It seems like we can’t move for compact 100w RGB LED lights at NAB 2025! SmallRig showed DIYP the RC 100C, a new compact COB LED light that packs a punch with 100 watts of power and full RGB capabilities. This portable lighting fixture is designed to meet the needs of filmmakers and content creators looking for versatility, performance, and convenience in a small package.
The RC 100C stands out because of its small footprint while offering full RGB support. Whether you’re working in a studio or out on location, this light can be rigged for a variety of uses. Let’s take a closer look at its key features:
A Tiny Powerhouse with Big Flexibility
One of its key features is the ability to run on Sony NPF batteries, making it extremely portable. For those looking for more power options, it also has an integrated V-mount plate, meaning you can use V-mount batteries, which adds even more flexibility. There’s also a DC input, so you can power it from wall outlets when needed.
In terms of accessories, the RC 100c comes with options to switch to a full Bowen’s mount, opening up a wide array of lighting modifiers and accessories to expand your setup. This means the light can be adapted to various needs, whether it’s for soft light, spot lighting, or something more creative.
A Full Spectrum of Creativity
Chris from YC Imaging explains that one of the main attractions for him with this new light was the variety of power options. As someone who has used various lighting setups, he sees this as solving a key problem, offering portability with flexible power options. With the ability to use Sony NPF batteries, V-mounts, and DC power, it’s clear this light was built to perform in a wide range of environments. Plus, the full RGB support means it can be used in nearly any situation, from daylight balance to creative colour lighting.
And of course, Chris pointed out the stylish red accent that runs around the fixture, giving it a sleek, modern look. SmallRig isn’t just about performance, they’ve added a little flair too!

As for availability, the Smallrig RC 100C is already available for preorder for $229.99. For filmmakers or creators who need a versatile, compact light that doesn’t compromise on power or features, the RC 100C is certainly one to consider.
