Bright daylight at a good price

super bright!! Great light if you need some powerful daylight. This is the ok lder model so doesn't have some of the bells and whistles of the new one but practically just as good.

These are great for my channel!

These lights are amazing! Had done great but very hot lights before and replaced them with the 300. Not hot at all. Love the remote control. The fan in the power supply can be heard but it doesn’t show up in production and cables are long enough to have it far away

The "Quan" of LED lights

The "Quaun" of LED lights, seriously. So compact yet so powerful and versatile. The Aputure LS C300D LED Light brings instant capture quality to my video interviews and makes a bold production statement. This light was highly recommended to me and I will highly recommend it forward.

You want to buy this light

Amazingly powerful light. First time I have owned a "hot light' as I am a photographer and have been using strobes for a long time. I love this light and want to add another but may have to wait till the next cyber sale.

Great build quality & very bright!

I needed to replace my 1000W tungsten light that literally blew out and caught fire. Some kind of short, who knows. Either way I was looking for an LED solution that could match to or at least come close to the level of brightness as my tungsten. I use this light 99% for video shoots (small hall, some speakers on stage doing their presentations, etc) nothing crazy just simple. Anyway this light is fantastic. its super bright, runs very quiet even with the 2 fans at full power. It's great that it comes with a carry case, has plenty of length of cable. I got it with Aputure's barn doors for better spread control and works great.

300d is good for the drop price

This continuous light is bright. I thought Aputure 300d would be twice as bright or more then Aputure 120d but 300d was not. 300d is only 30% brighter from my test. I wasn't going buy this for the original price till the price dropped. then I was sold. If the stat on Aputure 120d mark 2 is 30% brighter then Aputure 12d mark 1 then 120d mark 2 should be close to 300d and 120d is cheaper, consume less energy and come with extra feature. So get 120d mark 2 instead, imo. I still like my 300d for the price

Looks, feels and works professionally!

Lots of power and great quality of light. Love the build of the unit, but wish the remote and ballast where incorporated to cut down on things that hang on the light or near ground.

Great Light/Output

Great package, highly recommended. Light output is super bright and clean. Manufacturing on all parts is also top notch. The only complaint I have are the two large bricks required for power. Luckily, if you are using battery power, only one is required. But if you are plugging into a wall outlet, you have to use both, but there is plenty of cable. I wish they were consolidated into one unit. The carrying case is also really nice and everything fits flush, but there's not really much extra space for batteries or modifiers. Great light so far after a few uses.

The right choice.

Hard to decide whether to get this or the 120D. The 120D has more bells and whistles, but with a diffuser, you need the 300D hands down. At least I will and I'm not doing large shoots. Performs excellent. In love with this thing.

Best light I have bought so far. Can’t wait to get more.

This light was pretty amazing for us. We did a 10x10 film challenge with 3 days to shoot. Each day had multiple locations. The auto stand it came with in the kit was weird to get used to at first but in a while it was perfect since I was constantly changing positions with it. We used 2 V-Mount batteries the entire shoot which was between 7pm and 2am. It lasted the entire time as long as we turned it off in between. The Bowen’s mount makes swapping reflectors a breeze. The bag was spacious enough to hold the fresnel lens I bought for it by putting it inside the stock reflector and the space light stoarage bag fot as well. I plan to get an LS 120D and 120T as soon as I can. This is my primary light from now on. Love it!

Amazing light, for v2 can we get a simpler setup?

The light is extremely bright and is useful to me as someone who is asked constantly to shoot interviews that take place in someone's office, right next to a huge window. I also like the fresnel attachment. If you shoot every day and you need that intense spot (and you can afford it), I would still go HMI but this thing is going to work just fine for me 99% of the time and I think the price is worth it, especially when there get to be some used units on the market. I'll pick up another one when I can. That said, I don't quite get how they made their design decisions. There's a light controller that isn't attached (so you don't have to climb up to the light?) and all it really does is dim. There's no temperature adjustment (which is fine). Then further down the cable there's a power supply, which I guess is separate from the dimmer because . . . cheaper to make than a single unit? And there's also a point where you actually have to plug a cable into another cable, which I think is just nonsense. So it works great, but I need a couple extra minutes to mess with it and get all the ballast-like pieces secured and safe, etc. Would rather it was a little quicker, simpler, and safer.

About Aputure LS C300D

A COB for Light Storm
The Aputure LS C300d is the biggest and brightest light we've ever made. Winner of several awards (including Best Lighting Product at NAB), the LS C300d is a game changing COB light, boasting extremely powerful output, an advanced cooling system, portable build and a TLCI rating of over 96.

• Over 31000 lm, 142000lux at 0.5m (With Fresnel Mount)
• TLCI>=96, High Color Rendition
• Industrial Standard Mount
• Ultra Silent Fan, Noise Low at 18db
• Dual Power System
• Unique Light-Control Separation Design

Illuminance
The LS C300d is the brightest LED light in the Light Storm series. Boasting an impressive 48000 lux at 0.5m with its included reflector, it can also reach an incredible 142000 lux at 0.5m with our fresnel mount (with camera settings set to f/36, 1/200 shutter and ISO 800). The LS C300d makes lighting nearly all scenes possible.

Color Fidelity
Shining bright at 5500K, the LS C300d casts a powerful light that is both natural looking and pristine in color. The LS C300d features not only a CRI rating of 95+, but a TLCI rating of 96+, allowing for extremely precise color accuracy making it perfect for broadcast video, photography, television production and studio filmmaking.

Portable and Lightweight
LS C300d maintains its incredibly high output and color fidelity without any compromise to weight. Though its output is comparable to that of a 2000W tungsten lamp, the LS C300d weighs less than a quarter of that. Easily held with one hand, the LS C300d weighs just 2.1kg (4.6 lbs) while a 2000W tungsten lamp weighs over 9kg (nearly 20 lbs). The LS C300d also simplifies the once-complicated and heavy process of using light shaping accessories, making it possible to modify your light using just one hand.

Professional Mount
The LS C300d utilizes the universal mount design, allowing for a wide variety of available accessories, including but certainly not limited to Fresnel, Light Dome and Space Light.

All-in-One Canvas Bag
The LS C300d comes shipped in an efficient and portable canvas bag. The canvas bag not only protects the light, but also keeps all of its pieces organized in a single bag, perfect for the mobile and on-the-go shooter.

Intelligent Temperature Control
The LS C300d has a remarkably intelligent temperature control system. Our smart fans come with advanced internal thermometers and vary their speeds based on the system's temperature. Even at maximum speed, these fans are impressively quiet and keep the light from getting too hot, eliminating the need for grip gloves.

Durable Build
Featuring an aircraft-grade aluminum body, the LS C300d is remarkably tough and durable. It is engineered with 100 fabrication procedures including extrusion, cutting, trimming, sandblasting, oxidation, laser engraving and more. This comprehensive and elaborate production process makes the LS C300d sleek in design, yet robust in build.

Independent Lighting Controls
The LS C300d is built to give you maximum control over your light. The light's easy-to-use and intuitive control box allows you to change things like brightness, remote channels and fan speeds. With a control box that is separated from the light's power ballast, top weight is greatly reduced, allowing for maximum portability.

• Safe and Portable
• Separated Light Control Operation
• Move freely

150m Wireless Remote Control
Using 2.4G FSK technology, the LS C300d can be adjusted in brightness wirelessly using a remote up to 150m away.

• Radio Frequency
• Blind Coverage
• Brightness Adjustment
• Wireless Remote Control

Dual Power Solutions
The LS C300d can be powered either via AC or for location shoots you can mount 2 V-Mount, eliminating the need for a costly generator (Recommend >=190wh battery for better performance).

• Powered by the Adapter
• Powered by 2pcs Batteries

Note

To ensure optimal performance, please use the output current 12A, capacity more than 190WH of the battery.
