SkyPanel X Operating Manual 7
2 About this Product
2.1 Introduction to SkyPanel X
The SkyPanel X represents the next generation of high-end panel lights – max connectivity and best
color/brightness setup. It enables maximum usability for users and rentals while keeping the high-
end parameters of ARRI in terms of quality, innovation and reliability.
The SkyPanel X is conceived as a state of the art modular design able to deliver soft and hard
lighting. It is optimized for fast, safe and intuitive operation.
The SkyPanel X is an IP 66-rated device. It is protected against powerful water jets (100 liters per
minute at 3 m distance with a 12.5 mm nozzle from all directions). This must be clear cold water to
avoid corrosion and other material degradation, and never related to high-pressure jet or steam
cleaning, which corresponds to a different rating.
ARRI did not only test the SkyPanel X in its facilities and on the field, but also by an independent
lab, the TÜV Süd. The test includes a dust-tight test (IP 6x), a waterproof test (IP x6), an electrical
safety check after both tests, plus an overall overview on searching for any trace of water inside of
the fixture after all testing is performed.
