AMARAN 100XS LED Video Light

Compact Powerhouse: AMARAN 100XS LED Video Light

The AMARAN 100XS represents a breakthrough in compact lighting technology, delivering 100W of professional output in a remarkably small package. This versatile COB LED light from Aputure’s value-focused AMARAN line bridges the gap between affordability and professional features. Featuring full-color temperature tuning from 2700K to 6500K, plus RGB mode for creative coloring, it adapts to any shooting scenario. Moreover, its built-in wireless control and V-mount battery compatibility make it ideal for run-and-gun filmmakers, photographers, and content creators needing powerful, portable light.

Professional Output in a Compact Design

Unleash professional-grade lighting without the bulk. The AMARAN 100XS utilizes an efficient COB LED that outputs light equivalent to a traditional 500W tungsten fixture.

Sidus Link Wireless Ecosystem

Take full control wirelessly with Aputure’s proprietary app. The AMARAN 100XS integrates seamlessly into the Sidus Link ecosystem via Bluetooth. Therefore, you can adjust brightness, color temperature, RGB values, and effects from your phone. The app allows grouping multiple lights for synchronized control. Additionally, you can save and recall custom lighting scenes instantly. Furthermore, firmware updates via the app ensure your light evolves. This smart functionality brings studio-level control to portable lighting according to manufacturer innovation standards.

Power Flexibility & Battery Operation

Shoot anywhere with versatile power solutions. The AMARAN 100XS accepts 11-17V DC input via its included power supply. Consequently, it works reliably in any studio. For location work, it supports V-mount batteries (14.8V) directly via a dedicated port. A single 98Wh V-mount battery typically provides approximately 45 minutes at full power. Additionally, the light features a clear battery level indicator. Moreover, its efficient design draws less power than comparable fixtures. This freedom enables truly mobile filmmaking without generators.

Bowens Mount & Modifier Compatibility

Shape your light with a world of modifiers. The AMARAN 100XS features a standard Bowens S-type mount. Therefore, it is instantly compatible with hundreds of softboxes, umbrellas, reflectors, and grids from brands like Aputure, Godox, and Neewer. The included compact fresnel lens provides focusable spot-to-flood control. Additionally, the light’s compact size pairs perfectly with smaller softboxes for ultra-portable kits. This open ecosystem approach maximizes creative flexibility for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Advanced Color & Control Features

Master color for any creative vision. Beyond standard CCT tuning, the AMARAN 100XS offers a full RGB mode with 0-360° hue and 0-100% saturation control. Therefore, you can match practical lights or create vibrant effects. The light includes 13 special effects like TV, flashlight, and paparazzi for dynamic scenes. Additionally, it features a dimming curve selection (Linear/Log) for precise brightness adjustment. Moreover, its consistent color output across dim levels ensures reliable results. These features make it a powerful tool for narrative and commercial work.

Build Quality & Thermal Management

Rely on robust construction designed for real-world use. The AMARAN 100XS features a durable aluminum housing that dissipates heat effectively. Consequently, it can maintain full output without thermal throttling. The quiet, fanless design is crucial for interview and dialogue recording. Additionally, the yoke offers smooth 330° pan and 180° tilt with secure locking knobs. Furthermore, the unit includes a standard 1/4″-20 thread for mounting to light stands. This professional build ensures longevity according to safety and durability standards.
