Lighting that leads When performance, portability and colour accuracy matter, the amaran Pano 120c stands above the competition
Great lighting has the power to do much more than illuminate a scene – it can take your images to a whole new level. From shaping facial features in portraiture to adding depth, texture and atmosphere to product photography, the quality of light can make or break an image. That’s why our readers voted for the amaran Pano 120c as best LED light in the Photography News Awards, recognising it as a powerful yet affordable panel that offers professional performance in a portable package. The Pano 120c is a modern lighting solution designed for photographers and hybrid content creators who need flexibility without compromise. At just 1.6kg, it’s small enough to slip into your backpack, yet powerful enough to anchor a serious lighting set-up. With a 120W output
and an impressive 13,490 lux at one metre when set to 6500K, it comfortably serves as a key light for portraits, editorial shoots or on-location work where power and consistency are essential. One of the main reasons the Pano 120c stands out is its full RGB capability. Rather than being limited to daylight or bicolour output, this panel gives lighting technicians total creative freedom. Bold background accents, subtle colour shifts or precise ambient matching are all easily achievable; and with excellent colour fidelity, skin tones remain natural and repeatable from shoot to shoot. No more messing with gels to get dramatic results. For hybrid shooters, the advantage is even greater as what you see is what you get, whether you’re shooting stills or switching to video. Portability is another major strength. The Pano 120c supports USB-C PD power, allowing it to run from a compact power bank instead of bulky V-Mount batteries or mains power. For location photographers, travel shooters or anyone working in tight spaces, this is a huge bonus. Combined with amaran’s Peak power bank and Ace E-Lock quick-release mount, it becomes a fully mobile lighting solution that’s fast to deploy and easy to reposition. Ease of use also plays a big part in the Pano’s award-winning spec. The intuitive colour screen and Quick Operation Mode mean adjustments are fast and logical,
CONTROL OPTIONS The Pano 120c can be controlled by a smartphone app (right) or with the simple controls on the back (left)
even under pressure. Wireless control via the free smartphone app adds another layer of convenience, letting you fine-tune brightness, colour temperature or effects without leaving the shooting position. Crucially, the Pano 120c arrives ready to work. Supplied with a softbox, diffuser, grid and travel case, it offers control over light quality straight out of the box. From soft, portrait light to more directional, contrast-rich set-ups, the included modifiers make the tool adaptable to a wide range of photographic styles. Winning the Photography News award for best LED light isn’t just about raw specifications, it’s about real-world usability. The amaran Pano 120c succeeds because it removes barriers between idea and execution. Compact yet powerful, creative yet practical, it earns its place in any serious image maker’s kit.
