Profoto LP2000C: The world's most powerful LED panel?

The Profoto LP2000C is trailed as the most powerful LED panel with 2000W output, IP65 rating, and advanced features for precise light control.

The Profoto LP2000C LED panel is claimed by the Swedish manufacturer to be the world's most powerful. Designed to deliver 2000W of 'stunning' soft light output in a lightweight and rugged IP65-rated package, as far as we know they're right.
