Review Summary

These lights have been great out of the box. I was looking for an alternative to lighting with strobe, I'm an architectural photographer and was looking for a better way for me to SEE the light so I could better shape the light. I know how to use strobes, but I need to see what the light is doing all the time, not just when the flash bursts. So after some serious research I came across these light lights. No I know size matters, that's why I chose them. I travel a lot, I see what others carry, I know what I used to carry, and these have replaced some of my bigger heavier lights. I also use them to shoot testimonial talking head interviews and associated headshots, they work fabulous for that too. Now they don't replace everything in the toolbar, but by God they make things a lot lighter.

The Godox RS100Bi and RS100R are purpose-built location lights designed for creators who need powerful, reliable output in a compact, travel-ready form. Delivering up to 28,600 lux at 1 meter (5600K), these lights provide impressive brightness in a body small enough to fit easily into a backpack. Whether you're shooting interviews, content, portraits, or run-and-gun video, the RS100 series ensures you always have dependable lighting wherever you go.
Engineered with a high-performance optical system, the RS100 series maximizes output while maintaining portability. The included reflector boosts light intensity to achieve long-throw illumination, making it ideal for both close-up and mid-range lighting setups. Despite its compact footprint, the RS100 delivers professional-level brightness that competes with larger fixtures.
Both models offer ultra-precise dimming from 0.0% to 100.0% in fine 0.1% increments. This allows for seamless exposure adjustments and smooth transitions, especially critical for video work. The 0% minimum output ensures clean fade-outs and controlled low-light performance without stepping or flickering.
The RS100Bi provides accurate white light with an adjustable range of 2800K to 6500K, making it ideal for matching ambient conditions or achieving natural skin tones.
The RS100R expands creative control with full RGB capability and a wider 1800K to 10000K range, along with advanced color modes including HSI, RGBW, X-Y, Gel, and FX. This enables full control over hue, saturation, temperature, and dynamic lighting effects for cinematic production.
Designed for mobility, the RS100 series features an integrated battery that delivers up to 52 minutes of runtime at full power. Fast USB-C PD charging minimizes downtime, supporting charging during use and reaching a full charge in approximately 2 hours with a 60W+ PD charger. This makes it ideal for location work where speed and flexibility matter.
A built-in runtime countdown display gives you real-time power awareness, helping you plan shoots with confidence. The expanded cooling system ensures stable performance during extended sessions, preventing overheating and maintaining consistent output. A 1/4"-20 threaded mounting point allows flexible rigging on stands, cages, and support systems.
With NFC tap-to-pair functionality, the RS100Bi and RS100R connect instantly to the Godox Light App\u2014no scanning or complicated setup required. This enables quick adjustments directly from your smartphone, streamlining your workflow on set.
In addition to onboard controls, the RS100 series supports Bluetooth app control and wired DMX/RDM integration (DMX-C2 required). This allows seamless integration into both simple mobile setups and advanced multi-light production environments.
Built around the widely used Godox S-Mount system, the RS100 lights are compatible with a broad range of modifiers including softboxes, lanterns, reflectors, beam modifiers, and projection attachments. This enables fast accessory swaps and flexible lighting setups for any shooting style.
The RS100Bi1K and RS100R1K kits include the compact SP36K projection attachment, designed for precise beam shaping and creative effects. Featuring interchangeable lenses and a 360° rotatable body, it allows for detailed light control in a significantly smaller footprint compared to traditional projection systems. Ideal for pattern projection, spotlighting, and cinematic effects.
The RS100 series features a streamlined, one-piece construction built for durability and portability. Its rugged yet lightweight design makes it ideal for outdoor shoots, travel, and fast-paced production environments.
From solo shooters to full production teams, the RS100Bi and RS100R are built to adapt. With powerful output, flexible control options, professional connectivity, and a full ecosystem of accessories, these lights deliver the performance and versatility needed for modern content creation.
