The amaran COB 60x S Bi-Color LED Monolight is a compact, 65W professional video light engineered for content creators, videographers, and live streamers who demand cinema-grade color accuracy in a portable form. With a variable 2700–6500K color temperature, an exceptional CRI of 96 and TLCI of 97, and an upgraded LED chipset delivering an SSI (Tungsten) of 90, the 60x S reproduces skin tones and scene colors with stunning fidelity straight out of the box.
Despite its camera-sized body weighing just 1.53 lb, the amaran 60x S punches well above its weight class — outputting a remarkable 33,300 lux at 3.3 ft when paired with the included mini hyper reflector. A full-size Bowens S mount, dual NP-F battery plate, D-Tap compatibility, and wireless control via the Sidus Link app make this monolight an incredibly versatile lighting solution for studio and on-location use alike.
