Amaran Halo 60x — Best for Portability

The Halo 60x is the entry point of the series and the most portable option. At just 56W with USB-C PD 3.0 power, it can run off a power bank — making it the go-to choice for run-and-gun creators, travel content creators, and anyone who needs a professional light that fits in a camera bag.

Best for: Solo content creators, travel vloggers, on-location interviews, small studio setups

Key advantage: USB-C powered — works with any power bank or GaN charger

Amaran Halo 100x — Best Balance of Power and Portability

The Halo 100x steps up to 84W with dual power options — USB-C PD 3.0 and DC (12–24V). This gives you more flexibility: power from a V-Mount battery, a DC source, or a USB-C charger. With 8,722 lumens and 4,890 lux @ 1m, it’s noticeably brighter than the 60x while remaining compact and portable.

Best for: Photographers, videographers, small production teams, hybrid shooters

Key advantage: Dual power (USB-C + DC) for maximum flexibility on location

Amaran Halo 200x — Best for Mid-Level Productions

The Halo 200x is where the series transitions to AC power, delivering 179W and 18,100 lumens. This is a significant jump in output — more than double the Halo 100x — making it ideal for larger interview setups, product photography, and small film productions.

Best for: Commercial photographers, small film crews, studio setups, product shoots

Key advantage: Big output jump from the 100x at a mid-range price point

Amaran Halo 300x — Best for Professional Productions

The Halo 300x delivers 276W and 29,954 lumens — nearly 65% more output than the 200x. At 16,200 lux @ 1m, it has serious throw for larger sets, outdoor fill light, or as a key light for larger spaces.

Best for: Professional cinematographers, commercial productions, larger studio setups, outdoor fill lighting

Key advantage: Professional-grade output with full DMX and App control

Amaran Halo 600x — The Flagship

The Halo 600x is the undisputed flagship of the series. With 545W of output, 62,000 lumens, and 32,500 lux @ 1m, it delivers more than double the output of the 300x. This is a light built for demanding film sets, broadcast studios, and large commercial productions where maximum output and precision are non-negotiable.

Best for: Film productions, broadcast studios, large commercial shoots, high-end content creation

Key advantage: Flagship output — 62,000 lumens with broadcast-quality CRI 96+ / TLCI 97+

Which Amaran Halo Should You Buy?

• On a budget / need portability? → Halo 60x — USB-C powered, works anywhere
• Want more power but still portable? → Halo 100x — USB-C + DC, best of both worlds
• Studio-based mid-level production? → Halo 200x — big output jump, AC powered
• Professional cinematographer? → Halo 300x — serious output for serious productions
• Film set / broadcast studio? → Halo 600x — the flagship, no compromises

All five models share the same outstanding color accuracy (CRI 96+, TLCI 97+), the same 2,700K–6,500K bi-color range, and the same professional control ecosystem — amaran App, on-board controls, and DMX via USB-C. The choice really comes down to how much output you need and where you’ll be shooting.
