Overview

This document describes the Godox RGB Tube Light TL30, a versatile lighting device designed for a wide range of photographic and videographic applications. The TL30 is a multifunctional RGB light that combines dual color temperature capabilities with high light brightness and wireless adjustment, making it suitable for various shooting scenarios.

Function Description

The Godox TL30 is a constant light source that offers three primary operating modes: LED CCT mode, RGB mode, and a special effects mode. These modes allow users to achieve diverse lighting effects and adapt to different creative needs.

In LED CCT mode, the light provides adjustable color temperature ranging from 2700K to 6500K. This allows for precise control over the warmth or coolness of the light, mimicking various ambient lighting conditions. Users can fine-tune the color temperature by turning the select dial, with options for both normal (100-value) and quick (500-value) adjustments. Additionally, brightness can be adjusted from 0% to 100% using the DIM button and select dial, offering granular control over light intensity. The hue can also be adjusted from -50 to +50 in this mode, providing further color correction capabilities.

The RGB mode, also referred to as HSI mode, enables the creation of colorful lighting. In this mode, users can adjust the hue (H) from 0° to 360° and saturation (S) from 0 to 100. This allows for a full spectrum of colors to be produced, offering creative freedom for mood lighting, artistic effects, and color accents. Adjustments for both hue and saturation can be made in normal (1-value) or quick (10-value) increments using the select dial.

The Special Effects mode offers 13 categories divided into 37 distinct situational light effects. These effects are designed to simulate various real-world lighting scenarios, such as RGB cycle, flash, laser, lightning, broken bulb, TV, candle, fire, firework, police car, fire truck, ambulance, and SOS. Each category typically includes three variations (I, II, III) that differ in speed or intensity, allowing users to select the most appropriate effect for their scene. For example, the "Flash" effect can be set to slow, medium, or quick speed, while "Fire" offers firewood, campfire, and fire hazard variations.

The TL30 features a built-in lithium battery, providing approximately 1 hour of continuous lighting at 100% brightness when fully charged. It can also be powered directly via a USB Type-C cable. Charging the device takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes using a 5V/2A charger.

Usage Features

The Godox TL30 is designed for ease of use and versatility, incorporating several features that enhance its functionality and portability.

Control Interface: The device is equipped with a power switch, MOD button, DIM button, and a select dial. The OLED display provides clear feedback on the current mode, color temperature, brightness, hue, saturation, and battery status.

  • Power Switch: A long press (1.5s) turns the device on or off.
  • MOD Button: Used to switch between CCT, HSI (RGB), and FX (Special Effects) modes. In CCT mode, it also allows for hue adjustment (G/M). In Bluetooth mode, a long press enters the Bluetooth interface.
  • DIM Button: Activates brightness adjustment in CCT mode.
  • Select Dial: The primary control for adjusting parameters such as color temperature, brightness, hue, saturation, and selecting special effects categories. It also serves as a confirmation button when pressed down.

Remote Control: The TL30 supports remote control via a smartphone APP called "Godox Light." This APP is available for both Android and Apple systems and allows for multi-light control. Users can connect to the device via Bluetooth. The APP provides detailed guidance and offers a convenient way to manage lighting settings from a distance. The Bluetooth wireless control distance is approximately 30 meters.

Magnetic Absorption: Both ends of the TL30 feature magnetic absorption, allowing it to be easily attached to iron surfaces such as walls or elevator doors. This feature provides flexible mounting options and enables creative light setups without the need for additional stands or clamps.

Portability: The TL30 is lightweight and portable, making it easy to handle and transport. Its compact size (Φ42*300MM) allows for flexible angle adjustments and use in confined spaces. It can be held by hand for dynamic lighting or combined with other units to create more elaborate lighting groups.

Included Accessories: The standard kit includes the TL30 body, three metal pieces and three pairs of 3M pasters for magnetic mounting, a portable bag, a Type-C charging cable, a lanyard, and an instruction manual.

It also does not cover damages from non-authorized repairs, modified identification information, use of unauthorized software, force majeure, or issues not attributable to the product itself. Normal discoloration, abrasion, and consumption are not considered breakage under warranty.
