amaran has created a few accessories designed for the 150c and 300c, specifically the Spotlight SE (with a 19-degree and a 36-degree lens available) and Light Dome Mini SE. We took a look at both of these accessories at NAB 2023, and that video is here. 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. The amaran 150c is amaran’s first-ever full-colour 150W Bowens Mount point-source LED light for indie filmmakers and creators. With point-source colour as its strength, the amaran 150c grants creatives with control that no other amaran fixture can – combining RGBWW full-colour control, optical and soft light Bowens Mount versatility, integrated controls, and most importantly, high-quality light output. 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.

For users who need the most output possible out of a compact soft box, the Light Dome Mini SE features a deep parabolic design with a highly reflective inner lining, allowing for highly efficient light output.

Amaran 150C/300C Specs

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. Color-Blending Optical Design: Compatible with Optical & Soft Light Bowens Mount Modifiers Including Fresnel 2X, Spotlight SE, & amaran Light Dome Mini SE, In general, the buttons and menu navigation are faster and easier than with the amaran 200d S, and I hope amaran continues using this button layout on future fixtures. The dedicated BT Reset button (present on other amaran or Aputure products) is also helpful if you’re handing these fixtures off to friends or colleagues for use, as it makes connecting to Sidus Link just that much faster. I also enjoy the exterior design of the lamp heads over previous amaran COB generations. Accessories 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. Over the last few weeks, we have seen several new releases from Aputure: the updated amaran COB S Series LED Lights, the amaran PT1c, PT2c, and PT4c Pixel Tubes, the Aputure INFINIBAR LED Light System, and the long-awaited Aputure MC Pro Mini LED Panel Light. amaran 150c and 300c – overview

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). Aputure ได้พัฒนาและออกแบบ Sidus Link Bluetooth app ที่สามารถใช้งานควบคุมอุปกรณ์ไฟผ่านอุปกรณ์มือถือหรือแทปเล็ทได้ ทำให้หมดปัญหาเรื่องการลากโยงสายต่อกล่องควบคุมต่างๆ หรือการลุกเดินเพื่อปรับแสงที่อุปกรณ์ไฟหลายๆ ตัวไปเลย นอกจากนี้ ยังสามารถตั้งค่าต่างๆ อย่างที่ต้องการได้อย่างสะดวกรวดเร็ว และยังมี preset มาพร้อมให้เลือกใช้งาน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นแสงไฟกระพริบแบบแสงแฟลช Paparazzi, แสงพลุ, แสงฟ้าผ่า, แสงหลอดไฟเสีย, แสงจากทีวี, แสงกระพริบเป็นจังหวะชีพจร, แสงกระพริบแบบ Strobe, แสงจากการระเบิด, หรือ แสงจากกองไฟ Amaran 150C RGBWW ถูกออกแบบให้ตอบโจทย์การใช้งานกับ Bowens Mount modifiers ได้หลากหลาย โดยเฉพาะอุปกรณ์เสริมที่มีเลนส์ขยายอย่าง Fresnel 2X และ Amaran Spotlight SE รุ่นใหม่ได้อย่างดีเยี่ยม ช่วยให้สามารถเนรมิตแสงสีให้กับผลงานได้อย่างไร้ขีดจำกัด The 300c includes a 65-degree reflector, or you have a 90-degree beam angle if you remove the kit reflector and go with the “bare bulb.” That same included kit reflector on the 150c creates a 63-degree beam angle or an 83-degree beam angle if a reflector isn’t attached. Both fixtures use the ubiquitous Bowens S-Type mount, the advantage being that the mount opens up a wide range of available 1st and 3rd party accessories. Keep in mind that results may vary as accessory manufacturers have designed different accessories with various lights in mind — they won’t all be compatible despite using the Bowens S-Type. amaran 150c.

Specifications

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. Utilising the same foundational RGBWW chipset found in other Aputure and amaran fixtures, the amaran 150c boasts stunning colour quality throughout its expanded 2,500K to 7,500K bi-colour CCT range. And with a CRI and TLCI of 95+, SSI (D56) of 71, and SSI (Tungsten) of 83, you can always ensure that you can light your subjects with confidence while reproducing accurate skin tones.

The amaran 150c is amaran’s first-ever full-color 150W Bowens Mount point-source LED light, combining RGBWW full-color control, optical and soft light Bowens Mount versatility, integrated controls, and most importantly, high-quality light output. We have all experienced situations when lights start to produce a bothersome buzzing sound, which is annoying when you are shooting quiet scenes with actors. Aputure claims that the 150c and the 300c come with new heat sinks and a silent active cooling system. This has to be tested in a real-world situation, but at least it sounds promising. amaran 300c LED Light – Source: CineD Control app With an octagonal diffusion design, filmmakers and creators can achieve rounder reflections and eye lights compared to a square or rectangular design. A few additional design improvements deserve an added mention here — for one, both fixtures feature an improved “silent” active cooling system that I’m happy to report is quieter than the past amaran products I’ve used. The yoke is now metal and doesn’t feel as breakable as prior generations. Image Credit: Graham SheldonThere are 19-degree and 36-degree lenses to deliver versatile light output. The light includes an adjustable beam angle, and an 18-leaf iris (sold separately) can also be attached to adjust light quality further. The amaran Spotlight SE has an optional 18-blade iris users can place inside the spotlight for additional control over the light beam. chipset แบบ RGBWW ของ APUTURE ทำให้ไฟสตูดิโอ AMARAN 150C RGBWW สามารถเพิ่มช่วงอุณหภูมิแสง Bi-color CCT ได้ตั้งแต่ 2,500K ถึง 7,500K เลยทีเดียว รวมถึงให้ค่าแสงที่เที่ยงตรง โดยค่า CRI และ TLCI = 95+, SSI (D56) = 71, และ SSI (Tungsten) = 83 ทำให้หมดห่วงเรื่องการ reproducing สีผิวไปได้เลย The lights feature a “minimalist control interface” integrated into the body.

The Aputure amaran 150c and 300c are controllable via on-light controls or an app using wireless connectivity.

To keep the fixtures cool, the amaran 150c and 300c have a redesigned high-efficiency heat sink and silent active cooling system to minimize fan noise. Battery Power Options 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. Using the same 48V DC power input as the amaran 100 and 200 COB S lights, you can freely switch between the included AC power adapter and the Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station* for added flexibility on-the-go with Gold or V-Mount batteries.
