The Godox Litemons LC30Bi Bi-Color LED Light was designed to be an affordable, compact, and lightweight lighting solution for content creators, and anyone shooting tabletop products, however, just like most lights it could be used for just about any purpose.
The LC30Bi weighs just 299g / 10.54 oz and it has physical dimensions of 76mm x 76mm x 92mm / 2.99″ x 2.99″ x 3.62″.
You can attach optional diffusion accessories to soften the light if need be.
The light features a small-sized LED display and a couple of buttons and a dial.
The light is Kelvin color temperature adjustable from 3200-6500K. There is no +/- G/M adjustment.
As I mentioned earlier, while this light could be used for a wide array of purposes, it is certainly more suited for use for live streaming or tabletop video and photography shots.
The LC30Bi can be run via the included DC adapter or by two NP-F970 batteries (not included). The light draws 38W.
LC30Bi has eleven special effect modes including flash 1, flash 2, flash 3, storm 1, storm 2, storm 3, broken bulb, TV, candle, fire, and fireworks.
As far as output is concerned, above you can see how much the LC30Bi has at various CCT settings. The maximum output is claimed to be 8890lx at a distance of 1m when the light is used at 4300K.
In the kit you get the following items:
The Godox Litemons LC30Bi Bi-Color LED Light retails for $99 USD.
If you use the light with the optional ML-AK accessory kit, that comes with a grip and battery box you can hand hold the light in situations where you need to illuminate a subject as you are moving around.
