Can creators finally get light that's both powerful and soft? The Profoto ProPanel 3x2 is a powerful LED panel dimmable down to 0.1 percent – and it already won an award

A studio lighting LED panel.

Profto has released its latest high-end LED panel – and it's designed to deliver both powerful and soft light. The Profoto ProPanel 3x2 is an RGBWW soft panel with an ultra-wide correlated color temperature (CCT) range, which the company touts as the most powerful soft LED panel for high-end film, TV, and commercial productions.

Filmmakers have traditionally faced a tradeoff between soft light and powerful light. While soft light is covered for the dreamy, flattering look it creates, it typically comes at the expense of light intensity.
