Godox has officially added the KNOWLED AM800R to its growing AM series of LED lighting solutions. The new model is a 4‑by‑4‑foot inflatable airframe light that delivers RGB output, positioning it as a smaller counterpart to the existing AM1600R. By using an inflatable structure, the unit promises quick deployment and easy transport, attributes that appeal to on‑the‑go creators who need versatile lighting without the bulk of traditional panels.

The AM800R retains the core RGB capabilities of its larger sibling, allowing users to dial in a wide spectrum of colors for video, photography, or live‑stream production. Its mat‑style form factor provides a broad, even surface of illumination, which can be useful for soft‑fill, background lighting, or creative effects. Because it shares the same technological foundation as the AM1600R, creators familiar with Godox’s AM line will find a consistent user experience while benefiting from a more compact footprint.

The product first appeared as a prototype at the NAB Show in April 2026, where attendees got an early look at its inflatable design and LED performance. That early exposure helped generate interest among professionals seeking portable, high‑quality lighting options. The official announcement followed on July 20, 2026, confirming that the AM800R is now part of Godox’s catalog and ready for broader distribution.

By introducing the AM800R, Godox expands its AM line to cover a wider range of studio and field scenarios. The addition addresses a clear market need for lightweight, inflatable lighting that does not sacrifice color accuracy or output strength. For creators who frequently move between locations or work in tight spaces, the AM800R offers a practical solution that can be set up in minutes and stored in a small bag
