Our editorial take on the Aputure LS C300d II Daylight LED Monolight (V-Mount)

The Aputure LS C300d II is a Daylight LED Monolight designed for professional film and video applications. It features a robust aluminum housing and offers precise brightness control from 0 to 100%. The fixture, weighing 7 lbs (3.2 kg), can be powered by AC or two optional V-mount batteries, offering flexibility in various production environments. Control options include an included controller, DMX, and a mobile app for both Android and iOS devices.

Providing up to 45,000 Lux at 1 meter with a reflector, this COB light delivers strong output. Its color accuracy is notable, with CRI, TLCI, and CQS ratings all at 95 or above. The Bowens S mount allows for a wide range of modifiers, and a cooling system combining fan and passive elements helps manage heat during operation. A wireless range of up to 328.1 feet (100m) further enhances its versatility.

Consider this fixture for demanding production scenarios where reliable daylight-balanced output and multiple control methods are essential. The inclusion of a carrying case and various cables adds to its out-of-the-box utility, though batteries are a separate purchase.

Best for: Professional cinematographers and videographers needing a powerful, color-accurate daylight COB light with flexible control and power options for studio or location work.
