Godox is expanding its lineup with two versatile, compact bi-color LED lights: the ML80Bi and ML150Bi. Designed for creators who need reliable, high-quality light on the go, these lights combine portability, professional-grade color accuracy, and flexible power options. If you’re filming interviews, product videos, or cinematic scenes outdoors, the ML80Bi and ML150Bi adapt to your workflow with ease.
The ML80Bi is a lightweight and portable fixture, perfect for solo creators or small setups. It runs on a built-in battery that powers the light for over an hour at full brightness, giving you freedom to work anywhere without needing cables. Its bi-color range lets you adjust the light from warm to cool tones, making it easy to match natural or indoor lighting. With a modular mount system and magnetic accessories, the ML80Bi can be softened or focused depending on your scene, giving you professional results in a compact package.
The ML150Bi is the bigger, more powerful option. It produces stronger light, making it suitable for larger scenes or multi-light setups. It supports multiple power sources, including the built-in battery, NP-F, and V-Mount batteries, so long shoots are never a problem. The ML150Bi also includes DMX control for advanced studio setups, allowing precise adjustments and synchronization with other lights. Like the ML80Bi, it features bi-color adjustment and the modular accessory system, giving creators full control over the light quality and shape.

1. Bi-Color Temperature Range
Both lights can adjust from 2800K to 6500K, which covers everything from warm, cozy tungsten light to bright daylight. This flexibility is crucial because it lets you match the light in your room or location without needing extra filters or gels.
Shooting an interview in a room with fluorescent lights? Set it around 4500K. Want that warm glow during sunset? Drop the temperature to 3200K. The continuous adjustment means you get the exact look you need, reducing the need for color corrections later.
2. Accurate Colors
The Godox ML80Bi & ML150Bi both have a CRI and TLCI rating of around 96. These numbers show how true the light is to real-life colors. High color accuracy is vital for any professional shoot. Skin tones look natural, product colors remain true, and you spend less time fixing unwanted color shifts in editing. Whether you’re making client content or YouTube videos, accurate color is non-negotiable.
3. ML-Z Zoom Lens Reflector
Both lights come with the ML-Z Zoom Lens Reflector, a tool that boosts light output dramatically. Without it, the LEDs are bright, but with the reflector, you get concentrated, powerful light that reaches much farther.
The reflector attaches magnetically, so it’s quick to add or remove. Need a soft, wide spread? Take it off. Need focused intensity? Snap it on. This gives you professional flexibility that’s rare at this price.
4. True Cable-Free Operation
The ML80Bi has a built-in ML-BA battery (6600 mAh), providing over an hour of full-power use. The ML150Bi can also run on V-Mount or NP-F batteries via adapters. No cables mean you can place your lights anywhere, on rooftops, outdoors, or in tricky locations, without worrying about power outlets or tripping hazards. This makes on-location shoots much easier and safer.
5. Modular Design and Accessory Compatibility
Godox designed both lights to work with a range of accessories, making them adaptable to any workflow.
- Godox Mount System: Magnetic accessories and stackable diffusion panels attach directly to the ML-Z reflector. You can layer diffusers for subtle softening or maximum light spread.
- Bowens Mount Compatibility: Use your existing softboxes, beauty dishes, or other Bowens-mount modifiers. This is important because it lets you mix and match gear from other brands like Aputure or Nanlite.
- Battery Options: Use the included ML-BA battery, NP-F batteries you already own, or V-Mount batteries for longer sessions or higher output.
This modular approach keeps you flexible and avoids situations where a dead battery stops your shoot.
6. Easy Control
The Godox ML80Bi & ML150Bi offer multiple ways to control your lights:
- Onboard Controls: Adjust brightness, color temperature, and effects directly on the light. Fast and simple.
- Godox Light App with NFC: Connect your phone via NFC or Bluetooth and control brightness and color from up to 30 meters away. Pair multiple lights for remote adjustments without touching the lights.
- DMX Support (ML150Bi): For studios or theaters, the ML150Bi can integrate with lighting boards for precise control and synchronized setups. The ML80Bi is perfect for smaller shoots or solo creators.
7. 11 Built-In FX Modes for Creative Shots
Both lights come with 11 pre-programmed effects: Flash, Lightning, Cloudy, TV, Candle, Fire, Fireworks, Bloom, Welding, SOS, and Broken Bulb.
- Lightning & Flash: Add dramatic weather effects instantly.
- TV & Candle Flicker: Make scenes with screens or candles look real.
- Fire & Welding: Create practical light effects safely.
- SOS & Emergency Lights: Useful for action scenes or safety demonstrations.
Both lights also dim smoothly from 0 to 100%, without flicker, which is crucial for video work where even minor flickering ruins the shot.
