The Aputure LS 300x Bi-Color LED Monolight Gold Mountfrom Aputure LS 300x Bi-Color LED Monolight Gold Mountis the first Aputure light to go beyond traditional bi-color lighting by utilizing the expanded vari-white CCT range of 2700-6500K, providing warmer tungsten tones and cooler than daylight whites. The brilliant light can be dimmed from a potent main light to a subtle, nuanced fill light, flicker free across the dimming range. It emits up to 20,500 lux at 3.3' with its included 55° Hyper Reflector. The Controller Box attached to the LS 300x head with a 9.8' head extension cable, so adjusting settings is effortless regardless of where the light is set. The self-regulating, multi-voltage controller also operates using single or dual Gold mount batteries, suitable for lighting in remote locations.

Combining the latest optical color-blending technology with Aputure's dual-color LED chipset provides an unprecedented flexibility from a single LED fixture. A specially-designed color-blending optical element in front of the chipset combines the LED output into a single cohesive point light source. The highly-efficient light output renders at CRI 96, TLCI 96, plus higher than industry standard SS1 85, and D55-SSI 74 ratings. This level of efficiency means colors and skin tones will be reproduced with an extremely-high degree of accuracy.

Intuitive local controls and a bright LCD display on the Controller Box allow precise and repeatable setups locally. In addition, the output may be controlled using the included 2.4 GHz wireless remote, or the light may be integrated into a DMX network via the 5-pin XLR in/out ports. Also, thanks to Aputure's integrated Sidus Mesh network chipset, all the 300x's functions may be controlled by the Sidus Link app, free to download for iOS and Android portable devices. The app also allows saving presets, adjusting/triggering lighting effects, luminance, and CCT, as well as installation of firmware updates, all from your smartphone or tablet.

Constant Output Mode allows precision CCT adjustment while maintaining constant luminance, and even shift color temperature seamlessly during a scene. Max Output Mode will maximize CCT and dimming levels within the 4000-5500K range.

The integrated Bowens-S mount allows using an almost limitless number of available modifiers to narrow, diffuse, or otherwise sculpt the light to suit any application or creative vision.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this flicker free? I'd like to use it with a phantom high speed camera, and feedback on flicker seemes mixed.

A: Yes, 100 % flicker free.

Q: 2. Can this light except an umbrella modifier?

A: The Aputure LS 300x Bi-Color LED Monolight (V-Mount) does not have a built-in hole to accept the shaft from an umbrella. As such, you would have to purchase an adapter such as the Impact Swivel Umbrella Adapter, B&H # IMCA108, which has an umbrella socket built into the adapter. It is compatible for use with umbrellas that have 7mm and 8mm umbrella shafts. Do note that the center of the umbrella will not be aligned with the light head, so you will have to tilt the light fixture to aim it toward the center of the umbrella.

Q: 3. Can this use the same accessories as the 300D? (ie fresnel attachment and lantern softbox)

A: Yes it will.

Q: 4. Which v lock batteries are recommended, 12a or 15a? Does it make a difference?

A: This Aputure can run on batteries rated from 12 to 16.4 VDC. Most V mount batteries are rated at about 14.8VDC. If you want to look into the science of power supplies check out this link: https://www.teamwavelength.com/power-supply-basics/

Q: 5. The particular Watson V-mount battery that is the 'recommended accessories' is not rated at 190Wh (or higher) like the B and H staff person (Byron) said that Aputure recommends. It's mind boggling that B and H makes this so confusing. Watson does make a 192 and a 198 Wh battery. Wouldn't these be the best fit to power these Aputure lights?

A: To clarify, the Watson Pro Cine High-Load V-Mount Battery, B&H # WAVM99HCSR currently offered an accessory is able to handle the high draw of 15 amps on this Aputure lamphead. However, it will not run the light at full power as long as a battery that is 190Wh or higher. If you prefer a longer run time at full power, the Watson Pro Buddy System High-Load V-Mount Battery BH #WAVM198BHLE would be a better option. https://bhpho.to/2ClkpwG
