amaran COB 60x S
A 60W bi-color Bowens COB with app control, the 60x S is a compact key for talking-head and desk setups that still accepts full-size modifiers. As a beginner-tier light, it's a good first key for creators who want adjustable color temperature in a small fixture. The 60W class won't cover large spaces or overpower daylight.
