Nanlite COMPAC 40B BI-COLOR LED PHOTO LIGHT – Adjustable 3200K–5600K Slim Bi-Color Panel

This product page references the NanLite Compac series and the features described for the NanLite Compac 68B Adjustable Bi-Color Slim Soft Light Studio LED Panel (68W). The Compac panels combine a slim profile with adjustable bi-color output, giving you studio-style, diffuse light in a compact unit. Use this light when space and quick setup matter, such as portrait sessions, interviews, live streams or product shots.

Key features

• Bi-color adjustment from warm to cold: 3200K–5600K for flexible color temperature control.
• Continuous dimming: rear controls let you set brightness from 0–100% for precise exposure control.
• Space-saving slim design: achieves a softbox-like effect without large diffusion or long setup time.
• Clear visual feedback: an LCD panel shows your current settings so you can fine-tune and reproduce results.
• Mounting ready: supplied with a standard 5/8" receiver mount so you can place the panel on any standard light stand.
• Studio and location use: suitable for portraits, interviews, headshots, live streaming, food photography, vlogging and product photography.

Why choose a Compac series panel

The Compac series aims to deliver studio-quality diffuse lighting while saving space and setup time. Because the panels use high-efficiency LEDs and a slim housing, you get soft, color-accurate illumination similar to large softboxes but in a much smaller footprint. This makes these panels especially useful when you work in tight spaces or need quick setups on location.

Performance highlights

The Compac 68B example from the series uses high-efficiency LEDs to provide strong output in a compact frame. The original description lists a peak output of up to 5684 lumens and a measured 2245 lux at 1 meter (5600K). The unit is reported to be approximately 9 cm thick, keeping it slim enough for small studios and crowded location shoots.

Controls and consistency

Rear-mounted controls give you direct access to brightness and color temperature. Because an LCD clearly displays your settings, you can note exact values and recreate the same look later. This helps maintain consistent results across multiple shoots or when returning to a project after breakdown and travel.
