This kit includes two Nanlite 1200DSA LED panels, two Nanlite LS-186 light stands, and a Nanlite CN-T2 carrying bag. It provides a complete, portable lighting solution for streaming, vlogging, photography, interviews and on-location video work.
The 1200DSA is part of Nanlite’s SA Series. It uses a 900 high-output LED module to deliver strong, daylight-balanced light at 5600K. The panel produces up to 9,072 lumens and measures 11,700 lux at 1 meter (5600K), while maintaining a high color accuracy with CRI 95 and TLCI 93. These numbers ensure reliable color rendition for photo and video workflows.
You control brightness from 0–100% using the rear-facing controls. The panel ships with barn doors to shape and control output quickly. It comes with a standard 5/8" receiver mount so you can place it directly on any standard light stand. The fixture is fan-less and uses passive cooling, which makes it suitable for use in sound-sensitive situations. In addition, the 1200DSA is DMX ready for easy integration into DMX-controlled studio setups.
For power, choose between the included AC adapter or compatible V-mount batteries (V-mount batteries are sold separately). The SA Series housing uses lightweight ABS construction to keep the fixture easy to handle and mount on location.
The Nanlite LS-186 is a compact, black anodized aluminum light stand designed for both studio and location work. Its unique design lets it rise to a full height and fold down for compact transport. The stand includes a 5/8" stud top with a 1/4"-20 receiver for flexible mounting options.
The Nanlite CN-T2 carry case fits a pair of FS series lights or SA light panels plus accessories. It provides structured storage and easier transport between locations. The bag dimensions are listed as follows:
