The amaran 150c and 300c are amaran’s first full-colour 150W and 300W point-source LED lights, combining RGBWW full-color control, optical and soft light Bowens Mount versatility, integrated controls, and most importantly, high-quality light output.
What are some key features of the amaran 150c and 300c?
Stunning Full-Color Output
Using the same foundational RGBWW technology as professional fixtures like the Aputure LS 600c Pro, the amaran 150c and 300c produce stunning color quality throughout their expanded bi-colour CCT range of 2,500K to 7,500K with green-magenta adjustment and 360° HSI color control with >90% coverage of the Rec.2020 Color Space. And with high CRI/TLCI [95+], SSI (D56) [71], and SSI (Tungsten) [83] scores, the both fixtures can reliably output color-accurate light to achieve faithfulto-life skin tones.
The amaran 150c and 300c also punch well above their weight classes, outputting 15,610 lux (5600K) and 26,580 lux (5600K) respectively using their included Hyper Reflectors.
Optical and Soft Light Modifier Compatibility
The amaran 150c and 300c have an etched-glass optical element in front of their LED chips that blends each individual LED’s output into one cohesive beam of light. This allows for optimal compatibility with Bowens Mount optical modifiers such as the Aputure Fresnel 2X and the all new amaran Spotlight SE. In addition to this, both the 150c and 300c are compatible with any Bowens Mount soft light modifier on the market including the amaran Light Dome Mini SE.
Redesigned Silent Active Cooling System
The 150c and 300c come equipped with a redesigned high-efficiency heat sink and silent active cooling system, which means that users can focus on lighting their scene instead of how to mitigate fan noise.
Elegant Minimalist Lamp Head Design with Dual Rear-Facing Handles
Both fixtures feature a minimalist control interface that blends into the body for a simple yet elegant lamp head design, removing the need for a control box. The dual rear-facing side handles and redesigned Bowens Mount release latch even allow for ergonomic adjusting of the fixture wherever it is rigged.
Who is this light for?
For filmmakers and content creators who need a compact, affordable, full-color point-source LED light with a simple user experience and Bowens Mount modifiability, the amaran 150c and 300c are the perfect answers.
With point-source color as their strength, the amaran 150c and 300c give creatives control that no other amaran fixture can – and with the amaran ecosystem, the 150c and 300c outpace any comparable tool on the market.
Users who require adaptability from their lights will benefit from the amaran 150c and 300c’s integrated Bowens mount, which can be paired with nearly every Aputure and amaran (and 3rd party) Bowens Mount modifier. By changing modifiers, these lights can fill the roles of multiple fixtures on set, from hard to soft.
For maximum convenience, both fixtures can be wirelessly controlled with other Aputure and amaran via the Sidus Link mobile app, creating a finely tunable lighting ecosystem to be used on set or even from in-front of the camera.
Creators who work in home studios and filmmakers who work on set will appreciate the lightweight yet sturdy build of the 150c and 300c as they do not require heavy stands to support them. With 150W of output, the 150c easily illuminates a desk setup or home studio. The 300c with its 300W of output can be easily implemented as a key or fill light on set.
With silent active cooling systems, the amaran 150c and 300c can be used in environments that demand quiet atmospheres, including small studios, important interviews, and indie film sets.
The color control, modifiability, and build quality of the amaran 150c and 300c make them incredibly valuable additions to any filmmaker’s or content creator’s lighting kit.
How does this compare to other lights on the market?
High Color Accuracy
With industry leading colour accuracy, the amaran 150c and 300c offers high scores in color metrics tests across the board. Both lights score an impressive SSI (Tungsten) rating of 83 and SSI (D56) rating of 71, putting them near the top of their respective product categories when it comes to true colour accuracy.
Simple Yet Powerful
Created with an all-in-one design principal in mind, the 150c and 300c house powerful RGBWW LED chipsets that have impressive outputs, especially when paired with their included Bowens Mount Hyper Reflectors. Even with diffusion modifiers such as soft boxes, the 150c and 300c lights are sufficiently bright to be used in a variety of roles both on film sets and in a home recording studio. With simple and intuitive control panels on the lamp heads themselves, working with these fixtures is fast and hassle-free.
Diverse Power Solutions
In addition to their included AC Power Supplies, the amaran 150c and 300c lights are capable of running off DC power via battery solutions. Utilising their 48V DC power inputs, each fixture can be powered using two Gold or V-Mount batteries via the Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station (sold separately).
Versatile CCT Range
These new amaran lights enjoy a wide CCT range of 2,500K to 7,500K, allowing users the flexibility to light warm to daylight-balanced scenes without the need to gel or switch out lights to achieve various colour temperatures. Being Sidus Link compatible lights, the ability to change colour temperatures on the fly without ever needing to touch the fixture only further reinforces the 150c and 300c as truly versatile, all-in-one light sources.
Sidus Link App Control
Consistent with other fixtures across the entire Aputure and amaran product line, the amaran 150c and 300c can be controlled wirelessly via the Sidus Link mobile app with Sidus Mesh technology. You can finely tune almost every single aspect of each 150c and 300c fixture from your smartphone or tablet for maximum flexibility, from its output with 0%-100% stepless brightness control, colour control, built-in effects, or even save up to 10 Custom FX and 10 Music FX presets for easy access to different light modes.
No other lighting ecosystem with Bluetooth app control has the range, stability, or constantly growing functionality of the Sidus Mesh ecosystem. Sidus Link is constantly evolving with our users and is always adding new features to bring them new tools and inspiration.
Universal Bowens Mount
Despite their compact formfactors, the amaran 150c and 300c lights both have a built-in full Bowens
Mount for full compatibility with many Bowens Mount modifiers such as the all new amaran Light Dome Mini SE and Spotlight SE. Third-party modifiers with full Bowens Mounts are also compatible with both lights, increasing their flexibility. In addition to an integrated universal Bowens Mount, both fixtures both come with built-in Umbrella Holders at the articulating mounting arm of the light below the lamp head.
