The excessive output LED LS 600d line is rising barely bigger with the brand new bi-color 600x being introduced by lighting producer Aputure as we speak.

The producer has additionally introduced a brand new Softbox referred to as the Mild Dome 150 alongside some fascinating pricing information that cuts in opposition to the pattern nowadays.

The battle between HMI expertise and excessive output LED fixtures continues with the addition of the bi-color LS 600x fixture overlaying a kelvin vary between 2700K and 5600K (the LS 300x tops out at 6500K).

The price of the LS 600x is slated to be $1990.00.
For comparability, Aputure charges the 300x at 3 meters at 5500K touchdown round 1,700 lux with the hyper reflector attachment. That’s an enormous bounce for the 600x to five,610+ lux, however we’ll hopefully be capable of do our personal testing down the highway. The 600x additionally solely attracts 720W on the high finish and might be powered by V-Mount, Gold Mount or Block Batteries with its 48V 3-Pin XLR enter.
A number of different key options of the LS 600x that fall in keeping with the LS 600d Pro and different LS 300d/x fixtures:

After all you gained’t get the extent of output you’d get from the LS 600d Pro with the 600x, however what you’re little doubt gaining right here is flexibility with a spread of kelvin choices and a good output besides.
Mild Dome 150:
To begin, the Mild Dome 150 is huge: 4.9 ft in width with a 31.5 inch depth. This makes the Mild Dome 150 the biggest bowens mounted round softbox I’ve seen from Aputure, however falls shut in measurement to the $199.00 Nanlite Para 150 softbox (the Para 150 doesn’t embody the grid accent in that value). The Mild Dome 150 ships with two varieties of entrance diffusion (a 1.5 Cease and a pair of.5 Cease model) and its $269 price ticket additionally consists of the grid.
