Overview

The Aputure Amaran 100D is a daylight-balanced LED fixture that delivers 100 watts of output at a fixed 5600K color temperature, targeting videographers, photographers, and content creators who need reliable, natural-looking illumination. With CRI and TLCI ratings above 95, it produces accurate color rendition that holds up in broadcast, studio, and documentary settings. The light outputs up to 39,500 lux at one meter when paired with its Hyper-Reflector, giving it impressive reach for a compact single-point source.

Control is handled through both an on-board intensity knob for quick brightness adjustments from 0–100% and the Sidus Link app, which connects via Bluetooth at ranges up to 80 meters. The app unlocks the full suite of eight pre-programmed lighting effects — including lightning, TV flicker, and fireworks — making it useful for narrative and creative projects beyond standard key and fill setups. The universal Bowens mount opens the door to a vast ecosystem of modifiers, while the built-in umbrella hole adds another rigging option. With a built-in 100–240V power supply for worldwide AC use and an optional 48V DC battery input for field work, the Amaran 100D is designed to move seamlessly between studio and location without requiring additional accessories beyond the battery itself.
