The high output LED LS 600d line is growing slightly larger with the new bi-color 600x being announced by lighting manufacturer Aputure today. I have already had a chance to take the daylight-only 600d Pro for a spin and the announcement of the LS 600x might mean you’re one step closer to leaving that pile of CTO gels on the truck. The manufacturer has also announced a new Softbox called the Light Dome 150 alongside some interesting pricing news that cuts against the trend these days. Details below: The battle between HMI technology and high output LED fixtures continues with the addition of the bi-color LS 600x fixture covering a kelvin range between 2700K and 5600K (the LS 300x tops out at 6500K). Aputure promises an output of 18,510+ lux at 3 meters with the F10 Fresnel attachment and an output of 5,610+ lux at 3 meters with the included hyper reflector attachment. The cost of the LS 600x is slated to be $1990.00. For comparison, Aputure rates the 300x at 3 meters at 5500K landing around 1,700 lux with the hyper reflector attachment. That’s a big jump for the 600x to 5,610+ lux, but we’ll hopefully be able to do our own testing down the road. The 600x also only draws 720W at the top end and can be powered by V-Mount, Gold Mount or Block Batteries with its 48V 3-Pin XLR input. The 600x with the new Light Dome 150.
