Godox Retro Lux Cadet flash

Godox Retro Lux Cadet flash

The Retro Lux Cadet combines a classic design with compact dimensions to create a flash that fits onto a camera’s hot shoe or can be used separately with a synchronisation cable. It operates in both manual and automatic modes, so you can adjust the power yourself or let the flash select it. Take a look at our other products too battery-powered flashes.

Manual and automatic flash

In manual mode, the power can be adjusted in seven steps from full power to 1/64th of full power. As well as the power setting, the panel display shows the aperture (F2–16) and the shooting distance, which ranges from 0.5 to 4 metres. In Auto mode A, the default settings are f/2.8 and ISO 100.

Built-in battery

The Salam has a built-in 1,700 mAh lithium battery that is charged via a USB-C cable, so no separate batteries are required. A single charge provides around 620 full-power flashes, and the charging time at full power is approximately 2.5 seconds.
