Kino Flo Diva Lux 4 RGB LED Light Panel Review – Brighter, Smarter & More Precise

Share with friends

Some lights just turn on, others change how you see everything. The Kino Flo Diva Lux 4 belongs to the second kind. It’s the evolution of Kino Flo’s legacy in soft, natural lighting, now brighter, smarter, and more precise than ever.

At first glance, the Diva Lux 4 keeps the familiar slim rectangular shape of the earlier Diva-Lite panels. But the moment you power it on, it’s clear this is something new. It now runs on Kino Flo’s True Match® firmware paired with a brand-new RGBwWcW LED engine, a combination that completely transforms its performance.

This new system delivers richer colors, cleaner whites, and remarkably consistent output across all color temperatures. Every adjustment feels smoother and more cinematic, giving you total control over how your light behaves on set. The result? A fixture that doesn’t just illuminate your scene, it elevates it.

1. 400 Watts of Power at All White and Most Color Points

One of the standout features is that the Diva Lux 4 can deliver full 400 W output not only at standard white settings, but also through most of its color settings. That means when you shift from pure white to tinted or colored modes, you don’t lose much brightness. Kino Flo calls this “full power at all white points and most color points.”

2. Four Independently Controlled Zones

The Diva Lux 4 is divided into 4 separate zones across its panel, and each zone can be controlled independently. This lets you create gradients, colored edges, split lighting, or soft transitions within one fixture. You can dial different brightness or color in each zone while they all run from the same main unit.

3. RGBwWcW LED Engine with Enhanced White & Color Spectrum

This light uses a new LED architecture called RGBwWcW. That means along with the usual red, green, blue diodes, it includes warm white, cool white, and “c” (a third white) diodes. The goal is to cover a broader “white space” and color gamut so your white tones look natural and your colors stay rich.

4. Very High Color Accuracy (TLCI / TM-30 Ratings)

The Diva Lux 4 achieves top marks in color fidelity. You can adjust the color temperature from 2700K to 9900K, covering a range from warm to cool tones. At both 3200 K and 5600 K, its TLCI is rated 99, which is almost perfect. Its TM-30 metric (Rf) also scores very high (around 96), meaning it renders different colors (especially skin tones) faithfully.

5. Control Protocols – DMX, RDM, sACN, ArtNet, CRMX Built-In

You have many ways to control this light. Onboard, there’s a touchscreen and dial. For a wired remote control, it supports DMX In/Out, RDM, sACN, and ArtNet over Ethernet. For wireless, it ships with LumenRadio CRMX built in. If you prefer, the unit can be swapped to use City Theatrical Multiverse wireless later.

6. Wide Beam Angle of 106°

This fixture offers a wide 106° beam angle, giving you broad, soft coverage rather than a sharp, narrow beam. That means fewer hot spots and a more even wrap of light, good when you want a gentle softbox-like effect without extra modifiers.

7. Passive Ethernet Passthrough & Data Pass-Through

In its design, Kino Flo included passive Ethernet passthrough and data pass-through for both DMX and Ethernet lines. That means you can daisy-chain multiple units more cleanly, and data signals (DMX or Ethernet) can continue beyond one fixture without needing extra splitters.

8. Removable Diffusion & Accessory Ready

A diffusion panel is removable, so you can choose whether to soften the light or keep it more direct (with harder edges). It’s also compatible with light modifiers like SnapBag and SnapGrid from third-party makers. These modifiers help shape, control spill, or narrow the beam while maintaining good coverage.

9. Firmware Updates via USB-C

To keep it future-ready, this lamp supports firmware updates over USB-C. As Kino Flo improves software, adds features, or fixes bugs, you can update without sending the light back to a service center.

10. AC and DC Power Support

The Diva Lux 4 accepts 100–240 VAC standard power, so it works in many countries out of the box. It also supports 48 V DC power in certain setups. That dual support provides flexibility when power availability is challenging or when you prefer battery-backed setups.

11. Weight and Dimension

Fully built (with yoke, pin mount, diffusion), the fixture weighs about 32.9 lbs (14.9 kg). Its panel is roughly 33 x 20 inches in dimension. For a unit that offers so much light and control, it remains within a manageable size for studio or location use.

Pricing & Availability

The Kino Flo Diva Lux 4 is being listed by major dealers and rental houses. In U.S. markets, fixture-only prices are approximately USD 3,800 to 4,100, though package kits (with stands, modifiers, mobile mounting hardware) can push that higher. Some dealers are offering preorders; stock availability varies by region. In specialty lighting markets (Europe, Asia), units might carry additional import fees or shipping lead times.
