The Aputure Amaran AL-528S is a powerful daylight-balanced LED spotlight with 4380 lux brightness at 1m from the light panel. With several great features, like a stepless dimmer, a high colour accuracy rating, and dual power options all in a compact design, it’s an ideal starting point for photographers looking for versatile off camera lighting options. 

Continuous Bright LED Lighting

The Amaran AL-528S uses 528 LEDs to product a powerful light source measuring 4380 lux at 1m from the panel. The 25° light spread offers great illumination for your subjects, helping you emphasise parts of larger compositions for a well-lit overall image. 

Natural Colour Reproduction 

The AL-528S is daylight balanced with 5500K colour temperature. With a high CRI rating of 95+, the LEDs provide accurate colour reproduction which is crucial for capturing natural, true-to-life tones when shooting portraits and product photography. 

Precise Dimming Control

A frictionless rotating dimmer dial on the back of the panel allows you to smoothly adjust the brightness anywhere from 1 to 100% of its maximum output. An LCD screen next to the dial clearly displays the percentage making it easy to check and repeat the same settings in future. 

Colour Temperature and Diffuser Filters

The AL-528S comes with a diffuser filter to help soften and spread the light more evenly over a wider area. Also included is a tungsten filter that changes the colour temperature to 3200K. Both filters are easy to install, slotting into place on the front of the light panel’s frame.  

Dual Power Options

With two ways to power the AL-528S, the panel is extremely versatile. Use 2 rechargeable Sony F/FM/QM style batteries or plug in directly to mains power. A charge level indicator warns you when the batteries are low but, if used with AC power, the panel can conveniently recharge the batteries.

Lightweight Design with Mount Adapter

At only 3.2cm thick, the Amaran AL-528S has a slim, lightweight design, about the size of an original iPad. It comes with a light stand mount adapter that can be tilted to adjust the light’s angle so you can focus or highlight your subject as needed. 

Included Carrying Case

Rounding out the Aputure Amaran AL-528S is a sturdy, weather resistant carrying case built for protection as well as portability. It fits the light panel and all of its accessories and has a conveniently detachable shoulder strap for multiple carry options.
