Godox Lux Senior Overview
Compatible with FUJIFILM, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, and Sony cameras, this Lux Senior Retro Camera Flash from Godox is a diminutive 7 x 4.5 x 3.3" light source with basic features that is small enough to have it regularly mounted on your camera.
With a vintage inspired design and a distinct mint green finish, the unit has a simple dial that correlates ISO with apertures, power levels, and shooting distances. For example, if you want to shoot at 5' with an ISO of 400, the dial lines up f/5.6 and 1/16 power. The flash has an Auto Mode, too, that defaults to f/2.8 at ISO 100.
Control features include an Optical Mode that offers S1 and S2 settings. In S1 the flash will fire in response to another manual or TTL flash, while in S2, the Retro Flash will respond similarly, but ignore the initial flash. The unit runs on its rechargeable battery and comes with a triggering cable and a storage bag.

Godox Lux Senior Reviews
The Sync port is NOT 3.5mm
Just received my Lux Senior. Cool looking unit, and my lightmeter agrees with the markings on its exposure wheel. However I think buyers should be aware that the sync connection on the strobe is NOT a standard 3.5mm. I have about 10 such cables here, most of them Pocket Wizard brand, and none of them will fit in the Lux Senior's port, only the supplied cable will. This is disappointing for many reasons : the supplied cable isn't very long, and will limit which settings I'm able to use on my lastolite bracket - no easy way to connect a pocket wizard to the lux senior - gotta take special care of the supplied cable and make sure I always have it when using that strobe - and when it eventually fails as all sync cables do I don't know how I'll be able to get a replacement. If you plan on using the LS on a hot shoe, this is a 4 or 5 star strobe. But if you're planning to use PC sync on older cameras, that non-standard cable is gonna be a serious nuisance.
It dishes out some light :p
I received mine and promptly shot a wedding in an fairly compact space with film and digital. I also used my trusty Vivitar 283. I found the senior was a little less harsh and worked well enough with my wider focal lengths. I switched over to using it as a fill later in the evening and having a manual control dial on the back was easy to deal with quickly. I maybe only used a quarter of the battery, provided I was around the 1/32nd mark for most of 200 shots on my xpro-2, so not much power needed. Can't say the same for the xpro. In my case the auto meter seemed pretty accurate, but I'd add a half stop if I was using print film just as a precaution since it comes off as softer. Might just be me though. And the looks. I mean...just look at it. It's right at home on my Ricohflex, Rolleiflex, or a lomo Diana. Folds up to a tiny pocketable block, built-in slave capabilities, came with a PC cord, I'm pretty happy with it. If you love bouncing flash, or need to light a larger space probably not for you, but close up wide lens group shots or as a dialable manual fill seems to be great.
Godox Lux Senior
Works great on Leica M3 with a Kaiser 1313 adapter. LJR
great vintage beauty light look..
looks amazing for close fashion shoots.. but is a bit confusing to dial in the settings.. not an automatic ttl
A nice retro looking flash.
A fun and easy to use flash. Not the most powerful but it produces excellent results.
Auto underexposes 2-3 stops
As Craig mentioned above, the Manual mode works fine with a GN 40-45, but my Auto is also off a lot, but if I raise the ISO from 200 to 1,000 it is better. Distance scale is in meters only so you need to convert. It shoots to the blue side. Color meter says Manual is 6,200K. I cut a Roscoe #3410 1/8 CTO gel 1x2.5 and wrap and wedge it around the flashtube and it gets it down to 5,500K which is much better for me. I leave it loose inside the cover when folded up. Works well with a wireless Godox remote flash trigger. Too bad they left that part out. Optical triggering via S1/S2 switch outdoors in bright sun isn't too reliable and I found using wireless better. Build quality is very good overall and its leatherette covering matches most cameras. Compact. Battery holds up well, but does take time to recharge to get a Green LED. Recycle time ~2 seconds. Would like to see Godox make a folding fan of maybe 18-21 size for their AD200 or similar units for field use. Handy, very fast to open and close, and a nice soft light too.
Not A Toy
Anyone who has been watching Godox over the past several years knows of the significant improvement in the design, fit and finish of their products. For example, the Lux Senior, a kind of mini-colander with a hotshoe, comes in a box worthy of a Leica. To my mind, this tells you something about the path Godox is on. But is the Lux but a toy or a flash worthy of serious consideration? It's no secret that people who inhabit the real world, rather than the photo studio, have a distinct aversion to other people sporting lethal looking cameras with lenses that resemble the business end of a howitzer. It doesn't encourage a rapport with them, and often kills any kind of momentary social bonding. That's where a Lux Senior can help. Which is to say that, when I approach people on the street with it mounted on my Ricoh GR or Fuji X-100F, often they suddenly want their picture taken. A small and unintimidating (and cute) package can do wonders for their enthusiastic co-operation. Think people with dogs. I've been testing mine for a few weeks now, so I can tell you about my experience with it. First, the Lux renders a much softer light than my fresnel-lensed flashes.. With a Guide Number of only 14, it produces less sharp shadows when subjects are close to a wall etc, and tends to let the background stay darker when they aren't. And the fact that it has a low guide number means it's easier to control that amount of light in the background. This can be a real problem shooting inside, because my other flashes tend to over-light a room, even when I reduce the flash output to say, 1/128 power. You only have 1-stop increments to play with, by the way, In addition, the Lux re-charges very quickly, which on the street can be a catastrophe as you wait for the green ready light to appear for a next shot. Note that it has an onboard lithium battery, but it's only 1700 mA hours - less than a single AA battery. It charges directly via a USB-C cable, so no separate charger to bring along. As for the flash power calculation dial on the body, it's much simpler to operate than the badly written manual would suggest. All you need to do is move one of the two concentric dials so that ISO and subject distance are lined up and then read the suggested flash power appropriate for an aperture you want. Dead simple. All-in-all, the Lux Senior is a nicely made, useful flash for street/outdoor shooters. It's small and discrete, cleverly designed, has an extremely fast recharge time between shots (i.e. green READY light appears), doesn't make an interior background look faintly thermonuclear, and generally gives pretty good results. The centre of the light is slightly brighter than its outer light circle, but this is acceptable. Just what I wanted.
Simple and appealing
This is a Godox Lux Senior Retro Camera Flash. If they had included Fun in its name it wouldn't need a review. I use it mounted alongside a full-size camera with a wide-normal pancake lens and people react with a smile. Battery life is OK, charges with any 5V USB, controls are definitely retro, results are pleasing.
