Aputure LS 300X

Aputure LS 300x is a bi-color point-source LED fixture designed for film, commercial, interview and studio production. It combines a 2700K–6500K CCT range with the familiar Bowens mount, allowing crews to move quickly between warm tungsten-style light and cooler daylight without changing gels. Aputure also designed the 300x to work with lensed optical modifiers such as the Fresnel 2X and Spotlight Mount, giving the fixture more flexibility than a conventional bi-color soft source.

Strong output with the Hyper-Reflector

With the included Hyper-Reflector, Aputure specifies 20,500 lux at 1 metre and 1,700 lux at 3 metres at 5500K. At 4300K, where the fixture reaches its strongest output range, it delivers 24,300 lux at 1 metre and 2,100 lux at 3 metres with the same reflector. For setups that require a narrower and more concentrated beam, the optional Fresnel 2X can increase output to approximately 56,000 lux at 1 metre in spot position at 4300K.

2700K–6500K bi-color range with reliable colour accuracy

The LS 300x covers a broad 2700K–6500K colour-temperature range and is rated at CRI 96+, TLCI 96+ and CQS 95+. Aputure also specifies SSI values of 85 for tungsten and 74 for daylight. The fixture offers two output modes: Constant Output is designed to keep luminance more consistent while changing CCT, while Max Output prioritises the highest available brightness at the selected colour temperature. Five common CCT presets provide quick access to 2700K, 3200K, 4300K, 5500K and 6500K.

Battery operation, Sidus Link and professional control

The control box can operate from AC power or compatible cinema batteries. A single suitable battery can run the fixture at up to approximately half output, while two batteries can provide full output when they meet Aputure’s recommended continuous-discharge requirements. Wireless control is available through the Sidus Link app over Bluetooth Mesh as well as the 2.4GHz remote system. For larger lighting setups, the fixture also supports 5-pin DMX512 control. This makes the 300x easy to integrate into both small interview setups and more complex studio lighting systems.

Built-in lighting effects and flexible modifier options

Nine built-in lighting effects are available: Paparazzi, Strobe, Lightning, Faulty Bulb, TV, Pulsing, Fireworks, Explosion and Fire. The Bowens mount provides access to a wide range of softboxes, lanterns, reflectors and projection accessories, while compatibility with the Fresnel 2X and Spotlight Mount makes it possible to shape the beam more precisely when a harder or more controlled source is required.
