amaran quality, made accessible for more creators.

Whether you’re investing in your first light or building a multi-light studio, the amaran Halo 300x focuses on what matters most for creators: powerful, consistent bi-color output for natural results and an all-metal build made to last – delivering reliable amaran quality you can count on for everyday shoots, without adding complexity to your workflow.

in-one monolight design with its power supply integrated directly into the light – so you can start creating faster with a single AC cable and no external power brick. With fewer components to manage, your setup stays cleaner and easier to scale.

Simple controls for faster shoots.

With separate brightness and color temperature knobs and a clear, simplified interface,
the amaran Halo 300x keeps adjustments fast and intuitive with virtually no learning curve. For wireless control, pair your amaran Halo 300x or multiple lights in the Halo family in the amaran app with just a tap via built-in NFC – even before turning it on.

control via USB-C so your lighting can stay in the same wired workflow across the amaran Halo lineup. Integrate with industry-standard consoles and software using the optional USB-C to 5-Pin DMX In & Out Adapter1 for cues, multi-light looks, and repeatable scenes.

Scarlett ★★★★★

I’ve been using this light for a few weeks now and the 305W output is seriously impressive for a compact unit. The fan is whisper-quiet even at full power, which is a huge plus for recording dialogue.

James P. ★★★★★
