Aputure has announced 4 new Bowens mount, point-source LED lights. The Aputure Amaran 100D, 100X, 200D and 200X are smaller and cheaper than the popular 120D and 300D fixtures. Sporting the moniker that Aputure denotes as a lower-priced bracket lighting fixture, the Amaran point-source line is easy to determine by name; 100 and 200 relating to the wattage of the fixture. D and X relating to daylight balanced and bicolor respectively. Aputure Amaran 200D. Image credit: Aputure Aputure Amaran Features All 4 new lights offer near identical features. Bowens mount on the front, 0-100% brightness control, passive cooled, DC powered but come with an AC adaptor (not to be confused with the large modules of the 120/300D, more on that below). In built umbrella holder for use with stills-orientated lighting modifiers. Compatible with the new Sidus Link app control and 8-built in lighting effects. Aputure Amaran 200X. Image credit: Aputure The Aputure Amarans do not require a large control unit, there is a built in wheel on the back of the fixture for brightness control (as well as color on the X variants), and just a standard external DC to AC adaptor. All four fixtures are quote to have a rating of CRI 95 and TLCI 95. The D versions are rated at 5600K and the X counterparts are billed to range from 2700-6500K. A battery solution is mentioned but not supplied, expect this to be a separate unit that replaces the DC/AC adaptor. Aputure Amaran 100X. Image credit: Aputure...
