Back in 2015, I purchased and reviewed the Aputure Amaran HR672S LED panels. I got a lot of use from them for a few years. They are thin and run on NP-F batteries. Great for fill, and at night with some diffusion, they looked great. I was surprised that they worked so well.
Today amaran has two new panel fixtures. The P60c is RGBWW and the P60x is bi-color. Both kits include a fixture, softbox with grid, mounting hardware, and soft carrying case.
They are available in single and three-light kits.
Unlike conventional LED panels, the new fixtures use a mounting pin and light stand adapter. Since the fixtures are low power consumption, they can be powered with NP-F batteries or AC. With batteries attached when using AC power, the fixture will charge the batteries.
