Aputure Amaran Halo 300x Bi-Colour LED Monolight

The Aputure Amaran Halo 300x Bi-Colour LED Monolight delivers 305 watts of high-output studio lighting in an all-metal compact design built for expanded production sets. This point-source COB fixture outputs 16,200 lux at one metre with an 85-degree beam angle, covering 2700K to 6500K with high colour fidelity ratings (CRI 96, TLCI 97). Control it via the onboard TFT screen, one-tap NFC pairing with the Amaran app, or optional DMX. Power comes from a single 5-metre AC cable with the power supply integrated directly into the fixture for clutter-free setups. The reinforced full-size metal Bowens mount provides maximum modifier compatibility, while the integrated tilting bracket with built-in carry grip makes handling and mounting straightforward for larger home studios, livestream rooms, and professional production environments.

All-in-One Monolight Design

The Halo 300x measures 21.8 x 14 x 16.5 centimetres (with mounting bracket), maintaining a compact footprint despite its 305-watt output. The streamlined monolight design integrates the power supply directly into the fixture, eliminating external ballasts and cable clutter. The reinforced full-size metal Bowens mount accepts reflectors, Fresnel attachments, the Spotlight SE, and the full range of Bowens modifiers. The integrated tilting bracket with built-in carry grip simplifies angle adjustments and stand mounting, making it practical for solo creators and small crews who need to work efficiently without additional grip equipment.

Accurate Colour Across the Spectrum

High colour fidelity isn't just a specification, it's what keeps your skin tones accurate and your product shots consistent between takes. The Halo 300x achieves CRI 96, TLCI 97, SSI (Tungsten) 84, SSI (D56) 74, and TM-30 Rf 94 with Rg 102. These ratings ensure that warm tones don't skew orange, cool tones stay neutral, and colours remain consistent whether you're matching to window light at 5600K or tungsten practicals at 3200K. The variable CCT range from 2700K to 6500K with stepless dimming from 0 to 100% gives you precise control for any lighting scenario.

Control That Adapts to Your Workflow

The Halo 300x offers three control methods depending on your setup. Onboard control uses separate knobs for brightness and colour temperature, plus an intuitive TFT screen with colour-coded menus. One-tap NFC pairing connects to the Amaran app for wireless control up to 80 metres away, letting you adjust multiple fixtures without leaving your position behind the camera. For larger productions, the optional USB-C to 5-pin DMX adapter integrates the Halo 300x into professional lighting consoles for repeatable cues and multi-light scenes.

Quiet Active Cooling

Active cooling keeps the Halo 300x running efficiently without the noise penalties that often come with higher-output fixtures. In Smart mode, the fan operates at just 28 dBA, quiet enough for dialogue recording and close-mic scenarios. You can also choose Silent mode for completely noise-sensitive work or High mode when maximum output takes priority. The optimised thermal management means the fixture stays cool during extended takes without thermal throttling or performance degradation.

Powerful Output for Growing Production Sets

The 305-watt output delivers 16,200 lux at one metre at 4300K, providing substantial punch for larger modifiers, deep softboxes, or shooting through heavy diffusion without sacrificing intensity. The wider 85-degree beam angle provides more uniform coverage, reducing hotspots and making diffusion more effective. This makes the Halo 300x practical for multi-subject interviews, larger product setups, green screen work, or key lighting scenarios where you need consistent coverage across wider frames without harsh falloff.

Creative Lighting Effects

Nine built-in lighting effects expand your creative options beyond static output:

• Paparazzi for camera flash simulations
• Fireworks for celebration scenes
• Lightning for dramatic weather effects
• Faulty bulb for flickering practicals
• TV for screen flicker emulation
• Pulsing for rhythmic lighting
• Strobe for dynamic sequences
• Explosion for impact moments
• Fire for warm, dancing light
