Product Information

Full details

The Amaran Halo 300X is a powerful 305W bi-color COB monolight ideal for creators, videographers, and photographers working in home studios, streaming setups, or larger production environments. Its primary benefit is delivering strong, versatile key lighting with an integrated design for ease of use. A potential caveat is its reliance on AC power, making it less portable for on-location shoots without power access. Key features include its high light output, bi-color capability for flexible color temperature adjustment, and intuitive physical controls.

FAQs

What is the power output of the Amaran Halo 300X?

The Amaran Halo 300X delivers 305W of power, providing up to 16,200 lux at 1 meter with an 85° beam angle.

Can I use the Amaran Halo 300X on battery power?

No, the Amaran Halo 300X is designed with an integrated AC power supply and does not support battery operation.

What type of mount does it have for light modifiers?

It features a standard Bowens mount, which is compatible with a wide range of third-party light modifiers.

What is the adjustable color temperature range?

The Halo 300X is a bi-color light, meaning you can adjust the color temperature to match ambient conditions or achieve creative looks.

How do I adjust the brightness and color temperature?

Brightness and color temperature are adjusted using the physical dials and buttons located on the back of the unit.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

While it is compact, it requires a direct AC power source, making it best suited for locations with readily available power outlets, such as studios or venues, rather than completely remote outdoor shoots.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the official Amaran product documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and seller.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the AC power cable is securely connected to both the light and the power outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Brightness or color temperature controls are unresponsive

Turn the light off and then on again. If the issue persists, check the power connection. Contact support if the problem continues.

Overheating warning or auto shut-off

Ensure the light has adequate ventilation. Do not block the vents. Move the light to a cooler environment if operating in high ambient temperatures. Allow the unit to cool down before restarting.

Inconsistent light output

Check for any obstructions in front of the lens. Ensure the power connection is stable. If using with modifiers, ensure they are properly seated and not causing uneven light spread.
