The Godox KNOWLED MS60R and KNOWLED MS60Bi are being touted as affordable, compact LED fixtures.
Godox KNOWLED MS60R
The Godox KNOWLED MS60R RGB LED Light features an all-new system of reliable modifiers, control methods, and power options without giving up high brightness. The small and modular body of the 60W fixture has been designed so that it can be easily adapted to different lighting applications.
The light weighs 0.7 lb / 311 g (Fixture without Battery/Lens) and has physical dimensions of 3.58 x 3.03 x 3″ / 9.09 x 7.7 x 7.6 cm (Fixture without Lens).

The back of the light can directly mount multiple optional adapters that allow for multiple ways of powering the unit, while its front can be modified with a collection of magnetic light shapers.
The MS60R’s lens reflector is claimed to be able to output 11,000 lux at a distance of 1m / 3.3′ when set at 5600K. It has CCT, RGBW, HSI, GEL, XY, and FX modes. Both CCT and brightness settings are adjustable from 1800 to 10,000K and 0 to 100%, respectively. There are also Linear, S-curve, exponential, and logarithmic dimming curves.
Besides full RGB, the MS60R comes with 14 lighting effects, including flash, lightning, cloudy, broken bulb, TV, candle, fire, fireworks, explosion, welding, cop car, SOS, RGB cycle, and party presets.
A side screen is available for monitoring and controlling the parameters of the light. There is also Bluetooth connectivity available via the Godox Light app. The fixture also supports DMX512, RDM, and LumenRadio CRMX. NFC functionality makes connecting the light with the Godox Light app easy.
Even though the MS60R comes with a rechargeable battery and USB-C charging cable, it can also run from an optional NP-F battery or AC power. This requires the separately available MS60NPA NP-F adapter. If needed, the same NP-F adapter also allows for a connection to an optional V-mount battery. For AC power, the light requires the separately available MS60PA01 adapter. The power adapter can also be combined with an optional E27 adapter so that you can use the MS60R as an LED bulb-style fixture.
The light features an integrated fan and there are auto, medium, and high fan modes.
The MS60R comes with a lens reflector but can also accept an array of separately available magnetic modifiers. Godox also offers other types of reflectors and a wide range of dedicated accessories. Users can modify the fixture with a zoom lens, softbox, barndoors, a diffusion dome, snoot, projection attachment with various lens options, and a beam booster. A 1/4″-20 thread allows for easy connection to the included stand bracket for extra flexibility.
In the kit, you get the light body with a lens reflector, a battery, a USB-C charging cable, a stand mount adapter, and a carry bag.
The Godox KNOWLED MS60R is available for $429 USD.
