When it comes to video and photography lighting, having the right equipment can make all the difference in achieving the perfect shot. The Aputure Amaran 150c COB Video Light is a game-changer, offering versatility, quality, and convenience for professional videographers and photographers alike.

First off, let's talk about the impressive color quality of the Amaran 150c. This light boasts an expanded bi-color CCT range of 2,500K to 7,500K, giving you full control over the temperature of your lighting. Not only that, but the green-magenta adjustment feature allows for even more precise color correction to achieve the perfect hues for any situation. And the 360° HSI color control with >90% coverage of the Rec.2020 Color Space is a fantastic addition for those looking to have full control over their lighting.

But what really sets this light apart is its ability to output color-accurate light. The high CRI/TLCI [95+], SSI (D56) [71], and SSI (Tungsten) [83] scores ensure that skin tones will always look natural and true to life. When paired with the included Hyper Reflector, the Amaran 150c outputs an impressive 15,610 lux @ 1m at 5600K, making it a powerful contender in its weight class.

Being able to control the Amaran 150c wirelessly is another fantastic feature that sets this light apart. The Sidus Mesh technology allows for easy and intuitive control via the Sidus Link App. The app includes a color picker to match any color perfectly and can activate 9 System FX, including Party Lights, Cop Car, Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, Faulty Bulb, TV, Explosion, Fire, Pulsing, and Strobe. This level of control over your lighting effects is unparalleled and opens up a world of creative possibilities.

The Amaran 150c is also incredibly versatile when it comes to power. Its 48V DC power input allows for compatibility with both an AC adapter for studio shoots and battery power using the Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station (sold separately). This means you can use this light on location without worrying about access to power.

Finally, the design of the Amaran 150c makes it incredibly user-friendly. The dual rear-facing side handles and redesigned Bowens Mount release latch allow for ergonomic adjustments of the fixture, no matter how it's rigged. And the redesigned high-efficiency heat sink and silent active cooling system make for an easy and quiet user experience.

In conclusion, the Aputure Amaran 150c COB Video Light is a top-of-the-line choice for videographers and photographers seeking professional-grade lighting equipment. With its expanded bi-color CCT range, green-magenta adjustment, and 360° HSI color control, the Amaran 150c offers unparalleled control over lighting effects.
