Product Information

Full details

The Godox LDP18Bi is a slim, bi-color LED panel designed for vloggers, livestreamers, and content creators who require high-quality, flattering light in a portable form factor. Its side-mounted chip technology creates an exceptionally soft illumination that enhances skin tones and textures, making it a powerful tool for portrait work and run-and-gun production. While it excels at versatility and mobility, users should note that the unit relies on external NP-F batteries or DC power, meaning you will need to manage power supply accessories for long-duration field shoots.

FAQs

Can I use this light for outdoor interviews?

Yes, provided you have charged NP-F batteries to power the unit, as it does not have an internal rechargeable battery.

Is the light dimmable?

Yes, the intensity can be adjusted via the onboard controls.

What does the 97 TLCI rating mean?

TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) measures how accurately a light renders colors; a rating of 97 is very high, ensuring natural and professional-looking skin tones.

Can I control this light with a smartphone app?

The LDP18Bi is designed for manual control via its integrated display screen.

Are batteries included in the box?

No, NP-F batteries and chargers are typically sold separately.

Can I mount this on a standard tripod?

Yes, it features a standard mounting interface compatible with most cold-shoe or 1/4-inch thread tripod mounts.

Troubleshooting

The light turns on but flickers during use.

Verify that your NP-F battery is fully charged. If using DC power, ensure the cable is pushed firmly into the DC input port.

The display screen is blank.

Check that the battery is properly seated in the mount or the DC power cable is active. Try a different power source to rule out a faulty adapter.

Colors appear inaccurate in my footage.

Check that the white balance on your camera is set to match the color temperature displayed on the LDP18Bi screen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Powering the Light: For studio use, connect the included DC power adapter to the rear port. For field work, attach a standard NP-F series battery to the battery mount on the back of the panel.
  2. Mounting: The light includes a standard cold-shoe mount attachment. Ensure the locking ring is tightened firmly when mounting to a camera cage or light stand to prevent shifting.
  3. Adjustments: Use the rear control dials to toggle between intensity and color temperature settings. The display will show current values in real-time.
  4. Maintenance: Always store the unit in a dry, dust-free environment. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the front diffuser panel; avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the LED surface. Remove batteries when the unit is in long-term storage to prevent leakage.
