Profoto has introduced its new LP2000C, which they claim is the world’s brightest soft panel. It is a 2000W panel light with no ballast, an IP65 rating, and it weighs in at 55lbs / 27kg.
The LP2000C has a native beam angle of 120°, and it is claimed to produce 63,900 lx @ 1m / 3.3′ when used at 3200K. The maximum power consumption is 2000W @ 240V (15A), or 1600W @ 120V (15A).
The LP200OC has been designed for speed. It is a plug-and-play solution with no ballast. There is an integrated 360 railing that you can use to easily grip it from any angle. The LP2000C can be mounted in any orientation without overheating.
Profoto also has a new Snapbag and Snapgrid range for the LP200OC, featuring an industry-first rapid-lock system SpeedClamp, that enables a single gaffer to mount it.
The fixture uses the Profoto Core light engine, and it has a CCT range of 2000K to 15000K with claimed SSI ratings of 86 for tungsten and 74 for daylight.
To keep the weight to a minimum, Profoto is using a cooling system called Tech. At 27kg / 59lbs, it is light enough that a single gaffer can set it up.
The light has an aluminium yoke with a 28mm junior pin.
As far as connectivity is concerned, it supports onboard control, DMX/RDM, CRMX, Profoto Air, and Profoto AirX.
