The Aputure Amaran COB 60x Bi‑Color LED Monolight is an ultra‑compact, high-output point‑source fixture tailored for filmmakers, vlogging, and on-location content creation. Despite being just over 4″ per side and weighing around 1.5 lb, it punches above its size with a 65 W COB LED that delivers nearly 33,300 lux at 3.3 ft when paired with the included Hyper Reflector Mini—making it a standout for its size category.
Boasting a bi-color range of 2700K–6500K and consistent dimming from 0–100% without flicker or color shift, the COB 60x ensures accurate color fidelity in every scene. With CRI and TLCI scores ≥ 96 and advanced SSI and TM‑30 metrics, it delivers exceptional spectral continuity and color accuracy.
Equipped with a standard Bowens mount, this light supports compatibility with a wide variety of Aputure and third-party modifiers, from softboxes to lanterns. It runs on AC power or can be powered remotely using NP‑F or D-Tap batteries with a compatible plate or cable, ideal for flexible shooting scenarios.
Control is simple—use the built-in LCD/rotary knob interface for standalone operation or manage multiple fixtures wirelessly using the Sidus Link mobile app via Sidus Mesh. Users can access nine built-in lighting effects such as lightning, fire, and TV flicker for creative setups.
