amaran 300c

The 300c brings real output to full-color work: 300W RGBWW through any Bowens modifier, with app control, landing solidly in the enthusiast tier. It suits creators who want both punch and color flexibility for a studio key. It's not a run-and-gun fixture, though, since it's a mains-class light running off a DC 48V brick rather than batteries.
