Godox Light Stick Overview

Light up creatively with the black LC500 Mini Bi-Color LED Light Stick from Godox – a compact, portable, and lightweight 18" wand for shooting anywhere. The Mini is smaller than the brand's original LC500 stick while bringing additional functionalities. You can easily hold it in your hand using its detachable grip or even hide it unobtrusively in tight areas. The light stick offers a combination of tungsten and daylight LEDs to give you a bi-color output .

The LC500 Mini lets you make your selections using onboard controls or the Godox Light app and your smartphone. Yet another example of the light's versatility is 11 built-in special effects to elevate the look of your projects. A built-in battery provides 100%, 5600K continuous output for about 45 minutes. The light ships with a carry bag to add to its portability.

Compact Size, Bright Output
Another benefit of using LEDs is low power draw, and although the compact LC500 Mini consumes just 20W of power, it outputs up to 1390 lux at 3.3' (5600K), providing great brightness for your work.
Highly Adjustable and Accurate Colors
Both CCT color temperature and intensity settings are continuously adjustable, from 2500 to 8500K and 0 to 100%, respectively. Furthermore, CRI and TLCI ratings of 95 and 96 indicate accurate color performance.
Handheld Operation and Control
This easy-to-use light allows quick setup and operation, even one-handed. You can use the intuitive local display and buttons to precisely adjust color temperature, brightness, and other settings. The Godox Light app is another option to control the fixture via Bluetooth from up to 98.4' away.
11 Effects
The LC500 Mini comes with 11 included lighting effects to help you simulate different scenarios.
  • Choose from flash, lightning, cloudy, broken bulb, television, candle, fire, fireworks, explosion, welding, and SOS.
Rechargeable Battery
This light stick is powered by an integrated battery that can be recharged in approximately 1.4 hours. A USB-C cable is included for convenience.
Silent Fan
You can turn the fan off if absolute silence is needed. The LC500 Mini will still operate at up to 50% maximum brightness.
2-Leaf Barndoors and Mounting
  • The included 2-leaf barndoors narrow the beam angle to direct the output where it's most needed. The light spread can be directed to the main subject for emphasis or used to flag areas that require reduced lighting.
  • Equipped with double-sided 1/4"-20 threads for easy mounting onto a separately available tripod or light stand.

Godox Light Stick Reviews

Lightweight & Eat to Use

By Janelle
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-29

This mini light stick is lightweight and easy to use. I've used it for product photos by clipping it to stand, and it helped eliminate shadows and evened out overall light. I look forward to using it for outdoor portrait sessions. Love that it's rechargeable.

Works great for small areas

It works good for small areas. It puts enough light in there and it’s great for light painting far away.

Does the USB-C provide enough power to have this light operate continuously at full power without ever running out of battery?
Asked by: ian
If you use a high output PD AC adapter and PD cable, you can power the Godox LC500 Mini Bi-Color LED Light Stick (Black, 18"). It draws 20W of power, so you will need a supply that will deliver that or more. The Belkin Boost Charge 37W 2-Port USB-A/USB-C PD Wall Charger (B&H # BEWCB007DQWH) is a suitable AC adapter, and for a USB-C PD cable, you can use the Belkin BoostCharge Braided USB-C Cable (6.6', Black), B&H # BECB14BT2MBK.

so what is the RGG and the bi color differences? Can the RBG do the white color? if yes then RBG can also do like the Bi Color?
Asked by: khanh
The difference between the RGB mode and the bi-color mode of the Godox LC500R Mini RGB LED Light Stick (White, 18") is that the former consists of red, green, and blue LEDs that can be mixed together to create other colors, while the latter uses a different set of LEDs on the light stick to give you colors expressed only in "color temperature" or "Kelvin". Bi-color mode ranges from a warm color known as "tungsten" or "3200 Kelvin" and is adjustable to the white light range known as "daylight" or "5600 Kelvin".
