Does the F21X operate at full power with a 14V V-mount battery? I have read that the larger F22C drops to 50%.
Asked by: David
The amaran F21x Bi-Color LED Flexible Mat (2 x 1', V-Mount) will run at 50 percent of full power using 14v batteries.

Do the power cables listed in the accessories section extend the head cable length to add distance between the light and controller? Reviews suggest that the fan noise is loud, so I would want to move it away from microphones.
Asked by: David
Unfortunately, no, it does not appear that the cables listed under the Accessories section will extend the distance of the controller from the light fixture head on the amaran F21x Bi-Color LED Mat (V-Mount, 2 x 1').

With the gold mount version will the AC power supply attach to the control box?
Asked by: Alexander
The amaran F21x 2x1 Bi-Color LED Flexible Mat (Gold Mount) or the V mount are the same. Just if you use a battery one uses Gold mount and the other uses V mount batteries. But both can plug into a wall outlet.
