Review: The Aputure Amaran AL-MW LED light

Aputure Amaran AL-MW$209 | aputure.com The Aputure Amaran AL-MW is a small, single-color, continuous LED light that runs on battery power and can be set to 10 selectable output levels.

Usually if you need these effects on a shoot you have to employ some additional equipment, or someone waving a flag or reflector in front of the light. On top of that, the light is submersible to 10m (30 ft.), opening the door to some creative uses. The light`s 110-element C.O.B (chip on board) structure is semi-random, avoiding the multiple shadows seen with some LED lights.
