Nanlite COMPAC 20 LED PHOTO LIGHT

Nanlite COMPAC 20 LED PHOTO LIGHT – Daylight 5600K with high color accuracy (CRI95)

The Nanlite Compac 20 is a slim daylight LED panel that delivers powerful, soft light in a compact package. It suits both studio and location work where color accuracy, control, and flicker-free output matter. You can mount it on the included desktop stand for tabletop image making or integrate it into larger setups using the built-in 5/8" receiver.

Studio-quality lighting in a compact form

Compac-Series studio LED panels create diffuse, color-accurate illumination with minimal setup. As a result, you can light interviews, headshots, still life photography, vlogging, and other small-scale productions quickly and reliably. The panel’s high CRI of 95 and TLCI of 93 indicate faithful color rendering, which helps when precise skin tones and product colors are essential.

Daylight-balanced output for matching and outdoor use

This panel delivers a daylight-balanced 5600K output. Therefore, it works well outdoors and allows you to match HMI fixtures or other preset daylight sources when you need consistent color across multiple lights. Moreover, the Compac provides flicker-free output, which is important for video capture at varying shutter speeds and frame rates.

Efficient power and worldwide compatibility

The Compac 20 draws only 24W, keeping electrical consumption low and helping to deliver a timely return on your investment. In addition, Nanlite includes a 100–240 VAC power supply, so you can use the panel worldwide without needing additional converters.

Small footprint, versatile placement

Measuring 8.1 x 5.5 x 1.6", the Compac 20 achieves soft-light results similar to larger modifiers but without the space or setup time. The compact dimensions and included desktop stand make it especially suitable for tabletop photography and product shots, where space is limited and precise placement matters.
