Nanlite Compac 200B Overview

From Manufacturer

The 32 x 20 x 4" Compac 200B Bi-Color Slim Soft Light Studio LED Panel from NanLite is an ideal choice for the studio or location work where color accuracy, control, and flicker-free output are of major importance. The Compac 200B's color temperature is variable from 3200 to 5600K to meet ambient light challenges, match other fixtures or their presets, or just for creative expression, while its high CRI of 95 is an indicator of faithful, precise color rendering.

Dimming from 100 to 0% is conveniently done on the back-panel LCD display with negligible color shift. The low electrical draw of just 200W means a timely return on your investment. The Compac 200B can be used worldwide thanks to its included 100-240 VAC power adapter. Supplied with a standard 5/8" receiver, the Compac 200B can be mounted directly on any industry-standard light stand.

Studio Quality Lighting
Compac Series Studio LED Panels create diffuse, color accurate, studio lighting with minimal set up and zero complications. Well-suited to lighting interviews, headshots, still life photography, vlogging, and more.
LCD Panel
An LCD panel shows you exactly what settings you're using, making it easy to fine tune and then recreate them in the future so your results will always be easily repeatable.
The Light You Need for the Space that You Have
Combining a space-saving design with impressive brightness, Compac series studio LEDs achieve lighting similar to large softboxes but at a fraction of the size and none of the set-up time.
Full Creative Control
Quickly achieve attractive, studio-quality results without adding plastic filters or cloth diffusion. Rear controls enable you to dial in brightness from 0 to 100% and temperature from warm tungsten balance to daylight (3200 to 5600K).

Nanlite Compac 200B Reviews

Soft Light, Noisy Fan

By Cullen
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2022-04-13

My company just bought one of these for our new video podcast studio. A softbox of this size gives a very nice look at 1 meter, but the fan is definitely audible at 1m, and the electronics also buzz and sound pretty cheap. I am skeptical of this unit's longevity but I've only had it for a week. Walking the unit back from the subject to get its fan noise out of the microphone works, but by the time the light is far enough from the speaker for the fan to fall silent, you're not getting the most out of your softbox. For us this was about three meters. With a quieter fan and some quieter electronics, an instrument of this design and proportion would be an excellent soft source. It provides a nice even wash of light.

These are compac indeed. Provide that giant softbox feel at a much thinner footprint.

This light is bigger and more powerful than a Mixpanel, but not RGB or battery capable.

Does the 200B have a fan that it audible at a distance of, say, 10 feet from the microphone in a quiet studio?
Asked by: Thomas
I went over to Nanlite website and asked them in chat. They said: HI the Compac 200B has a fan in it so it's not totally quiet. Depends on how close you have it to your subject. This was also reported by a B&H customer, previously. Description is incorrect.
