The Godox KNOWLED MG2400R K1 is designed for the serious cinematography, broadcast and commercial lighting market. With a maximum input power of up to 2650 W, it offers substantial output and is marketed as a “full-color monster”. The unit features a color temperature range from 1800 K up to 10 000 K, adjustable green/magenta shift from -100% to +100% for fine matching, and multiple color-modes including CCT, HSI, RGBW, Gels, XY and built-in FX modes. The color accuracy is claimed to be CRI ~96 and TLCI ~95.
The light uses Godox’s proprietary G-mount system, which supports large modifiers and offers compatibility with previous accessories in the KNOWLED line so you can leverage existing modifiers and build an ecosystem. Thanks to optimized optics, the unit delivers a clean beam with high efficiency and an even spread. The fixture and control unit are both weather‐resistant (IP65-ish rating) and built with heavy-duty cooling and rugged design suited for demanding shoot environments.
Control is very flexible: you can operate the unit via onboard controls, via the supplied controller, via wired DMX/RDM, via Art-Net/sACN over Ethernet, Bluetooth app control, and wirelessly via LumenRadio CRMX. Dimming is 0-100% with selectable curves (linear, S-curve, exponential, logarithmic) and it supports a high-speed mode for flicker-free operation at high frame-rates.

Why it’s good / vibe & use-cases:
This fixture is aimed at high-end production: think large studio sets, big commercial productions, film sets, broadcast studios and large-scale lighting rigs. If you need not just bright white light but full creative color control (RGB, gels, XY, effects) plus rugged build and top control flexibility, this is in the “serious pro kit” category. The G-mount ecosystem means you can use large modifiers, and the weather-resistance means you can take it outdoors or into more challenging locations. The dimming curves and high-speed mode make it appropriate for multi-camera, high-frame-rate work.
Tips:
Ensure your power infrastructure (100–240 V AC, sufficient amperage) can handle the ~2650 W draw and the associated heat/cooling needs.
Use the G-mount modifiers to shape your light output – given the high output and size/weight (21 kg head!) you’ll likely need strong stands and secure mounting.
If you’re mixing it with other lights, use the G/M tuning and color-mode consistency to match color across fixtures.
In outdoor or tricky conditions, take advantage of the weather-resistance, but still use proper safety rigging, cable runs and protective covers.
Use the wireless and wired remote control capabilities (DMX/CRMX/Ethernet/Bluetooth) to integrate into lighting grids and remote rigs rather than relying purely on manual head operation.
