Good light but?

The light itself seems fine. But the USB-C socket only charged with the A-to-C cable that came with it. My MBP charging cable didn?t work, or 2 others I tried. So I returned it?

Amazing portable light!

A great portable key light for video and photos. Easily attach to top of camera. Definitely need to defuse the light because it can be very very bright.

Aputure Amaran AL-MX Bi-Color LED Mini Light "very pleased with this product"

The Aputure Amaran AL-MX Bi-Color LED Mini Light is such a powerful tool! The battery life sustains an entire day of shooting and it's compact size can easily fit into an tight space. It's built very well, really heavy duty and will not break apart, I've dropped it several times already within the last week...Placed my order on Adorama and it shipped to me within two days. It's a great purchase and a great product.

Don't need anything else for my Youtube videos

I love to play around with photography and videography. I have been trying to get into shooting and editing videos but the space I use has horrible light. I didn't have the money to buy a 120d or any high quality lighting. That is until this came on to the market. IT IS PERFECT. The output is amazing and color is spot on. As a person doing simple talking head videos you can't ask for much more. One thing to note is the quality is the best I have seen. This thing is a tank. I plan to pick up another one in a few weeks.

Solid accent light for locations

Good light. Its bright and very useful to stick in tight quarters. I like using it inside under counters to give a little pop of light. It's heavier than the M9 though so it's a bit harder for tape to stick if you're taping it

My Best choice this year!

The light is durable, compact and filled with great balance. It is a great replacement for large bulky battery operated led lights. Boost power is an essential part of video when needed. Great Job with this light. photographically. Ivan C

A small light capable of great things

The light it is tiny but it is great. Again this is not a light for illuminating a complete scene (it can be done if that it is the situation) but for the dose it it’s powerful! One thing I would like to get improved it is the battery life, is not bad but is not the longest one. This is one light that alway stay inside my bag for the needed situation.

Perfect. Works exactly as advertised.

Great. Solidly built strong portable led. Only con is it’s hard to adjust settings while light is on because you can’t see what you’re doing and cab only feel or go from memory

Aputure AL-MX.

Filmmakers loved the original AL-M9, so Aputure has taken it’s winning design and made it even brighter and more versatile – in the AL-MX. Designed with a metal build and SMD LED bulbs, the AL-MX is the most durable, powerful,bicolor LED light that can easily fit into your pocket.

Aputure AL-MX.

The Brightest Ever.

The AL-MX is more powerful than any other light of its size. It packs 128 SMD LED bulbs into a credit card-sized panel. With both CRI & TLCI ratings over 95, and a wide 120° beam angle that outputs 3200 lux at 0.3m, the possibilities for this light are endless.

The Brightest Ever.

Expanded Color Temperature.

The AL-MX features a 5-step adjustable color temperature ranging from 2800-6500K. While most bicolor lighting fixtures range from 3200-5600K, this expanded range provides you with even more options for creative applications.

Expanded Color Temperature.

Portable Design.

The AL-MX inherits the M9’s legacy. Though a bit thicker in build,it has the same “credit card sized” design and weighs just 278g. In addition, with a built-in lithium rechargeable battery and USB Type-C charging port, the MX lasts an average of 1 hour at full power and 4 hours at minimum power.

Portable Design.

Constant Light Output.

AL-MX has a new form of technology that increases its reliability While many lights dim as battery life decreases, the output of the AL-MX remains the same no matter the remaining battery life, environment , temperature or any other factors.

Constant Light Output.
