amaran Halo 100x Bi-Color LED Monolight

Designed for everyday creators operating in confined areas, the 100W Halo 100x Bi-Color LED Monolight from amaran provides enhanced output, versatile power options, and user-friendly control. This point-source COB fixture surpasses the brightness of the previous amaran 100x S while being approximately one-third of its size, delivering 4890 lux from a distance of 3.3' at its native and broader 85° beam angle. Similar to the Halo 60x, the 100x variant features a variable CCT ranging from 2700 to 6500K and boasts high color accuracy ratings, allowing for appealing warm and cool lighting effects. Adjust its settings effortlessly with instant, one-tap pairing to the amaran app through built-in NFC, and power the fixture using the provided AC to DC adapter via USB-C PD input. The Halo 100x maintains the same ultra-compact, space-efficient design as the 60x model while still featuring a reinforced full-size Bowens mount. Whether you require a dependable lighting solution for compact areas or home studios, the amaran Halo 100x will assist you in creating various looks by providing consistent bi-color output and natural lighting effects.

The Halo 100x serves as an effective lighting solution for content creators and videographers who require studio-quality illumination and enhanced output for compact areas. Lighting modifications can be performed directly on the device using an intuitive TFT screen equipped with a simplified color menu, or remotely from a distance of up to 262 feet through your smartphone utilizing the amaran app, which includes one-tap NFC functionality. Unlike its predecessor, the 100x S, the Halo 100x operates with an included AC to DC adapter, through USB-C PD input, or with the optional amaran Peak series.

Without Complexity

Experience 4890 lux at a distance of 3.3' with a color temperature of 4300K, along with a broader beam angle that ensures a more consistent and diffused light output, free from hotspots. The light's color temperature can be adjusted within a range of 2700 to 6500K, providing options for both tungsten and daylight, and allows for stepless brightness adjustments from 0% to 100%. The Halo 100x can be controlled directly on the fixture, through Bluetooth, or by using an optional DMX adapter. The onboard control has been streamlined with distinct knobs for brightness and color temperature, facilitating quick and straightforward operation.

Maximum Control

For wireless app control via built-in NFC, it is possible to connect the Halo 100x or several lights from the Halo series using the amaran app prior to powering it on. More experienced users may choose to utilize a separately sold USB-C to 5-pin DMX in and out adapter. This allows for wired DMX control, facilitating integration with industry-standard consoles and software for cues, multi-light configurations, and repeatable scenes.

Detailed Color Fidelity System

The remarkable ratings of CRI 96, TLCI 97, SSI 84 and 74, along with TM-30 94 and 102, provide you with a guarantee of exceptional accuracy in color reproduction at all times. The superior spectral quality of the Halo 100x will guarantee precise skin tone reproduction for your videos. These ratings indicate a cleaner transition from warm to cool white light, authentic skin tones, and highly precise colors that remain consistent both on camera and to the naked eye.

Your Choices

Embrace your creative instincts with the unit's nine lighting effects, which encompass paparazzi, fireworks, lightning, faulty bulb, TV, pulsing, strobe, explosion, and fire. The Halo 100x is not only creative and versatile but also maintains a cool temperature due to its active cooling system. Operating at a quiet level of 28 dBA (in smart mode), it is suitable for video production, offering options for silent, smart, and high fan modes. Even with its compact design, the optimized cooling ensures it remains quiet, making it ideal for sound-sensitive settings.

Wide Compatibility

The front of the unit features a reinforced full-size Bowens mount, which is compatible with an optional mini reflector, mini Fresnel, and a diverse range of Bowens mount modifiers. Additionally, amaran provides a 1/4"-20 to baby pin adapter that includes an integrated tilting bracket and an umbrella holder, ensuring excellent compatibility with optional umbrellas and stands. Similar to the Halo 60x, amaran has maintained the ultra-compact design of the 100x model, measuring 5.2 x 4.7 x 2.2", while also offering extensive compatibility due to its full Bowens mount versatility.

Travel-Ready Options

To achieve optimal flexibility, the Halo 100x is capable of operating with the separately sold amaran Peak series through USB-C PD. This functionality is made possible by utilizing the optional Ace E-lock adapter along with either the amaran Peak or the Peak 75 portable battery units. The optional amaran Peak allows for 40 minutes of operation at full capacity, whereas the Peak 75 offers 52 minutes of runtime, albeit limited to 60W.
