Swedish lighting manufacturer Profoto has announced the LP2000C, a 2000-watt LED panel targeting film and television production. The unit weighs 27kg (59 lbs) and measures 112cm x 66cm x 20cm (44.09 x 25.98 x 7.87in). Let’s dive into it.
The LP2000C operates within a wide color temperature range of 2000K to 15000K with adjustable green/magenta correction. Its color rendering performance is impressive, with a CRI of 97, TLCI of 97, SSI Tungsten (3200K) of 86, and SSI D55 of 74. The fixture is powered by its “Core LED engine” and features constant current dimming, ranging from 0.1% to 100%, with multiple dimming curves available.
Power consumption varies by voltage: maximum 2000W at 240V/15A, or 1600W at 120V/15A. The unit accepts both 100-127V and 200-240V input at 50-60Hz through a Neutrik PowerCon True 1 connector.
The panel features a 360-degree aluminium yoke system with a 28mm junior pin mount. Profoto has developed a proprietary SpeedClamp accessory mount system, with a custom SnapBag softbox designed specifically for the fixture.
Control methods include onboard controls, DMX/RDM via XLR 5-pin in/out, CRMX wireless DMX, Profoto Air remote system, and Bluetooth connectivity through the Profoto Control App. Wireless range is rated at up to 100 meters for all remote control systems.
The LP2000C carries an IP-65 rating for dust and water resistance, with an operating temperature range of -10°C to +35°C (14°F to 95°F). Cooling is handled by what Profoto terms “CTech” technology, currently patent pending.
The LP2000C is available for pre-order at $12,995 on B&H, Profoto’s website and authorized dealers, with shipping scheduled for Q3 2025. The fixture will debut at Cine Gear Expo in Los Angeles on June 6-7, alongside their new L600C and L600D models.
Firmware updates can be performed wirelessly through the Profoto Control App or via the USB-C service port. All technical specifications are preliminary and subject to change before final release.
