Panel perfection from amaran From TikTok studios to film sets, the award-winning Pano 120c shows that professional lighting doesn’t need to weigh you down
L ighting has become the make- or-break element for both cinema productions and content creators chasing the perfect look. Cameras can only do so much without good light, and while there are a lot of panel options on the market, few are able to deliver the balance of portability, power and price that today’s filmmakers demand. That is why the amaran Pano 120c stood out so clearly to voters in the Pro Moviemaker Gear of the Year Awards, earning the crown for best light panel 2025. The company has built its reputation upon bringing professional-level tech to filmmakers at an affordable cost. The latest example on offer is the Pano 120c: a full-colour RGBWW panel with serious punch, delivering 13,490 lux at 1m (6500K) from a slim, laptop-sized body that weighs just 1.6kg. For creators who want a travel- friendly light that doesn’t compromise on performance, this ticks all the right boxes. Colour accuracy is one of the standout strengths of the Pano 120c. Thanks to its RGBWW chipset, there is complete control over hue, saturation and intensity, as well as a wide CCT range to mimic anything from candlelight to daylight. The panel provides excellent fidelity across the spectrum, so skin tones look natural and creative looks are easy to dial in. Whether you are working in a small studio, a corporate interview or an indie short film, the Pano 120c delivers reliable results without heavy correction in post. Control is also equally flexible. For solo creators, the panel includes a clear on-board colour screen with a Quick Operation Mode for fast adjustments. The light can also be paired with the amaran app which lets you tweak colour, brightness and effects from your phone or computer. It is just as comfortable lighting a YouTube set as it is scaling up into a multi-light set-up for commercials or music videos. Practicality is another area where the Pano 120c stands out. Powering lights on location has traditionally meant carrying around bulky V-Mount batteries or racks of NP-Fs, but amaran has managed to keep things modern with

light running without overheating, and it slips easily into a backpack for travel or location shoots. It is this combination of output, accuracy and agility that secured the Pano 120c’s victory. It is a light built for real creators – not too big or complex, but powerful enough to be taken seriously. That is why this panel has struck a chord with today’s hybrid filmmakers, content creators and production teams. The Pano 120c from amaran proves professional results do not always come with a heavy footprint or an eye-watering price tag. It is a panel which democratises pro lighting, delivering the performance that was once reserved for big-budget shoots in a package that anyone can use. And that is why it lit up the votes to take the title of Pro Moviemaker’s best light panel of 2025.
USB-C PD compatibility. This means you can run the panel from a standard power bank, cutting down on gear and weight. Combined with amaran’s Peak power bank and Ace E-Lock quick-release system, the Pano 120c provides true cable-free operation: an absolute godsend for run-and-gun shooters. For all its portability, amaran has not cut corners on usability.
