“The Profoto L1600D has a lot going for it, it’s a robust workhorse, a good all-rounder that you can use in many different situations.”
There were several times when we wanted a very bright level of light, but a bit more of a refined quality. That's when turned to the L1600D. And they gave us a fantastic light quality withthe daylight shafts coming in through our big windows.
What I really loved with the L1600D is the very consistent quality of light that we used to supplement daylight shaft of lights coming in through windows. I also really appreciated the reliability and the exchangeability of the Profoto modifiers. I plan on using Profoto lights and modfiers on all productions going forward.
“My experience with the L1600D has been outstanding. It's a fantastic light – it's incredibly punchy.”
"Using the L1600D on set makes my job easier and faster. It really has beautiful light quality. And then when you couple that with their cinema ecosystem, with their modifiers, it really brings out the best in an LED light"
