Our editorial take on the amaran 300c RGB LED Monolight (Gray)

The Aputure amaran 300c RGB LED Monolight is designed for users needing a versatile Bowens mount fixture with full color control. At 5.8 lb, the fixture offers a good balance of output and portability, further enhanced by app control for dimming and effects. The included Bowens S mount allows for broad compatibility with light modifiers.

Key specifications include a high lumen output of 19,389 at 5600K and strong color accuracy ratings with CRI 95, TLCI 95, and CQS 97. Operational flexibility is provided by both AC power (adapter included) and the option for a 48 VDC battery power station (not included). Its fan cooling system suggests prolonged use without overheating concerns.

While offering comprehensive control via app and a range of color modes including RGB, Daylight, and Tungsten, the absence of an included battery or integrated battery plates means external power solutions need to be considered. The DMX input and output further position this light for more integrated production environments.

Best for: This light is ideal for creators needing a high-output, full-color Bowens mount LED with extensive app control for studio or location work where external power solutions can be managed.
What's great
  • RGB color control with multiple color modes (Daylight, Tungsten)
  • High lumen output (19,389 at 5600K) and strong color accuracy (CRI 95, TLCI 95)
  • Bowens S front accessory mount for broad modifier compatibility
  • App control via Bluetooth for dimming and preprogrammed effects
  • Includes a case and AC adapter for immediate use
Watch outs
  • Battery power station not included, limiting out-of-box portable use
  • No integrated battery plate; requires external 48 VDC battery solution
  • Yoke type is not applicable, indicating potential limitations in mounting positions compared to lights with specific yoke designs
