Overview

The Aputure Amaran 300c sits at the intersection of output power and creative color control — it's a 300W full-color COB fixture that can serve as a daylight-balanced key light on a commercial shoot in the morning and a deep amber practical simulation in a narrative scene in the afternoon. The RGBWW design covers more than 90% of the Rec.2020 color space with 360° HSI control, meaning hue, saturation, and intensity can be independently fine-tuned to match any reference — a tungsten practical, a neon sign, a sunset sky. With CRI and TLCI ratings above 95, the light holds its color accuracy under camera scrutiny, which matters when you're relying on in-camera color science and minimal post-correction. The 2,500K to 7,500K CCT range with green-magenta adjustment covers the full working range from warm tungsten interiors to cool overcast exteriors.

The Bowens Mount on the 300c is the practical gateway to a full light shaping ecosystem — the included Hyper Reflector maximizes output to 26,580 lux at 1 meter, a figure that gives this fixture real authority as a key or sun-replacement source. Swap in a large softbox and that output trades for quality: wrapping, shadow-softening light suited to portrait and beauty work. Physical controls on the body handle CCT and brightness adjustments without requiring a phone, and the Sidus Mesh wireless system via the Sidus Link App adds remote control, color-matching tools, and synchronized lighting effects for multi-fixture rigs. The 48V DC input makes battery operation possible with the Aputure power station, extending the 300c's utility beyond studio and AC-accessible locations.

Key Features

The amaran 300c is amaran’s first-ever full-color 300W Bowens Mount point-source LED light, combining RGBWW full-color control, optical and soft light Bowens Mount versatility, integrated controls, and most importantly, high-quality light output.

Bi-color CCT range of 2,500K to 7,500K with green-magenta adjustment and 360° HSI color control with >90% coverage of the Rec.2020 Color Space. And with high CRI/TLCI [95+], SSI (D56) [71], and SSI (Tungsten) [83] scores

The amaran 300c also punches well above its weight class, outputting 26,580 lux (5600K) using the included Hyper Reflector combined with 0-100% dimming control.

Using Sidus Mesh technology, the amaran 300c can be controlled wirelessly. The Sidus Link App can help match colors perfectly with Color Picker and activate 9 System FX including Party Lights, Cop Car, Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, Faulty Bulb, TV, Explosion, Fire, Pulsing, and Strobe.

With its 48V DC power input the 150c can freely switch between the AC adapter for studio shoots or the flexibility of battery power using with the Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station(not include battery)

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • The 360° HSI color control with Rec.2020 coverage gives cinematographers and photographers the ability to dial in any hue precisely — color-matching practical light sources or creating stylized looks without gels.
  • 26,580 lux output at 1 meter with the Hyper Reflector gives the 300c genuine reach and punch for daylight supplementation, rim lighting, or large-space key lighting.
  • Bowens Mount compatibility opens the full ecosystem of light shaping modifiers, making this a versatile foundation for any lighting kit.
  • CRI and TLCI scores of 95+ ensure that skin tones and product colors reproduce accurately on camera with minimal correction needed in post.
  • Battery power compatibility via 48V DC input enables true location portability, removing AC dependency for outdoor and run-and-gun shoots.

👎 Cons

  • At 300W, the 300c generates significant heat during extended sessions — thermal management is built in, but fan noise may be audible in quiet on-set environments or controlled studio recording situations.
  • The included Hyper Reflector produces a hard, specular light quality — achieving softer output requires purchasing Bowens Mount softboxes separately, adding cost and setup time.
  • Full RGBWW color mode can show reduced output versus CCT-only mode, meaning maximum brightness is only available when operating in white light — a trade-off inherent to COB RGBWW design.
  • Battery power station and batteries are not included, so the location power capability requires additional investment to actually use.
  • The fixture's size and weight are substantial — this is a studio and semi-permanent location light, not a lightweight grab-and-go solution for mobile photographers.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 300c accepts the full range of standard Bowens Mount light shaping tools — softboxes, octaboxes, beauty dishes, grids, and reflectors. The included Hyper Reflector is optimized for maximum output, producing the rated 26,580 lux figure. Switching to a large softbox will significantly reduce output but transform the quality from a hard point source to a large, wrapping soft light — a common trade-off on narrative and portrait sets.
Color accuracy is strong across the rated spectrum. The 300c carries CRI and TLCI scores of 95+, which means skin tones and saturated colors render accurately on camera without requiring corrective gels or heavy grade work. The SSI scores (71 for D56 daylight, 83 for tungsten) reflect how closely the spectral output matches reference illuminants — the tungsten score is particularly solid for matching practical lamp environments.
Yes — the 300c has integrated physical controls on the body for direct adjustment of CCT, brightness, and HSI color. The Sidus Link App adds wireless control, color matching via the Color Picker tool, and access to the 9 built-in lighting effects, but the light is fully functional without a connected device.
Yes — with a 48V DC input, the 300c can run from the Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station, enabling untethered location shooting where AC power isn't available. The battery station and batteries are sold separately. For studio work, the included AC adapter is the standard power source.
Sidus Mesh is a wireless mesh networking protocol that allows multiple Aputure and Amaran fixtures to communicate and be controlled from a single Sidus Link App session. You can group lights, adjust them individually or in unison, and synchronize effects like lightning or strobe across the full rig — useful for large commercial sets or dynamic narrative lighting scenarios.
