Aputure Tri-8 Overview

Well-suited for studio or location work, the Amaran Tri-8 3-Light Kit from Aputure is a flexible, comprehensive kit that offers color temperature control and a tight beam angle. The kit includes a Tri-8c Bi-Color LED Light with a 45-degree medium-flood beam angle and color that's variable from 2300 to 6800K. The two included Tri-8s Daylight Spot LED Lights have a 5500K color temperature and a 25-degree beam angle for selective lighting or long-throw work. Each light comes with a wireless remote with a range of 492', a V-mount battery plate, an AC adapter, two F-970 batteries, a 10.8 x 9.25" softbox, and a carry bag.

Aputure Amaran Tri-8s Spot Daylight LED Light with V-Mount Battery Plate

The Amaran Tri-8s Spot Daylight LED Light with V-Mount Battery Plate from Aputure is a powerful, full-featured 10.3 x 7.8 x 3.6" LED light source with a rugged aircraft-grade aluminum body and an impact-proof casing that protects its 888 LEDs. The Tri-8s has a 5500K color temperature that integrates well with similar fixtures or daylight-dominated ambient light situations. The light has a 25-degree beam angle for tight directional control, an output equivalent to a 600W tungsten source, and a high CRI/TLCI rating of 95+, indicating accurate color rendering. The dimmable Tri-8s's light intensity is adjustable on the fixture or at distances up to 492' using the included 3-channel wireless remote control. Like all LED lights, this one runs barely warm to the touch thanks to a quiet fanless thermal management, making for a cooler studio and comfortable talent.

The Tri-8s Spot can be stand-mounted via its 1/4"-20 tap or handheld vertically or horizontally by using the stainless steel U-handles at the back of the fixture. The Tri-8s Spot is ready for worldwide use thanks to the inclusion of a 100-240 VAC adapter but it can also run on V-mount batteries when mains power is unavailable. An EZ Box softbox is provided to soften the Tri-8s Spot's output while adding a flattering quality of light with manageable contrast. A carry bag is also included.

High Power, Small Package
The Amaran Tri-8 packs impressive power in a small package. It packs 888 high-CRI (95+) LEDs into a 10.3 x 7.8" panel. The high LED count means the Tri-8 is capable of outputting 24,000 lux @ 1.6', which is equivalent to a 600W tungsten fixture.
AC or Battery Power
You can run the Tri-8 on mains current with the included adapter or on battery power thanks to the inclusion of two F970 batteries.
Thermal Management
The Amaran Tri-8 has a fanless thermal management system. With gold lamp beads on the inside, a custom aluminum plate, and the external increase of the flow-type cooling fins, cooling is maximized across the unit.
Solid Metal Build
The rugged Amaran Tri-8 has an aircraft-grade aluminum body and slim design, allowing for efficient heat airflow while maintaining a durable structure. To further enforce its durability, the LED bulbs are covered by an impact-proof polycarbonate casing.
Functionality and Portability
The stainless steel handles in the back of the light allow you to position the light either vertically or horizontally. The light can be used on a stand, or handheld for fast-paced on-the-go shoots.
EZ Box Included
The Amaran Tri-8 comes with an EZ Box to maximize your light-shaping capabilities. The EZ Box softbox prevents spill light, reduces contrast, and provides high quality diffusion. Since the Tri-8 is virtually the same size as the 528/672, the EZ Box and grid are also compatible with this new light fixture. This also includes a growing list of third party softbox offerings that can work with the Amaran Tri-8.
VA Remote Included
The Amaran Tri-8 comes with the same 2.4 GHz remote used on most of Aputure's lights. The VA remote has three channels, four groups, and works up to 492' away. Using the remote, you are able to control the brightness of the Tri-8.
Aputure Amaran Tri-8c Bicolor LED Light with V-Mount Battery Plate

The Amaran Tri-8c Bicolor LED Light with V-Mount Battery Plate from Aputure is a powerful, full-featured 10.3 x 7.8 x 3.6" LED light source with a rugged aircraft-grade aluminum body and an impact-proof casing that protects its 888 LEDs. The Tri-8c has a color temperature that's variable from a warm 2300K to a cool 6800K or anywhere in between to match other fixtures, ambient light situations, or just for creative effects. Light intensity is also variable and can be adjusted along with the color temperature on the fixture or at distances up to 492' with the included 3-channel wireless remote control. The light has a 45-degree beam angle for medium-wide coverage, an output equivalent to a 600W tungsten source, and a high CRI/TLCI rating of 95+, indicating accurate color rendering. Like all LED lights, this one runs barely warm to the touch thanks to a quiet fanless thermal management, making for a cooler studio and comfortable talent.

The Tri-8c can be stand-mounted via its 1/4"-20 tap or handheld vertically or horizontally by using the stainless steel U-handles at the back of the fixture. The Tri-8c is ready for worldwide use thanks to the inclusion of a 100-240 VAC adapter but it can also run on V-mount batteries when mains power is unavailable. An EZ Box softbox is provided to soften the Tri-8c's output while adding a flattering quality of light with manageable contrast. A carry bag is also included.

Aputure Tri-8 Reviews

Great lights

By Patricia
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2019-03-19

The lights are great, but the mounting hardware is not very sturdy (hence the 4 star instead of 5 star review). The spigot screw ends were stripped - had to go out and buy replacements in order to mount the lights on my Kupo stands.

Perfect all around solution to a one man show.

I typically work solo, sometimes with one other person so I've been looking for a lighting kit that is compact, easy to set up, can travel, is bright enough to battle windows, battery powered & AC, dimmable, not to harsh, great color rendering, extremely bright and less expensive than 3 Astras & a mortgage in Anton Baur batteries.� THIS KIT DOES IT.� They are extremely bright, easy to use & super compact. Checked all the boxes and they come with an extremely well made carrying case (surprising), And literally every accessory you could need including 3 remotes when you would typically only need one. The Light output is very impressive, 3 of these go a long way. The build quality is extremely rugged, they feel like power tools not camera gear.� Only gripe would be the "EZ Soft Boxes" there is nothing easy about them, they are incredibly cumbersome, it's like building a cheap pop up tent 3 times over and if you leave the brackets on the sides they are juuuust a little to big to fit comfortably in the bag.� Other than that this kit is worth every penny & checks every box for a working professionals 3 point lighting kit on the go.

question

Hi does this ship with euro 240v ac plug adaptors
Asked by: Bryan
No. The AC adapter accepts 100-240V though, and uses the industry standard IEC 320 C13/C14 Connector.

Can barn doors be added to any of the lights?

Can barn doors be added to any of the lights?
Asked by: Jennifer
Short answer is no. Not built for it. One of the most important things in my grip kit is a roll of Rosco Matte Black Cinefoil. I use it for barn doors and to shape light on many different types of fixtures. I use it on my Tri8s all the time. One 12"x50' roll will last for years because it is so heavy duty you can use it over and over again. It works better than fixed barn doors because you can shape it to precisely control light or shadows. You can shape it to make barn doors, snoot, flags, gobos and much more. Cheapest and best lighting accessory you will ever buy.
