Strand 400F Fresnel MO Daylight

The LS 600D Pro Light Storm Daylight Point Light Source from Aputure is a powerful COB LED fixture with expansive power and control options and output comparable to a 1200W HMI. The precision fixture has a solid 5600K colour temperature with a high CRI/TLCI rating of 95, that’s great for location shooting outdoors, or in areas dominated by other daylight-balanced fixtures such as HMIs. Besides power, control is a driving force in the design of the 600D.The light also has a myriad of wireless control methods, including Aputure’s 2.4GHz remote, the Sidus Link mobile app, and the built-in wireless DMX control. While you can make adjustments locally on the fixture, you can also make them wirelessly from 0 to 100% at a distance via any of these methods – a real attribute for lights mounted overhead or in hard to reach places.

At just 5.7 x 3.5 x 3.5″ the compact ML60 LED Light has a host of advanced features “under the hood.” The light sports a 5600K colour temperature – ideal for shooting outdoors, in a large place dominated by windows, or to seamlessly blend with other daylight-balanced fixtures. A high CRI rating of CRI/TLCI: 96/97 is ample evidence of advanced capability in rendering colour. The ML60 dims from 0 to 100% and it has a 32-channel, 16-group receiver that allows you to adjust the light’s dimming level and on/off functions. You can manage these locally on the fixture or wirelessly at a distance with a separately-purchased controller. The light even has eight lighting effects including lightning, flash, conference, paparazzi, TV, and broken bulb.

Made with run-and-gun shooting in mind the ML60 has a removable handle as well as an umbrella socket. Ready for worldwide use, the ML60 runs on 100 to 240V, thanks to the included AC adapter, but it will also run on two NP-F970 batteries when AC power is unavailable. Godox has included a carrying case for storage and transport.

The FS-200 LED from NanLite is a monolight style light fixture with remarkable light output relative to its size.

The Nanlite FS-200 LED light uses the industry-standard Bowens light modifiers, making it easy to soften or focus the light, to provide a wide range of lighting effects. The ability to shape the light makes the FS-200 ideal for portraiture, product photography, and in-house video production.

How bright are they?

In our tests using a pair of FS-200’s in the Nanlite 60 x 90cm softbox, we were able to shoot a single person portrait with the following camera settings F8, 1/125s, ISO 1000. For a group portrait, where the lights further from the subjects, we were able to shoot a group of 4 standing side-by-side with the following camera settings F8, 1/125s, ISO 1250.
