Godox RS60Bi/R Lighting System Introduced – Multiple Power Supply Options & an Accessory Ecosystem

by Alexandra Thompson7 days ago

Johnnie stopped by the Godox booth at NAB 2025 to speak with Joel Herrera about their new lighting system built around the RS60Bi and RS60R – compact 60-watt LED monolights designed for flexible, location-friendly setups. These lights aren’t necessarily made for lighting faces – as Joel put it, they’re about lighting places. Think tabletop setups, food photography, product work, or creating depth and texture in backgrounds. Let’s look a bit closer.

Last month, Godox introduced the C30Bi and C30R LED Lights, but at NAB, we got a first look at a new kit that Joel described as quite unique because of the variety of power supply options available. Notably, while the system is built around the RS60Bi and RS60R, it’s also available in configurations using the MS60Bi and MS60R. The key difference? The MS versions include built-in CRMX for wireless DMX control, making them a better fit for users who need more advanced lighting integration.

Multiple power supply options / Extensive accessory ecosystem

The two standout features of this system, according to Joel, are its versatile power options and the range of its optical accessory ecosystem. Both are designed to make the light kits as adaptable and creative as possible.

Godox optical ecosystem

The ecosystem includes a front-mounted Fresnel lens, a lens reflector for boosting output, and a magnetic modifier kit for quick diffusion and shaping. There are also beam boosters like the DL5 Lite and BeamLight S20 for creating narrow, high-intensity spots, a collapsible silicone diffusion dome, and even mini projection attachments (SP36 and SP50K) with swappable lenses. Altogether, it’s a modular system that gives you a lot of control for such a compact light.

Powering the lights

Joel highlighted the system’s versatile power options as his favorite feature. The lights can run on a USB-C rechargeable battery (giving you just under two hours at full output, depending on conditions), an NP-F battery via the 14V DC input, a standard light socket using the included E27 adapter, or V-mount batteries with the optional MS60NPA adapter. They also support AC power through the MS60PA01 adapter, which works with high-efficiency GaN USB-C PD chargers.

Build it your way

Julian told us that there are three kit options to choose from, depending on how much you want to start with. The single-light setup includes a battery, charger, and basic mount. The two-light and four-light kits come fully loaded – with not just the lights but everything from the “optical ecosystem” as well. That includes modifiers, beam boosters, domes, and more. Joel also mentioned that if you prefer to start with just one light, you’ll be able to purchase accessories separately as needed.

Price and availability

All lights and kits are available now. The RS60Bi (bi-color) and RS60R (RGB) models are primarily offered as single units or in two-light kits. The RS60Bi (bi-color) retails for $199, while the RS60R (RGB) is priced at $259. The two-light kit is priced at $589 (RS60Bi) and $699 (RS60R) and includes all accessories.

The MS60Bi and MS60R models are offered as single, two-light, and four-light kits. The MS60Bi is priced at $329 for the single, $1099 for the 2-light kit and $1999 for the 4-light kit (both kits include all accessories). The MS60R is priced at $429 for the single light, $1299 for the 2-light kit, and $2499 for the 4-light kit (both kits include all accessories).
