ARRI continues to broaden their LED line and reaffirm their commitment to accurate Colour rendering with the introduction of the SkyPanel S60-C LED Softlight. Supported by a steel yoke, the panel surface area measures 25.4 x 11.8″ and employs interchangeable thermoplastic diffusers that range from Lite to Heavy to soften the light and wrap its output around your subject. The SkyPort outputs the equivalent of a 2,000W tungsten soft light while drawing a maximum of only 450W.

Using technology originally designed for the L7-C Fresnel, the SkyPanel S60-C is fully Colour “tuneable” allowing output of a warm 2,800K to icy blue 10,000K light and also uses the full RGB+W Colour gamut with hue and saturation control for fine adjustments. Full Minusgreen to Full Plusgreen is also possible, so if you’re lighting for blue or greenscreen, you can simply dial your Colour chosen in. This wide degree of control is responsible for a very high CRI of 95 and a rating of 90 with the newer TLCI standard. All of these functions as well as 0-100% dimming can be adjusted locally with the SkyPanel’s onboard controller or remotely via DMX or a LAN. Besides inputs and outputs appropriate to these functions, the light also has a USB-A port for downloading firmware upgrades from a thumb drive, PC or Mac.

The SkyPanel S60-C can be used worldwide, thanks to its included 90-250 VAC power supply but it can also use optional 23-36 VDC batteries when mains power is unavailable. Besides the power supply, the light comes with a Junior (1-1/8″) pin and a standard diffuser. This version of the light has a manual yoke and comes with an Schuko power cord.
