When creating content that truly stands out, light is everything. It shapes mood, defines texture and can transform the ordinary into something remarkable. Whether you’re capturing intimate portrait photographs, working on creative product shoots or balancing content creation video with commercial stills work, the right tool for lighting is as essential as your camera. That’s where the amaran Pano 120c comes in. It’s a brilliantly portable LED panel that’s already turning heads and has just been shortlisted in the Photography News Awards for the best LED category. The Pano 120c is proof that you don’t need heavy, power-hungry kit to achieve stunning results. Weighing just 1.6kg, this laptop-sized panel slips easily into a backpack, yet still delivers a mighty 120W of output and an impressive 13,490 lux at one metre when set to 6500K. That’s bright enough to light a subject cleanly on its own or serve as a key light in a multi- light set-up. For shooting on location, it’s a
revelation that means no more struggling with bulk, cables or fragile modifiers. A standout feature for stills shooters is the Pano’s full RGB colour spectrum. Unlike basic panels limited to daylight or bicolour, the 120c lets you dial in creative hues or subtle tones to match ambient conditions. If you want to add a splash of colour behind a subject, simulate golden- hour warmth indoors or fine-tune skin tones with pinpoint accuracy, the Pano has you covered. Its colour fidelity is superb, giving you true-to-life results and consistent quality across sessions. And what you see is what you get, so there’s no guesswork involved in exposure, plus it’s simple to switch from stills to video. Practicality has been just as carefully considered. The panel supports USB-C PD power, so you can ditch clunky batteries and run it from a portable power bank, which is a huge advantage for travel when you need to keep weight and cables to a minimum. Pair it with amaran’s Peak
dance, fashion, events or even product photography using beautifully controlled light. Bundled modifiers give you flexibility to shape your results from soft, flattering skin tones to crisp, contrast-rich edges. Image makers are always seeking gear that enhances creativity without slowing them down, and the amaran Pano 120c fits the bill perfectly. Compact yet powerful, colour-rich yet simple to use, it’s a light that’s as comfortable in the studio as it is out on location. It’s clear that the Pano 120c is more than just another LED panel – it’s fast becoming a must-have tool for creators who take their craft seriously.
GRACE MEETS POWER The panel is simple to adjust and accepts a softbox and grid
power bank and quick-release Ace E-Lock adapter, and you’ve got a fully mobile, cable-free lighting system that can adapt to any environment. Of course, nobody wants to spend precious time fiddling with menus when a subject is ready. The intuitive colour screen and Quick Operation Mode ensure settings can be adjusted in seconds. The Pano 120c also syncs seamlessly with the amaran app, meaning you can tweak brightness, colour temperature or effects wirelessly – perfect for fine-tuning while you stay focused on composition. To make things even better, the Pano 120c arrives with a softbox, grid, diffuser and travel case. Right out of the box, you’re equipped to shoot portraits,
