Product Information
Full details
The Amaran Ace 25c Creator Kit is designed for on-the-go content creators who need a portable, full-color LED light. Its key benefit is providing versatile, high-quality illumination in a compact package, perfect for enhancing video and photo content anywhere. A potential caveat is its 32W maximum power output, which may be insufficient for very large or intensely lit scenes without additional lights. This all-in-one kit features a 32W RGBWW LED light with 360° color control, the innovative Ace Lock quick-release mount for rapid setup, superior brightness and battery life compared to similar pocket lights, and a power bank function.

Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB power source using the provided USB-C cable and check if the charging indicator lights up. If using the battery, confirm it has sufficient charge.
Light flickers during use
Check the power connection; a loose cable or insufficient power from the source can cause flickering. Try a different USB cable or power adapter. Ensure the battery is not critically low.
App cannot connect to the light
Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. Ensure the light is powered on and within Bluetooth range. Try closing and reopening the amaran app, or restarting both the light and your mobile device.
Brightness seems low
Check if the light is in a low-power mode or if the battery is depleted. Ensure the output is not set to a minimum. Verify that the `Boost Mode` is enabled if maximum output is required (note: Boost Mode consumes more battery).
Light overheats
If the light feels excessively hot, especially during prolonged use at maximum brightness, allow it to cool down. Reduce the brightness or usage time. Ensure ventilation around the light is not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves attaching the light to its mounting point, typically via the amaran Ace Lock quick-release system. This system allows for one-second attachment to compatible mounts or tripods. The included mini tripod can be used for freestanding placement.
Compatibility: The Ace 25c uses a standard USB-C port for charging and power. It can be powered by external USB power sources, including power banks, allowing for extended use beyond its internal battery. The Ace Lock mount is designed to work with amaran Ace Lock accessories.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the LED panel clean. Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials or liquids that could damage the lens or electronics. Store the light and accessories in the provided carrying bag to protect them from dust and physical damage during transport and storage. Ensure the device is operated within its specified temperature range (-10 to 40 °C).
