Aputure 120d Mark II Studio LED Video Light Light Storm LS C120d II 180W 5500K LED Video Light 30000Lux (0.5m) CRI96 + TLCI97 + Bowens Bracket + Ultimate Upgrade

Product Information

As far as the colour rendering goes, above you can see the light recorded an average CRI (R1-R8) of 96. COB lights are really kicking it up a notch with higher output and fresnel accessories to tame those COB clusters.

There is nothing worse than having to go over and adjust a light, then walk back to the camera to see what it looks like. In turn, the 120D MK II is a greatly improved version of the original and makes for a worthy upgrade. The Aputure Light Storm COB 120D LED studio light is a fantastic addition to my regular portrait and food photography kit. Using this same protocol, the Sidus Link Bridge is able to receive commands from the Sidus Link mobile app, and transmit them to any Aputure fixture compatible with Aputure's 2. Designed for professional lighting technicians, the Light Storm 1200d Pro integrates sACN and Art-net via a durable etherCON connector, as well as wireless Lumenradio CRMX, in addition to its responsive on-board controls, DMX512 5-Pin XLR In and Out, and Sidus Link® app compatibility, to seamlessly integrate into existing lighting workflows.The C120D II comes with DMX capability, allowing studio creatives to maximize their range of uses for their lighting arsenal. I recently reviewed the MC series and the new 300D MK II and it seemed like an oversight to not spend more time with the 120D II.

In terms of overall build – the mounting yoke is identical to the 300D MK II and allows for much-improved freedom of movement. Compared to similar ellipsoidal fixtures, the Spotlight Mount significantly decreases its edge color fringing to a mere 1mm. The LS 1200d Pro is the first and only Bowens Mount LED on the market with a 1200W COB, making it the highest output LED fixture compatible with Bowens Mount modifiers like Aputure Light Dome soft boxes and Lanterns.The Spotlight Mount’s new lens technology minimizes chromatic aberrations around the edge of the illumination circle. It comes included with a reflector dome that helps to both intensify and spread the lights beam source out over a larger area. These figures were very impressive and tell me that the light is very accurate in producing correct colours.

While the original C120D came in at 6000K, the C120D II has a perfect 5500K daylight, allowing it to perfectly blend with other daylight-balanced lights in the Aputure ecosystem.A re-designed yoke construction accommodates an expanded range of motion with over 330 degrees, letting you angle and point your light anywhere needed. This means that it isn’t really a light modifier that you intend to control, you want it to distribute as directional as intended using a lantern.
