Overview
The ARRI SkyPanel S60-C is arguably the most iconic RGBW soft light of the last decade. It became the industry standard for high-end commercial and narrative work, known for its beautiful soft beam, excellent colour science, and intuitive interface.
Despite newer competitors offering better efficiency or output, the S60 still appears on major sets worldwide because everyone knows how it behaves — DPs, gaffers, and rental houses trust its colour and consistency.
