ARRI SkyPanel family

The Classic SkyPanel and SkyPanel X are the ultimate lighting solutions tailored for professional photographers and photo studios. The Classic SkyPanel is a high-quality LED light, offering exceptional color rendition and widespread availability throughout most rental houses worldwide as it quickly became a favorite amongst photographers.

SkyPanel X takes innovation a step further, introducing a modular system with multiple size options (X21, X22, X23). It redefines the game with native soft and hard light technology, setting new benchmarks in dimming precision, color science, and lux output for medium to long throws. With a dynamic CCT range from 1,500 K to 20,000 K, and flicker-free low end dimming from 100% - 0% it is ideal for close-ups for photographers.

Both SkyPanel X and Classic SkyPanel integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow and empower you to capture the perfect shot in any setting.

User feedback

Aigars Altenberg

Photographer

In my opinion, the ARRI Orbiter is a fantastic light source not only for filming, but also for photography. The accuracy of the light colors is so balanced and so similar to real sunlight that the 100 and 500 year old paintings open up in such vibrant and nuanced hues as if they were painted yesterday.
Orbiter's light engine reveals nuances that would otherwise only be perceptible and visible in the UV or IR spectrum. But with the ARRI Orbiter, even the eyes of a specialist can see these nuances in the precise and nuanced illumination of the Orbiter.

Orbiter’s optical system and color versatility are a groundbreaking combination. The color science renders natural-looking skin tones, along with an endless array of variable colors.


ARRI L-Series

The L-Series is the first LED fixture to truly incorporate the Fresnel characteristics of continuous focus from spot to flood and a smooth, homogenous light field. The point source with a variety of colors and gels is perfectly suited for photography applications of all kinds.
