Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Exceptionally compact at roughly 4x4x4 inches and only 695 grams, making it one of the most portable COB lights available.
- Outstanding color accuracy with CRI 96, TLCI 99, and TM-30 scores that rival far more expensive fixtures.
- Bowens Mount plus built-in umbrella holder gives broad modifier compatibility without adapters.
- Eight built-in lighting effects provide creative flexibility for narrative and content work.
- Dual power options — AC adapter and NP-F battery plate included — cover both studio and location shooting.
👎 Cons
- Fixed 5600K daylight only, so it cannot match tungsten or mixed-temperature environments without gels.
- 65W output may be insufficient for large sets or situations requiring punch through heavy diffusion.
- Maximum modifier weight of 2.5 kg limits use with larger, heavier softboxes and modifiers.
- D-Tap power cable is sold separately despite the light being marketed for location use.
- No built-in dimming knob on the body — fine adjustments rely on the app or rear controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color temperature of the Amaran 60d S?
The 60d S is a daylight-balanced light fixed at 5600K. It is not bi-color — if you need tunable color temperature, look at the 60x S model instead.
Can I use this light with battery power on location?
Yes. The 60d S includes a dual NP-F battery plate, and it also supports D-Tap batteries via a separately sold D-Tap power cable, making it viable for field use.
What light modifiers are compatible with this fixture?
It uses a standard Bowens Mount, so it works with a wide range of softboxes, beauty dishes, and other modifiers. Aputure recommends keeping modifier weight under 2.5 kg. The stand adapter also includes an umbrella holder.
How do I control the light remotely?
The 60d S has built-in Sidus Mesh technology, allowing wireless control through the free Sidus Link app on your phone. You can adjust intensity, trigger lighting effects, and control multiple units from one device.
How bright is it compared to larger COB lights?
At 65W, it produces 37,800 lux at 1 meter with the included standard reflector. It is not meant to replace 300W+ fixtures but offers impressive output for its size and weight class.
