belong to the 300W class, the LA300Bi and LE300Bi serve distinct production requirements:
- Lux Output Gap: The LA300Bi produces 127,000 lux at 1 metre (at 5600K with standard reflector), whereas the LE300Bi produces 58,900 lux at 1 metre under the same conditions. The LA300Bi delivers more than double the forward light throw when using reflectors or softboxes.
- Cooling Fin Architecture: The LA300Bi uses copper radiator fins for maximum heat dissipation, allowing its LED engine to be driven harder. The LE300Bi uses aluminum radiator fins designed for lightweight, ultra-quiet studio operation.
- Power Supply Setup: The LA300Bi uses an external 48V DC power supply brick connected via XLR cable, which enables optional battery operation. The LE300Bi integrates its AC power supply directly inside the light housing for a clean, single-cable wall connection.
- Summary: Choose the LA300Bi for maximum brightness, long throw distance, and battery versatility. Choose the LE300Bi for an all-in-one AC studio setup with silent cooling and maximum value.
Choosing between the LA300Bi and LA300R depends on whether your workflow prioritizes raw white-light power or full-spectrum creative colour:
- Color Spectrum & Modes: The LA300Bi is a dedicated bi-colour fixture (2800K to 6500K) focused on pure white light output. The LA300R is a full RGB-WW fixture featuring an expanded 1800K to 10,000K CCT range, HSI mode, film-grade GEL emulation, and full 360-degree colour control.
- Light Output Efficiency: The LA300Bi delivers higher raw white light output (127,000 lux at 1m with reflector vs 94,700 lux at 1m on the LA300R at 5600K) because its LED COB chip focuses entirely on white-light diodes.
- Recommendation: Select the LA300Bi if your primary need is key lighting talent with maximum white light brightness. Select the LA300R if you need creative background washes, music video mood lighting, or custom color FX.
The LA300Bi utilizes a versatile 48V DC power system designed for studio and mobile production:
- Mains AC Power (Included): Comes supplied with an external 100V-240V AC to 48V DC power adapter brick and power cable to run continuously off standard wall sockets.
- Off-Grid Battery Power (Sold Separately): Features a 3-pin XLR 48V DC input port on the light fixture. On location, you can power the unit wirelessly using an optional 48V DC battery power station or a dual V-mount battery plate system (such as the Godox DBP-V).
No, the Godox LA300Bi does not include a light stand or softbox in the standard single-light box package, but all compatible accessories can be purchased separately at CameraStuff:
- What Is Included In The Box: The package contains the LA300Bi light body, standard Bowens mount reflector, 48V power adapter brick, AC power cord, and protective lamp cover.
- Universal Bowens Mount Compatibility: Features a standard Bowens S-mount front fitting, allowing you to attach parabolic softboxes, lanterns, beauty dishes, optical snoots, and umbrellas.
- Building Your Kit at CameraStuff: You can add air-cushioned light stands, heavy-duty C-stands, softboxes, grids, and carry bags separately at CameraStuff to build a customized kit.
