Godox has introduced the MG4K, a 2000W LED fixture positioned as a direct competitor to traditional 4K HMIs. At 10 kg (22 lbs) without the yoke and 12.5 kg (27.5 lbs) with the yoke, it’s about half the weight of a standard 4K HMI head, making it easier for a single person to operate. Let’s have a look at this new light. Godox has been steadily expanding their lineup with the M300R RGBWW LED for film and broadcast, the high-output KNOWLED MG6K, and the MG2400R, a 2650W, full-color, G-Mount fixture. Most recently, we looked at the KNOWLED AM1600R mat light, an inflatable panel available in two sizes. The new MG4K continues that push, this time positioned as a direct LED alternative to a 4K HMI. Optimal brightness enhancement. Image credit: Godox Godox MG4K – eEfficiency and power use The MG4K runs on 2000W, about half the draw of a comparable HMI. A built-in power limit lets it operate safely on household outlets or smaller generators, which can be useful on location. According to the company, the fixture produces 25,600 lux at 5600K from 5m (16.4 ft) when paired with a 30° reflector. It covers a CCT range of 2800K to 10,000K with ±100% green/magenta adjustment, giving flexibility when balancing mixed sources and allowing precise color reproduction on set. Advanced cooling system that improves heat dissipation by 67%.
