On the Move
The amaran COB 60d is an ultra-compact daylight LED video light with surprising output and full Bowens-mount versatility. It is the latest point-source LED video light from the amaran COB series, featuring a 65W daylight output.
Powerful Output
Using cutting-edge LED technology, the amaran COB 60d uses its 65W COB LED, with a max power draw of 76W, to output a staggering 45,100 lux at 3.3' with the specially designed Hyper Reflector Mini (15°). Inside its compact form factor lies the ability to compete with difficult lighting conditions to make your subject shine. It also features 0 to 100% dimming control to ensure that you can always find the right level of illumination for your scene.
Beautiful Color Fidelity
Many do not realize that light affects the very colors that we see. Bad light can bring nasty green or magenta hues that make your subject look sick. On the flip side, great lighting has the power to bring out the most brilliant colors found in nature. Scoring a 96+ (out of 100) on the Television Lighting Consistency Index, the amaran light series guarantees that you see beautiful colors on every shoot.
Compact Design
The 60d is as compact as a camera, weighing just 1.49 lb and measuring 4 x 4 x 4". The amaran COB 60d is easily smaller than most of the modifiers you'll add to the light, and its size and weight make it incredibly easy to hide or rig in a variety of locations.
Universal Accessory Mount
The amaran 60d integrates a full-size Bowens mount into its compact form factor, meaning that it can be easily transformed into a hard or soft light. The amaran 60d's accessory mount is compatible with a wide variety of Bowens-mount soft light modifiers, including the Aputure Light Dome SE, Light Dome Mini II, and Lantern. In addition to the Bowens mount, the amaran 60d's stand adapter also has an umbrella holder for even faster speed and softness.
Lighting FX
The amaran 60d launches with 8 built-in lighting FX including paparazzi, fireworks, lightning, faulty bulb, TV, pulsing, strobe, and explosion, opening up new possibilities for precise lighting control.
Sidus Link App Control
Lighting should be fun and easy. With the integration of Sidus Mesh, the amaran COB 60d gives you professional lighting control with a single app, so you can adjust your light without ever having to leave your camera. Mesh technology means that every light in the Aputure and amaran product lines will automatically connect to each other and expand the range of your network. With the Sidus Link App, you can control up to 100 lights from your smartphone or tablet. Adjust each light to perfection by adjusting aspects like brightness, color temperature, built-in effects, and even programming effects between multiple fixtures.

amaran COB 60D Reviews

Bright and Light

By Quinton
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-15

Powerful little light that I mostly use as a rim. Barn doors might make a nice addition to your setup but this does the job and make sure not to throw away the little diffusion package. I almost thought it was a silica packet. Love the NPF battery sled.

Light on a budget

A great starter light for those of us who are on a budget. And since it's not the most powerful light out there, it's especially great for product photography.

Small. Bright.

Upgraded from the Godox SL60W to this and I'm pleased so far. Two NP-F950 Batteries only last for about 8 minutes at 70% brightness (your mileage may vary). Note that it doesn't fully deplete the batteries in that time. My guess is that that's as much power draw it can sustain for that long.

Great compact light. Can't wait to see how it performs during an upcoming portrait session. Pairs well with my 120d.

I've been working on some low budget documentaries. After ordering this light, I'm amazed at what you can accomplish with such a small footprint. I plan on adding another one for more options. For the budget and new project, this was worth the money.

amaran COB 60d Daylight LED Monolight

By Constantin
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-10

This amaran COB 60d Daylight LED Monolight is a good light. I wish it was a little smaller, thou is pretty small and I hope amaran will change their battery mount. Maybe they could change the battery mount from the right side to the back of the light providing they'll move everything from the back to where is the battery mount now. Although fan noise is low it can be even quieter. In all fairness I couldn't notice fan noise being picked up by the lav mic. If someone from amaran reads this hopefully they'll implement these changes. It's possible to make this good cob light , a great one. All in all I have three of them and they serve my needs, they're good. Hope this helps.

Little Box, Big Light

By Patrick
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-18

Nearly perfect package. I'd put this in the 4.5 territory. One thing that really should've come with this bundle is the D-Tap to 5.5mm DC barrel connector. The light has a v-mount on the side for your battery, but lacks a connector out of the box. Still, really excellent product. Pros: Powerful, small light source Great controls despite lack of knobs/buttons Bluetooth connectivity Comes with power adapter Comes with carrying case Comes with mounting pin/tilting mount Scale/weight allows for variety of mounting options Cons: Build quality is appropriate for the price, but isn't confidence inspiring Supplied reflector dish is mediocre at best Supplied carrying case... Is fine for transport Would have rather received d-tap connector over NP-F battery plate Truly, it's hard to improve upon a product of this quality in this price range. I'd have happily paid around $150 for just the spectacular, portable light. The bundle itself is excellent for working professionals or those starting to work on solo content creation. It is strong enough to be a key light, useful both indoors and outdoors, comes with (nearly) everything you need to get started, and packs incredibly well. The number of applications this can be used in is incredible. I love this space that's opening up within powerful-portable lighting, and cannot wait to see what Aputure/Amaran bring out next.
