Our editorial take on the amaran COB 200x S Bi-Color LED Monolight

The Aputure amaran COB 200x S is a bi-color COB LED monolight designed for various production needs. Its color temperature range allows for adjustment from 2700K to 6500K, supporting both daylight and tungsten color modes. With a maximum photometric output of 45,400 Lux at 1 meter with the included reflector, it offers substantial brightness for its size.

This monolight emphasizes color accuracy, featuring high CRI, TLCI, CQS, SSI, and TM-30 scores. It provides continuous dimming from 0 to 100% and can be controlled remotely via a mobile app using Bluetooth. The integration of a Bowens S front accessory mount allows for compatibility with a wide range of light modifiers.

While operating on AC power, it also offers flexibility with dual V-mount or Gold Mount battery plate options, though batteries are not included. Its compact dimensions and relatively light fixture weight make it a portable option for both studio and location work.

Best for: Filmmakers and photographers seeking a powerful, color-accurate, and versatile bi-color LED monolight with app control and accessory compatibility.
