Aputure Spotlight Max Overview

Built for high-output LED fixtures, Aputure introduces its most powerful projection lens, the Spotlight Max. This optical modifier instantly transforms Bowens mount LED lights with 600 to 2600W of power output into a perfectly circular spotlight. Optimized to work with the brand's LS 600 Series, LS 1200d Pro, and the Electro Storm CS15 and XT26 fixtures, this is the spotlight filmmakers and lighting technicians have been waiting for.

The result of the Spotlight Max's stellar optical projection performance is a tight and intense beam of light with a further reach and even, shapeable output. With internal cutters, you can easily shape the beam for sharp cuts and precise control. This kit includes a 36° lens, a rotatable gobo clip, and three A-sized gobos for unique light projection shapes. A robust, rolling hard case packs it all for storage, protection, and transportation.

High-Output Projection Lens Modifier
The Spotlight Max's precision optics will elevate the capabilities of your high-output Bowens Mount point-source light. Its efficient light-blending optical design is compatible with full-color fixtures that can be easily magnified, bringing a new level of flexibility and enhanced output from them.
Accurate & Custom Precision Optics
The light quality emitted by the Spotlight Max is accurate and precise. Engineered to eliminate chromatic aberration and color shift, the Spotlight Max's advanced internal matting also minimizes light leaks. Users will appreciate a highly color-accurate light projection and evenly-lit illumination circle.
Telecentric Optical Technology
Featuring advanced telecentric optical elements, the Spotlight Max produces an even edge-to-edge light distribution with minimal edge-fringing. This technology ensures that the difference between the output field angle and the beam angle is significantly minimized, resulting in a clean beam without hot spots.
Advanced Degree of Control
Highly versatile, you can easily swap between the Spotlight Max lens options. The interchangeable 19, 36, and 50° lenses allow users to precisely shape their light. This kit comes with the 36° lens, but the other lenses are available separately to cover a wide range of light projection needs on set.
Shape Your Way
For further light manipulation, the Spotlight Max offers an array of light-shaping tools to expand your possibilities.
  • Compatible with A- and B-sized metal and glass gobos
  • Compatible with ETC lenses via optional ETC lens adapter
  • Compatible with optional Spotlight Max iris
  • Compatible with optional gobo kit that includes a variety of 10 gobos
Additional Benefits
  • Integrated four-leaf cutter for precise and subtle light shaping
  • Detachable yoke allows rigging flexibility
  • Included rotatable gobo clip for easy adjustments
Durable & Portable
The Spotlight Max is constructed with an all-metal housing. The included flight case has space for all the supplied accessories: the 36° lens, gobo clip, and gobos.

Aputure Spotlight Max Reviews

Light and case are huge.

This seems like a heavy duty well made spotlight. I think because of its size it would be best suited for a studio or a 5 ton grip truck. It was way too much for me. The spot light case is twice the size of the light case.

Almost perfect

I have been waiting for this for a long time and finally got the product. I use it mainly for photography in my studio. Now I have only had it for a short while and coupled with my 600C Pro it works great. But one thing ruins the product user experience completely. The gobo holder is a such a nightmare to open and close. Even when cold it’s cumbersome but when it’s glowing hot taking out that ring is near impossible. So while it’s great overall this flaw makes the product inconvenient, time consuming and annoying to use… Such a shame…

Is there a gel holder? Or is it safe to put gels in front of the lens?
Asked by: Kalvin
There is not a gel holder made for the Aputure Spotlight Max Kit with 36° Lens. One can use a gel with it, over the front, but allow for airflow and keep an eye out, as the gel can melt over time.

Asked by: Rick
12x12" gels are used with the Aputure Spotlight Max Kit with 19° Lens, so you would need a holder of that size; there are many gels listed under "Accessories" on that product page. There are also gobos, an iris, and additional lenses available.
