A high-output bi-color LED monolight kit built for professional film and broadcast production, offering ~2000 W equivalent power, wide colour temperature range (2800–10,000 K), IP65 weather resistance, G-Mount compatibility and flight-case travel kit convenience.
A high-output bi-color LED monolight kit built for professional film and broadcast production, offering ~2000 W equivalent power, wide colour temperature range (2800–10,000 K), IP65 weather resistance, G-Mount compatibility and flight-case travel kit convenience.
The Godox KNOWLED MG4K Kit1 is designed to deliver cinema-level lighting performance with a compact and efficient footprint. It produces output comparable to a traditional 4 K HMI fixture while consuming only ~2,000 W of input power. The emitting surface is very compact (≈63 mm diameter), helping it act like a near-point-source for modifiers and rigging flexibility. The colour temperature range spans from 2,800 K to 10,000 K, and includes green/magenta shift for precise matching on set.
With advanced features including 0.1% dimming steps, control via DMX/CRMX/Ethernet/Bluetooth/app, a robust cooling system (heat-dissipation improved by ~67%), and an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, the MG4K is built for demanding productions both in studio and on location. The fixture uses the G-Mount system, compatible with a wide modifier ecosystem (reflectors, Fresnels, beam modifiers, softboxes), and it ships as a travel kit in a rugged flight case, making transport and deployment easier.

Why it’s good / Vibe & Use-Cases:
The MG4K Kit1 is ideal for large-scale commercial shoots, film sets, broadcast studios, virtual production spaces and anywhere you need serious output but want the flexibility and lower power draw of LED over traditional HMI. The compact emitting surface makes it more manageable for modifiers and rigging, the weather-sealed build means you can take it outdoors or into challenging locations, and the full control and accessory system means it fits into sophisticated lighting rigs seamlessly. It’s a “big light” in a more efficient, modern package.
Tips:
Use narrow reflectors (15° or 30°) if you want maximum throw; the standard 30° gives high output already.
Given the high output and compact source size, plan for proper heat management and ensure modifiers don’t overheat on long runtime.
If rigging overhead or in tight spaces, the ~10 kg head is lighter than a comparable HMI — still use safe mounting gear.
For matching with other lights (especially mixed tungsten/daylight), use the green/magenta shift and app/DMX control to fine tune across units.
Bring the appropriate flight-case or road case if you’ll transport this often; heavy duty shipping gear will extend life.
