Unlimited Creativity
The Luxli Timpani² 1x1 RGB LED Light Panel is an exciting and noteworthy addition to Luxli's Lucie Award-winning Orchestra series of lights. Like the original Timpani LED light panel, the Timpani² is precisely manufactured to Luxli's exact specifications in Norway, and each light comes with its own individual photometrics chart that clearly displays the light's accuracy, consistency, and brightness.
The Timpani² features a highly accurate and versatile RGB LED panel that supports Bluetooth 5. Five lighting modes offer precise illumination for any situation. You can match any ambient lighting condition with color temperature adjustment from 2800 to 10,000K, and it also puts nearly every hue of the visible spectrum at your fingertips. Choose from 150 colored filters or 10 customizable animated effects. The new High Frame Rate (HFR) mode eliminates banding and flicker when shooting at high frame rates.
The Timpani² features a simple and intuitive on-unit LCD interface for direct control. When connecting to the unit via the Composer mobile app, you'll gain access to even more powerful features, including responsive group control, lighting animation effects, eyedropper color selection, and mode sequencing. Whichever way you choose to play the Timpani², the Luxli Orchestra series will illuminate your creative vision with endless possibilities.
Product Features

The 784 5-die LEDs are set in a true 1x1 (12 x 12") panel.

And create unique animated lighting effects. Use the Composer app to wirelessly combine and synchronize multiple Luxli Orchestra units.
Intuitive On-Unit Interface with LCD Display
The built-in LCD display offers a simple and intuitive interface that you'll pick up immediately. The Timpani² is designed with videographers and photographers in mind, so making adjustments to your light won't interrupt your workflow. Adjusting brightness and color, and switching between modes just takes only the touch of a button.
Excellent Build Quality
The Timpani² weighs 9 lb, and has an integrated carry handle, so it's easy to transport and store. Its passive cooling system with redesigned heat sinks make the Timpani² whisper-quiet, so your microphones won't pick up any fan noise when you're shooting dialog.
Diffusion
An updated and improved removable diffuser softens, smooths, and broadens the beam to flatter your subjects with a single-shadow and diffuse and wraparound light.
Runs on AC or DC Power
When you're shooting in the field or on location, it's nice to know the Timpani² runs on V-mount battery power. The light also runs on AC power via the 4-pin XLR input. The Timpani² prioritizes the connected power sources and seamlessly switches between them. You'll have constant power for lengthy shoots without any downtime.
DMX
DMX 512 compatibility lets you control CCT, HSL, and Filter (GEL) modes in 8- and 16-bit operation modes. And with its 5-pin XLR I/O connectors, you can daisy-chain your lights in a multi-light setup and join any lighting grid.
Included Yoke Mount
The Timpani² includes a sturdy all-metal yoke with a 5/8" receiver for convenient light-stand mounting. The yoke also features tilt control and height adjustment for balancing your light.
Firmware Updates
Luxli is always working to improve the Orchestra Series LED lights. The latest firmware updates are installed in seconds via Bluetooth 5 with the Composer app.
Lighting Modes
CCT Mode
The traditional correlated color temperature (CCT) mode allows you to accurately adjust your color temperature from 2800 to 10,000K in 50K increments with incredible accuracy. This lets you emulate any lighting condition from the cool hues of bright sunlight to the warmth of a tungsten bulb. The 5-die LEDs provide a maximum output of 6600 Lux at 3' that's stable from 2800 to 10,000K.
HSL Mode
One of the great innovations of the Luxli Orchestra family of lights is the HSL color mode. Dial-up almost any hue by scrolling through the entire color spectrum in 1° increments, and adjust the saturation as well as the base white point. You don't have to settle for "close enough" when you can set the precise hue you need.
Filter Mode
The Timpani² is loaded with 150 digital gel filters. Filter mode allows you to adjust the color temperature setting in 50K increments and apply any of the colored gels. It's as accurate as putting a gel in front of the actual light. Thanks to filter mode, you don't have to bring your gels with you to your shoot
Effects Mode
The Timpani² has ten preprogrammed effects with adjustable parameters for incredibly realistic lighting effects. Recreate exciting cinematic effects like the light from fireworks, a police car's flashing lights, or a campfire in a mild breeze, without extra gear. Adjustable parameters let you customize each effect to your specific needs.
High Frame Rate (HFR) Mode
Luxli introduces HFR mode with the Timpani² so videographers can shoot at high frame rates without unwanted banding. HFR mode sets one of the five diodes to remain constantly on, so you don't have to stop to calculate frame rates when you're trying to capture that perfect slow-motion shot.
CIE XY Mode
The Timpani² boasts the advanced CIE XY mode that's accessed via the Composer app. Input the exact coordinates along the X and Y axes of the CIE 1931 color space for color matching other lighting fixtures with incredible accuracy.
