Amaran: Pack light and shoot bright

Posted on May 8, 2025 by Pro Moviemaker

Amaran reveals two portable LED panels for content creators who want to stay a step ahead

In a world packed full of content creators going all-out to make videos with impact, good lighting can make or break a project. Whether it’s recording a podcast, livestreaming or filming on location, having reliable, high-quality LED lighting that doesn’t weigh you down is essential.

That’s why Amaran has raised the bar with the launch of two ultra-portable, full-colour light panels – the Pano 120c and 60c.

These are built for hyper-imaginative hybrid creators who demand flexiblity and high performance from lighting capable of covering the full RGB spectrum, as well as white. They’re compatible with a wide range of modifiers for precise control, offer consistently accurate colours, built-in effects, smart cooling fans and intuitive colour adjustment.

From custom shortcut controls to seamless integration with the Amaran application, it’s extremely easy to manage all the lights wirelessly, with full control over colour temperature, intensity and effects in real time.

Power meets portability

The Amaran Pano 120c is a powerhouse in a laptop-sized package. Delivering 120W of output to generate an impressive 13,490 lux at 1m when set to 6500K, this panel light is ideal for various shoots – from lighting studios to brightening subjects in outdoor scenes.

Despite its high output, the Pano 120c weighs in at just 1.6kg/3.5lb, making it one of the lightest and most portable in its class. It’s the ideal companion for creators on the go, fitting easily into a backpack or travel kit and setting up in seconds.

It also supports USB-C PD power, so you can ditch bulky NP-F and V-Mount batteries for a USB-C power bank. Paired with the Amaran Ace E-Lock quick-release and upcoming Peak power bank, it offers wireless, cable-free operation with no voltage drops or interruptions.

With its intuitive colour screen and Quick Operation Mode, customising your lighting is fast and easy. Plus, the included softbox, diffuser, grid and travel case ensure you’re production-ready wherever your shoot takes you.

Shoot smarter, not heavier

The Amaran Pano 60c is even more compact than the 120c, yet still packs serious punch, boasting a brightness of 22,220 lux at 0.5m at 6500K. Despite the 60W power, each light weighs just 0.61kg/1.3lb and is no bigger than a tablet.

The Pano 60c also supports USB-C PD and is compatible with the Ace E-Lock mount and Peak power bank. Quick to deploy and easy to control, the 60c panels are perfect for fast-paced shoots and tight spaces where lighting needs to be both dynamic and unobtrusive. Additionally, the LED comes bundled with a diffuser, softbox, grid and light stand adapter in a case.

But why not go for a more cinematic, multi-point lighting set-up – ideal for interviews – with the Pano 60c two-light kit? It has everything you need in one ultra-compact bundle, with two of everything you get with the standard one-light 60c kit, but adds two compact light stands and a larger carry case to fit it all in.

With cutting-edge features packed into travel-sized kits, Amaran’s great-value new Pano series is just what creatives need to push the limits without the bulk.
