At IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, Godox was showing its range of fixtures that feature the company’s new PaletteLab full-spectrum color engine.
Godox told me that they plan on looking into adding the PaletteLab lighting engine to other fixtures, such as the MG series, in the future.
The PaletteLab full-spectrum color engine is claimed to deliver highly accurate color reproduction, improved spectral consistency, and enhanced rendering of skin tones in complex lighting scenes.
- Blue: 5 bands coupled with a smooth, gap-free distribution render blue light with clarity and crisp definition
- Red: 3 bands coupling from red to deep red; the continuous spectrum delivers rich and accurate red with no muddiness and natural, lifelike skin tones.
- Green: A waveform engineered to match natural daylight green, restoring true saturation and fidelity without yellow or dull shifts, creating vivid, dimensional visuals.
- Cyan: Bridges the gap between blue and green wavelengths, enabling smoother shadow transitions and cleaner cyan reproduction, enhancing overall clarity and light transparency.
- PC Amber: Recreates the soft warm tone, avoiding dull or waxy casts.
PaletteLab is claimed to deliver full-spectrum performance across the entire visible wavelength range. PaletteLab is made up of 9 separate color diodes.
Built upon in-depth spectral analysis of natural daylight, PaletteLab is said to reconstruct a light spectrum that closely replicates real sunlight. This results in a highly natural lighting output.
One of the key innovations is its ability to eliminate spectral gaps. Godox states that, through advanced Multispectral Optical Coupling Technology, PaletteLab optimizes continuity across the full visible spectrum. By refining transitions from blue to cyan and from orange-red to deep red, the system is claimed to achieve exceptional spectral consistency.
The PaletteLab system also introduces three adjustable curves (Godox Curve, Blackbody Curve, and Daylight Curve).
The Godox KNOWLED PL600RF and PL1200RF are flagship fixtures that are part of the new PL series and feature the PaletteLab lighting engine.
