Description

The ML40Bi and ML40R fit in your palm. That's not marketing — it's genuinely the first thing you notice. At 97 × 46 × 91mm and about 422g, it disappears into a bag pocket and you stop thinking about whether to bring it.

Output on its own is modest, but snap on the ML-L10 Lens Reflector and things change fast. Godox rates it at up to 24× brighter than bare output on the Bi model (16× on the R). In practice, that means enough punch for outdoor fill or a tight interview setup without dragging out a bigger light.

Battery life is 42 minutes at full brightness, and it charges via USB-C at up to 60W while shooting. The BG02 grip adds runtime if you need it. There's also a magnetic mount built in — which sounds like a small thing until you're on a run-and-gun shoot and you're sticking it to the side of a car door instead of fumbling for a clamp.

The two versions differ mainly in range: the Bi covers 2800K–6500K, the R stretches to 1800K–10000K with 14 FX modes instead of 11. Both score around CRI 96 / TLCI 96, so colors don't need much fixing in post. Control is via on-board buttons, Bluetooth through the Godox Light App, or NFC for fast pairing.

The Godox ML40Bi / ML40R is a palm-sized, portable LED light built for mobile creators. Compact yet powerful, it delivers significantly boosted output with the ML-L10 Lens Reflector. With a built-in battery for cable-free shooting and support for the versatile Godox Mount accessory system, it’s ideal for outdoor shoots, street photography, run-and-gun filmmaking, and compact lighting setups on the go.

Up to 24× Boost

The all-new Lens Reflector ML-L10, purpose-built for the ML40Bi and ML40R, dramatically boosts light intensity—up to 24 × brighter than the ML40Bi (16 × for the ML40R) without a modifier. With focused beams and stable output, it delivers professional-grade illumination from a compact form.
