Aputure Amaran 300C RGB LED Video Light

The Aputure Amaran 300C RGB LED Video Light features a robust, redesigned monolight-style construction engineered to handle the fast-paced nature of active film sets. Moving away from plastic mounts, it incorporates a heavy-duty, all-metal Bowens S-Mount and an ergonomic release latch that allows you to swap out modifiers quickly and safely. The tilting bracket and baby-pin receiver are similarly constructed from reinforced metal, ensuring that heavier studio softboxes or optical lenses remain securely locked in place. Despite its rugged underpinnings, the lamp head remains remarkably compact and portable, weighing just 2.63 kg. This means you can effortlessly pack it into the included premium carrying case for travel or on-location production shoots without feeling weighed down.

Full-Color Performance

When it comes to advanced color control, this fixture utilizes a cutting-edge RGBWW chipset that unlocks over 360 degrees of vibrant HSI color customization. The color fidelity is immaculate, boasting consistent CRI and TLCI ratings of 95+, which translates directly to true-to-life skin tones and accurate color reproduction in post-production. Filmmakers will appreciate the extensive 2500K to 7500K CCT range, paired with a fully tunable green-magenta adjustment tool that helps match existing house lights on tricky locations. By reproducing up to 90% of colors within the demanding Rec.2020 color space, the light ensures your scenes look cinematic, professional, and richly saturated.

Lighting Output & Modification

Do not let its compact form factor fool you; this point-source LED packs a massive, punchy light output. Operating unmodified, the light offers an ultra-wide 89.6° beam angle to flood spaces evenly, but attaching the included Hyper Reflector concentrates the beam to unleash a blinding 26,580 lux at 1 meter. Because it utilizes a universal Bowens mount combined with proprietary color-blending optics, it plays beautifully with almost any modifier on the market. You can pair it with soft light diffusers like the Amaran Light Dome Mini SE for beautiful portraiture, or throw on hard optical modifiers like a Fresnel 2X lens to sharply focus the light and sculpt your subjects with surgical precision.

Advanced Wireless Control

Managing your studio lighting setup has never been easier thanks to the seamless integration of Sidus Link Bluetooth app control. With an operational range of up to 100 meters, you can sit comfortably behind your camera monitor and fine-tune your brightness, color hue, or color temperature from any iOS or Android smartphone. The app also lets you activate and customize 9 built-in cinematic lighting FX, including Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, and TV, giving you instant access to complex narrative lighting setups. For those who prefer immediate manual adjustments, the rear interface features a bright LCD screen and two intuitive clickable control knobs that let you toggle between CCT and HSI modes instantly.

Flexible Power Options

The utility of this continuous light extends from permanent indoor studios straight out into the wilderness, thanks to its versatile dual-power architecture. Out of the box, it runs worldwide via the included 100V to 240V AC power adapter, making it highly reliable for long, uninterrupted studio shoots. However, if your production takes you off the grid or onto locations without immediate mains electricity, the fixture’s 48V DC power input allows it to run on external battery power stations (such as V-Mount or Gold-Mount configurations). To keep the unit running efficiently during these long production hours, it utilizes a sophisticated active cooling system that operates silently, protecting your internal electronics without introducing unwanted background fan noise to your audio tracks.
