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. 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. Utilising the same foundational RGBWW chipset found in other Aputure and amaran fixtures, the amaran 300c 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 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.

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

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. parabolic design with a highly reflective silver inner lining, it transforms point-source fixtures such as the Aputure has yet to release, or even say a whole lot at all, about its Sidus DMX system, but it will allow you to use DMX to control Sidus Link-compatible units, that don’t natively support DMX. Essentially, it will act as a translator between the two systems to add that DMX remote control functionality where it didn’t exist before. This means it’ll work with the Amaran 150C and 300C, as well as previous Amaran lights, like the 60/100/200 D/X S models ( buy here), the PT1C, PT2C, PT4C Pixel Tubes ( buy here) and even the SM5c flexible LED strip ( buy here). Color-Blending Optical Design: Compatible with Optical & Soft Light Bowens Mount Modifiers Including Fresnel 2X, Spotlight SE, & amaran Light Dome Mini SEThere 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.

The new amaran 150c and 300c lights include a redesigned high-efficiency heat sink and silent active cooling system. 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. 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.

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 Sheldon 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. 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 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.

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. The Aputure amaran Light Dome Mini SE is the first amaran Bowens Mount octabox soft light modifier. It has an eight-sided deep parabolic design with a reflective silver lining. The modifier promises to transform point-source fixtures like the amaran 150c and 300c into directional soft light sources. The amaran 300c is amaran’s first-ever full-colour 300W Bowens Mount point-source LED light for indie filmmakers and creators. With point-source colour as its strength, the amaran 300c 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. 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.Did I miss anything? Let me know in the comments if you have another perfect use case for the 150c or 300c. Other improvements Whether you're an indie filmmaker, owner-operator, small production company, or even a photographer or content creator, the amaran 300c helps you achieve the perfect balance between full-colour control and an extra power punch that can easily fill your set or studio with high quality light. The two lights offer a new form factor for the company. It’s very different to everything they’ve released in the past. They’re a little bit bigger than the Amaran 100D and 200D to account for the extra electronics and power requirements – as well as the larger heatsink and fan – so they needed to be redesigned. This larger design, however, has its advantages. The larger fan means that it can spin more slowly to shift the same amount of air and keep the unit cool. And a slower fan means a quieter fan.
