I'v Been Waiting For A light Like You To Come INto My Life

By James
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-06

These things are great. I was able to get 3 hours and 15 mins of battery life before the light went dark. I hd it set on 100$ brightness,I'm using the onboard control for each light. I did not try and remote operation. Al though I have seen other use remote successfully. Intuitive to set up. Super great carrying case and portable, The setup and teardown will be much faster than my single pole and 3 par can T setup. Constantly adjusting to get the right angle. The light tubes are plug and play. No dang power cords ! Just position and go. Each light has a 3/8 female thread on it's base. I might try to get these up off the floor a little with a small tripod stand with a 3/8 male stud. However I will need to sand bag that stand as it will be tipped easily if windy or bumped into by intoxicated dancers. Thinking about getting another one so I can back light and light the stage.

Great tool for all kinds of shoots

Bought two of these because they were out of the 2-light sets and I'm pleased with their performance after a couple days of shooting. They charge fairly quickly and run on battery for around 4hrs. I used them at 50-100% power throughout that time. I have several Aputure and Amaran lights so being able to control these in the Sidus Link app with the others is super helpful. Great multi-tool to have for all kinds of shoots: using them as practical fixtures in frame in place of fluorescent tubes or just off camera for interviews (horizontal gives a nice soft wrap on the subject's face, vertical creates an edge light).

What's the difference between this model and the T4C? Thank you!
Asked by: Jacobus
The Amaran T4C RGB LED Tube Light (4') has more output, which means it is brighter than the Amaran PT4C RGB LED Pixel Tube Light (4'). The T4C also has built-in DMX, which the PT4C does not.
