In addition to our SkyPanel S60C and SkyPanel S360-C, we also have the brilliant S30 from ARRI. This is one of the most versatile soft lights on the market, representing more than a decade of research in LED technology.

More portable version

The SkyPanel S30 is a smaller, more portable version of the S60C. It’s half the length, so perfect for on-the-go mobile applications. Output is controlled via interchangeable thermoplastic diffusers that range from Standard to Lite to Heavy to soften the light. This also allows you to wrap its output around your subject. The SkyPanel S30 outputs the equivalent of a 1000W tungsten soft light while drawing only 240W power at the maximum. The diffuser panels on the front of the lamp head are interchangeable. Therefore, going from the Heavy to the Lite diffusion panel can be done in a matter of seconds.

Highly controllable

Using technology originally designed for the L7-C Fresnel, the SkyPanel S30-C is fully colour “tuneable”. This allows output of a warm 2800K to icy blue 10,000K light. Also, it uses the full RGB+W colour gamut with hue and saturation control for fine adjustments. Full minus-green to full plus-green 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 91 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 over 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, Windows or Mac.
