Godox has unveiled the KNOWLED AM800R, an 800W full‑color LED inflatable mat light first shown at NAB 2026. The fixture measures 4 feet by 4 feet (approximately 1.2 m × 1.2 m) when inflated, providing a large, soft light surface for video and photography work.
The AM800R delivers a tunable color temperature range from 1,800K to 10,000K, allowing creators to shift from warm tungsten‑like tones to cool daylight without changing gels. Both the light body and its controller carry an IP65 weather‑resistance rating, making the unit suitable for outdoor shoots in varied conditions.
Inflation is handled by an integrated pump that brings the mat to 8 PSI in about one minute, enabling rapid deployment on location. When deflated, the unit packs down to a compact size for transport, addressing a common pain point for creators who need portable, high‑output lighting.
For content creators, the combination of a broad, even light source, full‑color flexibility, and rugged weather sealing means fewer compromises when shooting on location. The large surface reduces the need for multiple smaller fixtures, while the IP65 rating protects against rain or dust, extending shooting windows and reducing gear‑related downtime.
Godox positions the AM800R as a versatile tool for indie filmmakers, live‑streamers, and photographers who require powerful, controllable light that can be set up quickly and moved easily. Availability details and pricing were not disclosed in the source announcement, but the product’s feature set signals a new option for creators seeking inflatable, weather‑ready lighting solutions.
