amaran PT2C Overview

By B&H Photo's

The PT2c RGB LED Pixel Tube Light from amaran is a 2' long RGBWW LED pixel tube made for image makers who want more unique lighting options and effects in product cinematography. The high-efficiency chipset produces stellar color quality and accurate skin tones throughout its CCT range of 2700 to 10,000K with full green-magenta control, achieving high CRI, TLCI, and SSI values across the board. The design features eight built-in pixels that can be independently adjusted and assigned an HIS value via the integrated controls or remotely using the Sidus Link app for Bluetooth devices. The PT2c can also be controlled by DMX using the separately available USB-C to DMX Adapter.

Inside its sleek T12 form factor, this lightweight LED tube is powered by an internal, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which utilizes a ubiquitous USB-C port for easy charging. Each endcap houses a 3/8-16" threaded mount and has a 5-sided design to position it on flat surfaces without it rolling out of place.

Built-In Lighting Effects

Fireworks, fire, paparazzi, faulty bulb, TV, pulsing, cop car, lightning, party lights

7 Pixel FX:

DMX Functionality
DMX control is available via a separately available USB-C to DMX adapter. DMX function adds 12 built-in DMX profiles and DMX loss behaviors.
Create Multiple Shapes
The shape combinations that can be created using the PT2c are endless, with the ability to use separately available splicing connectors to arrange the tubes in multiple 3D shapes. The PT2c can be combined with other PT-Series LED tubes.

Can you put it on check-in luggage and travel with an airplane? Will the included battery cause an issue with check-in the bag?
Asked by: Elenida
Per the TSA guidelines, devices with a battery BUILT IN and non removable are allowed to be checked. I’ve checked these in multiple times with no issues. It’s spare batteries up to 100wh that you have to carry-on. I don’t recall if there’s a limit for checked, but I would look at the TSA guidelines for battery storage
