amaran 150c

A 150W full-color RGBWW COB on a Bowens mount, the 150c opens up gels and color effects without physical filters and lands as a capable enthusiast-tier fixture. It's a strong choice for creators who want color-mixing flexibility through standard modifiers and app control. If you mainly need maximum daylight punch per watt, a daylight-only 200d-class fixture will be brighter.
