FAQs

What is the maximum power output of the Amaran Halo 100x?

The Amaran Halo 100x is a 100W COB monolight, delivering up to 4,890 lux at 1 meter with its native beam angle.

Can I power the Halo 100x with a standard USB-C cable?

No, it requires a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) source that can supply the necessary wattage. A standard USB-C charging cable will not be sufficient.

What is the colour temperature range?

The Halo 100x is a bi-colour light, meaning its colour temperature is adjustable. Specific range details can be found in the full technical specifications.

Does it come with any light modifiers?

The Amaran Halo 100x typically comes with a basic reflector. It is compatible with Bowens Mount modifiers, which can be purchased separately.

How heavy is the unit?

The Amaran Halo 100x is very lightweight, weighing approximately 420g.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes, it can be used outdoors if powered by a compatible battery pack using USB-C PD or a portable DC power source.

What is the beam angle?

The light has a native beam angle of 85°.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Verify that the DC power adapter is securely connected to both the light and a working power outlet, or confirm the USB-C PD source is providing adequate power and is properly connected.

Inconsistent power output

If using USB-C PD, check that the power source is stable and capable of delivering the necessary wattage. Ensure the cable is of good quality. If using DC power, try a different outlet.

Controls are unresponsive

Power cycle the unit by disconnecting and reconnecting the power source. If the issue persists, contact support.

Overheating warning

Ensure the light's ventilation ports are not blocked. Move the light to a more open area and allow it to cool down. Avoid prolonged use at maximum output in very warm environments.

Cons

May lack sufficient power for very large shooting areas.
Built-in diffusion might not be enough for extremely soft light without additional modifiers.
