Top Rated Gear: Aputure Light Storm LS C120d II Daylight LED 3-Light Kit, Controller Box with V-Mount Plate Battery Connection: V Mount, Kit Style: 3 Light Kit, Power Source: AC/DC

The Aputure LS C120D II is a complete re-design of the original C120D. We've taken all of your favorite features of the C120D and have jam packed it with upgrades, improvements and new features.25% Brighter The C120D II boasts an incredible luminance of 135,000 lux at 0.5 meters away with the Aputure Fresnel (optional). With an approximate brightness equivalent to a 1,000-watt tungsten light, the C120D II is nearly 25% brighter than the 1st generation C120D, making it competitive with some of the highest-grade studio lights on the market.Impeccable Color FidelityQuantity of light is important, but quality is even more important. The C120D II has gone through intense color quality testing, using not only CRI ratings, but the industry standard Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI). In both tests, the C120D II scores CRI over 96 and TLCI over 97, guaranteeing you are receiving the highest color quality possible.DMX512 CapabilityDMX is the worldwide industry standard for film & television studios, theatre, broadcast and all forms of digital networking systems. The C120D II comes with DMX capability, allowing studio creatives to maximize their range of uses for their lighting arsenal.Build Quality UpgradesThe original C120D was revolutionary for its compact size and high build quality. The C120D II now takes this a step further with a new round of upgrades.Combined Controller-Power UnitThe most notable of these upgrades is its power unit - the C120D II is now powered by a single, all-in-one power box. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum but maintaining its lightweight build, a single power unit means less cabling and power components so filmmakers spend less time setting up their light and more time being creative.Neutrik Cable LocksColor coded Neutrik cable systems allow for more flexibility in where your light can be placed and advanced locking systems ensure maximum safety, no matter your set's challenges and environment.Handbrake Locking YokeA re-designed yoke construction accommodates an expanded range of motion with over 330 degrees, letting you angle and point your light anywhere needed. An improved user-friendly handgrip design also allows for highly intuitive controls.Featherweight DesignWhile the C120D II boasts an impressive studio grade build quality, it still weighs in at just over 2.2kg (4.85 lbs) allowing filmmakers to easily take this light anywhere without having to worry about the transportation issues that frequently come with larger tungsten fixtures.The Brightest or the DimmestThe C120D II has taken the precision controls of the C120D and expands upon them even further, allowing for dimming seamlessly from 100% all the down to 1%, meaning the C120D II is capable of being both the brightest and dimmest light on your set.5500K While the original C120D came in at 6000K, the C120D II has a perfect 5500K daylight, allowing it to perfectly blend with other daylight-balanced lights in the Aputure ecosystem.Everything You Love About the Original C120D and MoreWhile all of these incredible upgrades are worthy of note, the C120D II still has many of the same features as the 1st Generation C120D, including the universal Bowens mount, ultra-silent temperature control system, wireless remote and the same crowd-favorite carrying bag.

I love this light - I use it with Aputure Light Dome II and it just the light I have wanted for years.  Great for the photographer that is switching back and forth from stills to motion. So easy to set up, it will be the one light I?ll take everywhere no matter what the job. Love it!

Love it!

Powerful true kelvin light. Very effective and versatile light.

Great workhouse.

Very bright. Easy to set up and get going.

Great light

Love these lights. The quality and control of the light is exactly what I was looking for. I got the two light kit and there is so much versatility when it comes to these lights. the air cushioned light stands that come in the kit are pretty decent! rolling case is incredible. remote control makes it simple to adjust levels on the fly. fans are way quieter than I expected. Don't get quite as bright as I expected.. but works for most of my needs. It allows me to drop my iso down significantly so its not really a problem. I guess if I actually find myself needing anything brighter, id get the 300d. only complaint is the bard doors don't really cut the light that well.

Should have gotten these ages ago.

Solid made product, relatively small, app works well. I pair it with the 300dII and am happy with the results I?m getting. The case it comes in is good for a free case. I wouldn?t trust it to last super long. Zippers will likely where out if stressed. Defiantly not the quality of the light itself, which looks and feels like it?s made to last.

Solid Product

Love them amazing lights and very fast shipping

Amazing lights

Over a year and a half later, these things have become indispensable to my production work. Adding the fresnel and this light becomes twice as bright as a 1k Tungsten! My favorite lights by far; I bring them everywhere and everywhere. The Bowens mount is so conveniant. Spec claims it can't handle a 90wH battery over 80%, but even that works great with some Anton Bauers. I've since swapped one of the V Plates out for a Gold, and I am pleased to report they are completely interchangeable with no additional hardware needed (except of course some wire cutters).

Essential to Any Production

If you do any work with products I cannot recommend this light enough. It's so simple to use and it's one of the best lights I've worked with!

Best light for product photos and videos!

Great Light

Great Light Kit!

excellent service, arrived very fast.  Very professional seller Many

excellent product.  its quality very good

I love Aputure products. They offer excellent and professional lighting at an extremely reasonable price for the quality that you receive. I've had my eye on the 2-light kit for some time but found they were out of stock all over. Since I signed up for the stock alert from Adorama, they notified me as soon as they were in stock and I purchased right away. The kit comes with everything you need: 2 – LS C120ii, stands, controllers, remotes, cables & cords, etc.; you get two sets of barn doors, gel holders and so much more. I highly recommend this for photographers and filmmakers alike.

Excellent Product

No complaints so far. Very solid product. And the package with case, stands and barn doors inside makes it that much easier to store and move around.

Great product

I use this light on literally EVERYTHING from personal videos to every paid gig I have. The build quality, lighting quality, and production value these lights provide is well worth it. I almost ALWAYS use with the Aputure Light Dome II, and is a must if you own this light. It is SO flattering to the subjects and it is incredibly versatile. This brand keeps rocking affordable yet top-notch products. I will definitely be purchasing the Aputure MC 4 Pack and the 300D II in the near future!

MUST HAVE Key Light!

Awesome light kit. Comes with just about everything you need to get started right away

Awesome light kit

I love this light and everything about it!

Firstly Adorama had these shipped out to me in super quick time over here in Qatar. Everything was very well packaged. The lights are built exceptionally well and have a good output. The way Aputure include the case and it's inssefs are top quality indeed and will mean the lights stay in good condition for a long time to come. Unfortunately 2 of my Vmount batteries just dont seem to work well on the 120dII. They literally last 2mins and then switch off even though they have plenty of remaining charge. It's almost as though the light cuts it self off. Mains power is the way I'm powering right now but I need to find a solution to the vmount issue.

Excellent service from Adorama and Pro quality lights

Honestly I haven’t even used it but I know it’s a 5 Star in the box

???????

Solid light. So much better than the mark I

Plenty of light

Good Lights!

This light is so versatile, lightweight, and optimal! We love the light and will be a staple in our productions.

Love!

Perfect light kit with everything you need to get up and running. Each light comes with a remote, but a single remote can control multiple lights assigned to groups. Excellent build quality as you’d expect and the storage / transportation case is solid. Overall, the kit is well worth the money.

Excellent kit, worth every penny.

SUCH a color upgrade from the cheap lights we've been using for years, simple setup, grateful!

Apurture Light Storm II

I really love this light. Quite versatile and the additional features are great. What I dont love is that it's advertised as 'Bowens Compatible' but in fact, its deeper than the collar on most if not all 'Glow' brand softboxes. What is interesting is that the long throw reflector and the 7" reflector do have this additional length to the collar and fit fine. I am unsure as to who exactly is out of spec here, but there is clearly a disconnect in what a 'Bowens Mount' specifies for depth of the connecting collar.

Great light with a caveat

This item is very good. Hi quality and  performance .

Is a good item high quality.

So far so good really easy set up beautiful color on skin tones. Wish my light dome would come in tho.

Great light for the price

Bought the 120d and the 300d thinking they would work with my existing Glow softboxes. There is design flaw on these lights that does let the Bowen’s adapters fully sear, so you can’t turn them to lock them. Had to order the Aputure lite dome which are double the cost of the Glows. I gave these lights two stars because of the lack of precision fit with my existing Bowen’s accessories. I will add the the quality of light from these is great.

Doesn’t fit all Bowen’s mount

Great light... I love it and definitely recommend it. I plan on getting a few more.
