I was unfamiliar with Amaran lighting prior to acquiring this Pano 60c Panel light, but was particularly interested in the RGBWW LED technology that the 60c incorporates. I was also unaware that Amaran is a budget friendly lighting alternative produced by Aputure, with whose products I am familiar. I don’t own any Aputure lighting, but am aware of their reputation for producing professional quality equipment.My very first impression of the 60c was that it’s a lot of plastic, and it is; I wasn’t by any means disappointed, but apparently, I just had another expectation, probably based on the price. Anyway, what’s exceptional is that the Amaran Pano is supplied as a complete kit including a handy, well-made nylon case. In addition, a diffuser, softbox, directional grid and Amaran’s quick release light stand adapter are included with the kit. There’s nothing more annoying than getting a new light, then being left to figure out how to attach it to a stand. Their Ace Lock QR mount uses latches and is also magnetized for securely attaching and quickly removing the light to/from a stand. The panel can also be attached directly via its 1/4" threads.Another outstanding feature of the Pano 60c is its ease of use. Along with an LCD panel to display parameters, there’s an on/off button, a back button for getting out of submenus and a knob for scrolling menu selections, that also doubles as a selection button. The Pano 60c is a highly versatile light. As such, the onboard menu incorporates an advanced set of modes and features that go well beyond the standard COB bi-color light. Along with CCT, there is a CCT+ mode that allows the light to be adjusted to 20,000K; I’m not sure I’ll ever need that, but there you go. Besides the basic RGB adjustment, the panel light can be adjusted using it’s HSI (hue, saturation (chroma) and intensity (Lightness)) mode to match any color source, such as a Pantone swatch. There is the standard RGB mode for color mixing, and an FX menu for imitating lightening, a cop car, broken light bulb and a number of others. Each of the FX modes is also adjustable for duration, frequency and so forth.Besides lighting features, the menu has a “Custom” menu for creating customizable menu shortcuts and a “Studio” mode, that when enabled, will turn the light on when it’s connected to power, negating the need to use the power button. I’ll note here that only a very basic quick start guide is delivered with the lighting kit. A comprehensive user manual can be found on the Amaran website. For those wishing for a more comprehensive understanding of the lights features, you’ll need it. In fact, none of the hard copy documentation delivered with the kit even mentions an app, which I’ll get to later.RGBWW lighting incorporates an array of red, green, blue, warm white and cool white LEDs. It’s an advancement in lighting technology that overcomes RGB LED’s struggle to produce warm, natural looking white light; it results in a more comprehensive and versatile lighting solution. In order to take full advantage of this technology and the light itself, I found the use of an app necessary. On the other hand, if only the CCT and brightness features are of interest to the user, then an app isn’t necessary, although it does allow the user to control those, as well as all of the light’s other features, remotely, from up to 80 meters away.Amaran has its own app for the Pano 60c, however for the more sophisticated user, the Sidus Link app can also be used, that is able to access a number of features not available to the Amaran app or the lights onboard menu. Besides the ability to match the Pano 60c’s light output to standard CTO/CTB color conversion filtration, as well as a “Source Type” feature to match it to a number of other light sources, two powerful features in particular may be of interest. The “Source Match” feature allows the user to use the mobile phones camera to analyze and match the Panos' output to the kelvin temperature of light reflected from a chosen subject. On the other hand, there is the” Picker” that will use the mobile phones camera to match the output of the Pano to a chosen color; these are powerful features for consistency in color and lighting across subjects and set. In the “Filming Tools” menu can be found a light meter, optics calculator and an Infinibar Power Adapter calculator.The Pano is a direct, rather hard light source, even with its diffuser or softbox attached. It can be reflected off of a card or wall, however that’ll reduce its 60 watts of output substantially. According to the Panos Photometric spec sheet, adding the softbox with color set to 5600k and full power (60W) output will reduce the lights brightness from 6290 lux to 1642 lux. On the other hand, it can be used as a fill light, indoors or out. The included AC adapter connects to the light with a USB-C cable. This allows the light panel to be powered by a power bank, making it an ideal location kit, both as a main light, catchlight or fill light. There’s certainly room in its case for a dedicated power bank. The Pano will run on any power bank, however a 65W power bank is required to run it on full power. The light will adapt to lesser wattage banks, but will not run at full output. Using a 145W, 24,000 mAh power bank, the light will run for 1hr and 20m at full output continuously. At 50% power, it’ll run for about 2hr and 20min continuously. These times will vary of course depending on the capacity and wattage of the power bank being used.From my first impression that the Pano looked like a plastic toy, to now having used it for a few hours, I’m impressed with its technology and the range of its capabilities. It’s a budget light, albeit not a particularly powerful one, but with professional features. Other than a stand to put it on, it’s delivered as a compact, portable kit. Amaran also offers a Pano 60c two light kit that does include stands. They also have an upgraded version of this light, the Aputure amaran P60c, for which the CRI (color rendering index) and TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) values are stated; 95+ and 96+ respectively. That would imply that this light, the Pano 60c, is not up to those standards. In other words, it won’t necessarily integrate into a professional film or television lighting set, however, that’s what keeps the cost down. It’ll be fine if you’re not submitting work to Netflix. It’s obviously geared to the “content creator.”In the pictures of Hercules’ bust, which is a light beige-y porcelain color in real life, I’m using the color picker to add a bronze tone to it. I shot them with an iPhone that makes adjustments to the picture that I have no control over, but the lightest picture is done using the Pano P60c to fill the ambient light, while others, that show shadow modelling the face, are using it as main light, then filled by the ambient light. Making color and lighting ratio adjustments is easily and quickly done using the app; it’s a breeze really.All good; I haven’t found anything I don’t like about the Pano P60c. It’s a cool, very capable light for on the go situations. Get the app to take full advantage

I love Amaran & Aputure, but getting a larger RGB light is usually really expensive. Now we have the Pano 60c, and I love it! It’s a budget-friendly RGBWW panel and it comes as a full kit — case, softbox, grid, mount, the works.Out of the box, it feels a bit plasticky, but don’t let that fool you, it’s packed with pro features. Tons of lighting modes (CCT, HSI, FX, RGB, etc.), and the app takes it to the next level with color picking and light matching straight from your phone. Brightness isn’t insane, especially with the softbox on, but for content creators and on-the-go shoots? It’s super handy. You can even run it off a power bank if you’re mobile. Just make sure it’s at least 65W if you want full power. I wish it had V-mount abilities, but I am sure that would increase the price by a lot.Bottom line: it’s a solid, versatile light that punches way above its price, just grab the app to unlock its full potential.

I have seen other reviews of Amaran lighting and often wondered if the high praise I was hearing was valid. Well apparently it is. This is an impressive piece of kit. First off the light itself is bright and it is compact compared to lights in this power range. The flat profile makes it convenient to pack and it is lightweight. Both the brightness and color temperature are easy to adjust and the display is bright and legible. As for the kit, this has just about everything you need in a light, you get the power supply, a diffuser with grid, a magnetic clip mount, and a storage bag that looks like it is made by a high end luggage manufacturer. If you are not a fan of proprietary mounts there is also a 1/4"-20 thread insert on one side of the fixture.I ended up leaving this permanently on a light stand in my studio so I can just grab this for quick shots where I just need a single light for reviews or instructional videos. The whole package is just impressive, I would have to say that if you are looking for a flat panel light fixture this kit is certainly an excellent choice.
