The new Amaran Verge and Verge Max are bi-colour edge-lit panel lights perfect for smaller spaces
Amaran’s new Verge and Verge Max are bi-colour edge-lit panel lights designed for creators filming, streaming or working from a desk or within compact home studios. Built for a new generation of creators who spend hours on camera in smaller, permanent setups, the Amaran Verge series brings soft, true-to-life lighting into spaces where bulky softboxes and traditional gear simply don’t fit. With intuitive front-facing controls, wireless integration via the Amaran App and Stream Deck plugin, and flexible mounting options that blend seamlessly into any workspace, the Amaran Verge series delivers a streamlined, eye-safe lighting experience tailored to how creators work today.
The Verge is a bi-colour, rectangular edge-lit panel light built for desktop-based creators who need soft, reliable lighting for long sessions at their desk. Unlike many desktop panels that lack physical knobs or rely on hard-to-reach rear controls, the Amaran Verge is the first of its kind to feature front-facing controls. Fine-tuning can be done wirelessly using the Amaran Desktop App or via integration into Stream Deck.
It eliminates UV light, minimizes blue light exposure, and delivers flicker-free, low-glare illumination – ideal for streaming marathons, extended work sessions, or all-day creative workflows without eye fatigue.
The Verge Max takes those same core features into a circular, 55cm/ 22in shape, delivering the softness and flattering diffusion of a traditional COB and softbox setup – without the bulk. Whether recording against walls, in corners, or from compact home studios, the Amaran Verge Max is ideal for creators who need to maximize space without compromising on studio-quality output.
At just 3.6cm thick, the Amaran Verge Max recreates the same soft, even diffusion of a traditional softbox setup in a panel that’s only 9% of the depth of the Amaran COB 60x S paired with an Amaran Light Dome Mini SE. And with an optional Light Control Grid, creators can further shape and control spill for precise, studio-quality results with minimal visual intrusion.
The Amaran Verge is $79 and Verge Max Kit $259 but no UK prices have yet been set. More details from Amaran.
