If you require a powerful light with sophisticated color control, brightness, and versatile operation options, the KNOWLED M1200Bi Bi-Color LED Monolight from Godox is an excellent choice. This fixture offers a broad, variable color temperature range from 2800K to 6500K and delivers superior color accuracy ratings, ensuring professional-quality color rendition in any setting. The light is fully dimmable from 0 to 100%, with adjustments possible locally on the fixture or wirelessly through multiple advanced options, including LumenRadio CRMX, Bluetooth app, Ethernet supporting Art-Net and sACN protocols, and wired DMX. Additionally, it can receive signals from three types of optional wireless remote controls, providing maximum flexibility for any production environment.
Designed without chip optics, the M1200Bi produces an even, natural, and sharp beam that closely mimics sunlight, delivering consistent light quality across its full 1200W power output at all color temperatures. Utilizing Godox’s innovative COB technology, this fixture maintains full brightness across the entire 2800K to 6500K range. At 3 meters with a Fresnel lens, it outputs an impressive 86,100 lux at 5600K—brightness comparable to a 1.8kW PAR light—making it a true powerhouse for filming and broadcasting. Its advanced blending technology ensures flawless, natural light even when using various optics such as reflectors, Fresnel lenses, or projection attachments.
The M1200Bi offers precise cinematic-level dimming, allowing users to fine-tune brightness in 0.1% increments from 0 to 100%, with less than 2 watts of change per step. This granular control enables smooth adjustments for nuanced lighting that meets the demands of professional productions. The fixture has undergone rigorous testing to ensure exceptional color fidelity, delivering natural, true-to-life colors that satisfy even the most discerning gaffers, particularly in rendering accurate and pleasant skin tones.
Built to withstand challenging environments, the M1200Bi is IP54 rated, protecting it against water spray and rain, so it performs reliably in wet or adverse weather conditions. The rugged design is complemented by a 26-foot power cable with a lockable Neutrik connector, along with a robust tiltable 360° yoke and heavy-duty 1-1/8" Junior pin for secure mounting.
Control options for the M1200Bi are comprehensive, supporting DMX512 with RDM protocol, built-in LumenRadio CRMX receiver, Ethernet with sACN and ArtNet protocols (compatible with Luminair), 2.4G wireless with Godox remotes, the Godox Light App, intuitive onboard controls, and a removable control panel (RC-11). This extensive control ecosystem ensures seamless coordination in both small setups and large-scale productions, including cross-brand compatibility.
Heat management is a key feature, with an advanced dissipation system that includes four selectable fan modes tailored to different shooting scenarios, maintaining optimal performance quietly. The light also offers four scientific dimming curves that enable users to customize output behavior for more accurate and efficient lighting adjustments.
The M1200Bi includes eleven built-in cinematic FX effects such as fireworks, lightning, broken bulb, TV, candle, fire, and welding, adding creative possibilities to any shoot. The fixture also introduces the groundbreaking Godox G mount, a revolutionary advancement in cinematic lighting ecosystems. The G mount supports a new generation of optics and light modifiers, including upgraded professional reflectors, a 14” Fresnel lens, projection attachments, lantern softboxes, parabolic softboxes, strip softboxes, and octagonal softboxes in various sizes.
Innovatively, the G mount features touch spots for intelligent recognition of attached accessories, enabling seamless communication and automatically powering the cooling system of the projection attachment GP Series when in use. This smart integration enhances efficiency and expands creative flexibility, making the KNOWLED M1200Bi a truly future-proof lighting solution for professional filmmakers and content creators.
