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.
