Product Information
Engineered for Creativity, Built for Performance
The Profoto B20 and B30 AirX Monolights are a game-changing evolution in portable lighting, delivering more power, faster recycling, and unmatched versatility in a compact form. Designed with working professionals in mind, these monolights feature a rugged rubberized exterior for enhanced durability and grip, making them the ideal companion whether you're shooting in studio or on location with demanding conditions.
Building on the beloved B10 series, the B20 and B30 offer a 13% faster recycle time—so you're always ready for the next shot. Whether you’re freezing fast action or pushing light through heavy modifiers, these lights respond instantly. And when every second counts, the user-replaceable flash tube keeps you shooting without missing a beat. With 11 full stops of adjustable power and three selectable flash modes—ECO, Boost, and Freeze—you gain complete control over your light, your environment, and your creative results.

Stronger Light, Smarter Features
Profoto’s upgraded bi-color LED system now delivers 50% more continuous light than the B10X series, giving filmmakers and hybrid shooters a brighter, more color-accurate source. It’s powerful enough for video work and perfect for visual consistency when switching between stills and motion. All of this is wrapped into Profoto’s legendary intuitive interface—so you can focus on your subject, not the settings.
Whether you need a soft fill light for portraits or high-powered output for commercial scenes, the Profoto B20 and B30 are fully compatible with over 120 light-shaping tools in the Profoto ecosystem. From beauty dishes to softboxes and hard reflectors, every accessory helps shape light exactly how you envision it.
