The Falcon Eyes RX-8T is an 18W on-camera flex LED light built for photographers and videographers who need powerful, high-quality illumination in a compact form. Featuring 90 SMD LED bulbs, a CRI of 95, and a consistent 5600K daylight colour temperature, it delivers true-to-life colours and a generous 1,660 lux at just 0.5 metres — making it an exceptional compact light for run-and-gun shooting, interviews, and studio work.
What sets the RX-8T apart is its flexible panel design, borrowed from Falcon Eyes’ acclaimed Roll-Flex series, which allows the head to twist and rotate a full 360° so you can shape and direct light exactly where you need it. Powered via Sony F-mount battery or the included DC 9V-3A AC adaptor, and compatible with optional softboxes (RX-8SB, RX-8OB), this light adapts effortlessly to any shooting environment.
