Nanlite Compac 20 Dimmable 5600K Slim Soft Light Studio LED Panel

I was recommended to purchase this light through a photography store - but it was cheaper here.The light is beautiful and bright. Easily put together and the legs fold up for storage.The only thing I wish is that there were some way to lock the legs into place while in use…but I move around a lot so it’s more of a me issue than the light issue.

The lights are quite bright for their size and the built in diffuser makes it very easy to set up for table/product shots without having to use a soft box. The stands that come with the lights are functional but not very robust. The biggest issue is that the product description and specs say that the LEDs are dimmable. This is not the case and I verified with the manufacturer's support line. I tried using a third party dimmer from Lutron and it does not work with these lights. This is a major shortcoming. I consider returning but I found the lighting so easy to work with that I have decided to keep them anyway. I might look at upgrading to the Compac 24 that supposedly is dimmable from the back of the light.

I didn't think I needed the adjustable color and dimming but it was great this had it. I was using it for streaming video and works well. I bought a Stand separately. I got 16". I think any smaller, the light would be dim.The size fits in my backpack so I can have it at home or bring it to work.I used the fovitec tripod which was okay - I think it needs a little more weight added to your tripod if you plan to shine the light upward, to cause the large panel to be off balance. It's fine if left stationary.

I use this [with a Nanlite Compac 24B] in place of three soft boxes that took up much more space. This item on a tabletop tripod is truly a soft box replacement, without the sharp light typically associated with LED panels. For Zoom meetings and video presentations, this lighting along with Fovitec pop-up backgrounds and a Logitech BRIO webcam, make my home office into a studio. I highly recommend this light panel, which contains brightness control and broad Kelvin range.

Great lights for taking headshots. Plenty of power and good color rendering. Could use a handle for easier maneuvering when working with clients.

Excellent for self tape auditions

This is the second nanlite I received and the warm light stops working quickly. I don’t recommend

Very weak lights and cheapest possible construction. Avoid.

Ottimo prodotto che si è rivelato superiore alle mie aspettativeha un peso non indifferente ma considerate le dimensioni alla fine è equilibratoserve uno stativo di grosse dimensioni per sostenerlo e in aggiunta ho acquistato il diffusore!Risultato finale, comprerò anche il diffusore di dimensioni maggioriprima ero indeciso per il prezzo ma adesso ne sono sicuroLo consiglio ai fotografi professionisti per ogni tipologia di ripresa sia in studio che in esterno
