The Godox FL series Flexible LED Light is a versatile and portable lighting solution designed for a wide range of shooting scenarios. Its primary function is to provide adjustable and high-quality illumination, making it suitable for both professional and amateur photographers and videographers. The series offers four distinct models—FL60, FL100, FL150S, and FL150R—each varying in size to accommodate different lighting needs and creative applications.
At its core, the FL series LED light delivers soft and even light effects, crucial for achieving professional-looking results. Users can precisely control both the light brightness and color temperature, allowing for fine-tuning of the lighting environment to match specific creative visions or ambient conditions. The adjustable color temperature range enables seamless transitions between warmer and cooler light, mimicking various natural and artificial light sources. This flexibility ensures that the light can adapt to diverse shooting requirements, from intimate portraits to expansive product shots.
A key functional aspect of the FL series is its inherent flexibility. Designed to be extremely thin and fabric-like, the LED light can be folded and shaped into different configurations. This unique characteristic allows users to sculpt light in innovative ways, creating custom lighting patterns and effects that would be challenging to achieve with traditional rigid light panels. Whether it's wrapping around a subject for soft, diffused light or bending to fit into tight spaces, the FL series empowers users with unprecedented control over light direction and spread.
The system also integrates advanced wireless control capabilities, enhancing its functional versatility. It features a 433MHz grouping system, which supports up to 6 groups and 16 channels. This robust system ensures strong anti-interference performance, allowing multiple FL lights to be controlled simultaneously or independently from a distance. Furthermore, the lights can be controlled via a smartphone APP through Bluetooth, offering a modern and convenient interface for adjusting settings. This dual-control mechanism provides users with flexibility in how they manage their lighting setup, whether through a dedicated remote or their mobile device.
Powering the FL series is equally flexible, with options for both Lithium battery and DC power supply. This dual-power capability ensures that the lights can be used in various locations, from studio environments with access to mains power to remote outdoor shoots where portability and battery operation are essential. The inclusion of a dedicated controller simplifies operation, providing intuitive dials and buttons for quick adjustments to brightness, color temperature, groups, and channels.
The FL series is designed with ease of use and portability as paramount features. Its compact and lightweight body, combined with powerful illumination capabilities, makes it an ideal choice for lighting in small and narrow rooms where space is at a premium. The ability to fold the light into different shapes not only aids in creative lighting but also significantly reduces its footprint for storage and transport. Each model comes with a portable bag, further emphasizing its travel-friendly design.
Installation is straightforward, beginning with unfolding the flexible LED light and stretching its foldable bracket. This bracket then easily attaches to the back of the LED light. A connect holder is used to mount the entire assembly onto a light stand, providing stability and precise positioning. The controller, which serves as the brain of the system, connects to the LED light via an output control port, while the adapter plugs into the power input. This modular design ensures quick setup and breakdown, saving valuable time on location.
Operating the FL light is intuitive. A long press of the power switch turns the unit on or off. Adjusting light brightness is as simple as turning a select dial, allowing for smooth transitions from 10% to 100% intensity. Similarly, another select dial controls the color temperature, enabling users to shift between 3300K and 5600K to achieve the desired mood or match existing light sources.
For multi-light setups, the grouping and channel selection features are invaluable. By pressing the GR/CH button, users can cycle through channels and groups, assigning each light to a specific configuration. This allows for complex lighting arrangements where different lights can be controlled independently or as part of a synchronized group. The remote control (RC-A5, sold separately) mirrors these functions, offering the convenience of adjusting settings without directly interacting with the controller.
The smartphone APP control via Bluetooth further enhances the user experience. After a simple pairing process, users can manage all light settings from their mobile device. This is particularly useful in situations where the controller is out of reach or when precise adjustments are needed from a distance. The app provides a visual interface for controlling brightness, color temperature, groups, and channels, making it a powerful tool for modern photographers and videographers.
The FL series also supports the use of separately sold softboxes, which are tailored to fit different models. These softboxes further refine the light quality, providing even softer and more diffused illumination, which is often preferred for portraiture and beauty work. The ability to combine multiple FL lights and shape them in various forms underscores the system's adaptability and potential for creative expression.
While the manual primarily focuses on operational aspects, it implicitly highlights several maintenance considerations to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the FL series LED lights. The primary maintenance feature is the robust design itself, which aims to minimize the need for frequent repairs.
Users are advised to always keep the product dry and avoid using it in rain or damp conditions. This is a critical preventive measure, as the device does not have a waterproof function. Protecting the electronics from moisture is fundamental to preventing damage and ensuring reliable operation.
Disassembly of the unit is explicitly discouraged. Should any repairs become necessary, the product must be sent to an authorized maintenance center. This policy ensures that any servicing is performed by qualified technicians using appropriate tools and genuine parts, thereby preserving the integrity of the device and preventing further damage that might arise from unauthorized tampering.
The product's built-in lithium battery also comes with specific maintenance guidelines. Users are warned against disassembling, impacting, squeezing, or putting the battery into fire. These precautions are standard for lithium-ion batteries and are crucial for safety and battery health. The manual also advises against using or storing the product if the ambient temperature exceeds 50°C, and to charge the product with its specialized charger, operating it within defined voltage and temperature ranges. Adhering to these guidelines helps extend the battery's lifespan and prevents potential hazards.
Regular cleaning of the exterior, likely with a soft, dry cloth, would also contribute to maintaining the device's appearance and preventing dust buildup from affecting its performance. Although not explicitly detailed as a "maintenance feature," the modular design with separate components (LED light, controller, adapter) simplifies troubleshooting and potential part replacement, as individual components can be isolated and addressed if an issue arises.
The warranty information provided in the manual outlines the terms for maintenance service, emphasizing the importance of a valid warranty card. This system ensures that users can access professional support when needed, reinforcing the commitment to product reliability and customer satisfaction. The Godox after-sale service call number is provided for direct assistance, offering a clear channel for users to seek help. By following these guidelines, users can ensure their FL series LED lights remain in excellent working condition for an extended period.
