Godox SK400II Monolight Overview
The Godox SK400II (and its newer version, the SK400II-V, often used interchangeably in discussions) is a highly regarded 400Ws studio monolight, celebrated for providing a powerful and reliable lighting solution at an accessible price point. It's a popular choice for both aspiring and established photographers setting up home studios or needing robust auxiliary lights for product photography, portraits, and lifestyle shoots.
A core strength of the SK400II is its built-in Godox 2.4G Wireless X System, which allows for seamless remote control of flash power and triggering via optional Godox X-series transmitters. This eliminates the need for messy sync cables and provides excellent flexibility in multi-flash setups. The flash delivers a consistent 5600K daylight-balanced color temperature for accurate color rendition. It boasts fast recycling times (typically 0.1-1.5 seconds) and a wide power adjustment range from 1/16 to full power, giving photographers precise control over their light output.
