amaran COB 60X S Overview

amaran expands its LED monolight line with the S-series COB 60x S Bi-Color LED Monolight, adopting the quality of light and the compact and lightweight form of the previous COB 60x. Featuring an upgraded LED chipset design, this 65W fixture provides a variable 2700-6500K color temperature and ultra-high SSI score across the board for extremely accurate and improved color reproduction.

A variety of nine lighting effects are easily accessible to help you simulate different creative looks. This is a practical lighting solution for content creators and videographers looking for a portable and quiet light without sacrificing image quality.

Adjustments can be made locally on the unit with an intuitive LCD screen or wirelessly from a distance of up to 262' using your smartphone and the Sidus Link app. The 60x S offers extended power options and is ready for worldwide use thanks to its included 100 to 240 VAC power supply, but it can also run on separately available NP-F or D-Tap batteries for situations when AC current is unavailable. Equipped with a full-size Bowens mount and a stand adapter with an umbrella holder, you get great compatibility with a wide array of light modifiers. A carry bag is supplied as well for storage and on-the-go productions.

Detailed Color Fidelity System
The S series has improved spectral continuity to achieve the enhanced color quality of an ultra-high SSI (Tungsten) of 90 and (D56) of 87, a 17.5% increase in SSI from its predecessor. Impressive ratings of CRI 96, TLCI 97, CQS 95, TM-30 Rf 96, and TM-30 Rg 100 are your assurance of a high degree of accuracy in color reproduction at all times. Suitable for home studios or live stream setups, the significantly improved spectral quality of the 60x S will ensure accurate skin tone reproduction for your videos.
Powerful Output with Mini Hyper Reflector
The 60x S emits up to 2427 lux at a distance of 3.3' at 5600K. When equipped with the included mini hyper reflector, the light's output climbs to an impressive 33,300 lux. A soft diffusion cover is included for use with the reflector.
Preset Effects
The light has nine special effects, including paparazzi, fireworks, lightning, faulty bulb, TV, pulse, strobe, explosion, and fire.
Compact and Versatile
The amaran 60x S is as compact as a camera yet comes with full Bowens mount versatility. You can combine it with a large selection of optional modifiers, including the Light Box 45x45, Light Dome SE, Light Dome Mini II, and Aputure Lantern.

What would I need to mount this light to "Oben Magnetic Mount with 1/4"-20 Mounting Screw"?
Asked by: Jason
I have a follow up question but I want to reference what I'm thinking of doing. I work on a ship and my cabin has magnetic materials on the walls and ceiling. I want to mount this light to the ceiling which means no light stands which means lighter luggage. So I want something that will back the light off the mount some, so that I might be able to add modifiers to it. Got anything like that?

The mounting bracket doesn't fit securely to the top of my Impact light stand. Is there an adapter I should use?
Asked by: Dave
There is a "Swivel Mount: 5/8" Receiver to 1/4"-20 Male Screw" adapter included with the amaran COB 60x S Bi-Color LED Monolight which will work with a light stand having a 5/8" stud on the top; the amaran light fixture itself has a female 1/4" thread which will work with a light stand having a 1/4" mounting screw on the top.

What is the main differences of this [Aputure] amaran 60x and the Light Storm 60x from Aputure?
Asked by: Huy
Aputure LS 60x Bi-Color LED Focusing Flood Light BH #APLS60X • MFR #APA0183A20 is a tighter spotlight while the cob amaran COB 60x S Bi-Color LED Monolight BH #AMAPA0020A20 can be a tight spot or a wide flood and can accept a wide range of bowens mount modifiers. And the Aputure LS 60x Bi-Color LED Focusing Flood Light BH #APLS60X is more compact and can accept further dedicated spot attachments to further project and modify the light.
