The on or off-camera Amaran AL-528S Daylight LED Spot Light from Aputure is a daylight-balanced (5500K) LED light that delivers precise color accuracy thanks to its high CRI 95+ rated LEDs. The light produces a spot 25° beam angle with a brightness of 4,380 lux at a distance of 3.3′ and features a stepless rear dimming dial for adjusting light output from 0 to 100%. The AL-528S can be powered by the included AC adapter or optional Sony F/FM/QM-type batteries using the dual rear battery slots. Four LED indicator lights on the back of the unit display the remaining battery life.

The 9.37 x 7.48 panel is only 1.26″ thick and generates little heat, allowing it to squeeze into places where other lights, especially incandescents, just can’t go. The AL-528S ships with a multi-voltage AC adapter, 5/8″ tilting mount for stand mounting, a 5/8″ spigot with 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads, an orange 5500 – 3200K conversion filter, a diffusion filter to soften the light’s output, and a carry case with shoulder strap.

The AL-528S has 528 LEDs packed into a compact design that is the same size as the original iPad. It’s an LED light that doesn’t sacrifice power for portability

High Color-Rendering LEDs

With Amaran’s advanced LEDs featuring a color-rendering index of 95+, the AL-528S casts a more radiant, natural light

Color Temperature and Diffusion

The AL-528S comes with two filters: a tungsten filter to change the color temperature from 5500 to 3200K, and a white diffusing filter to soften the light’s output

Frictionless Brightness Control

Freely rotate the brightness wheel to adjust the AL-528S intensity. An adjacent LCD screen displays the power of your light by percentage for repeatability and consistency
