    Hi Vince, Amaran should hit stores in a week or so after shipments have arrived. Ask your local dealer, and keep your eyes open on eBay/Amazon. Also, stay tuned to this blog, we’ll surely post updates here as the product gets out and about.

    Falmor, you can use the following: NP-F550, NP-FM55H, NP-FH60

    What is the Maximum Power: less then 13 Watt – can you be more specific – Sellers adwertise it less then 13 – but could be anywere 1 watt to 13 Watt – many buyers need more pricise specification.

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog avalon

    I purchase 1 on Ebay – I need more but confuse with info about power output — Need info about Maximum power output with fully charge battery, batteries

    I’m missing one VERY important information: lumen! Could you please tell us how much this lamp is able to produce?
    Thank you in advance!

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Hi Nobody, check the specifications on our product page: http://www.aputure.com/en/product/amaran_led_video_light.php

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog nobody

    Thank you, but the specifications don’t tell how much lumen this lamp has. It is of utmost importance for me, if I want to buy a lamp, to know how much light it produces. Given that it has 18W full power I would expect at least 960 lumen, but nowadays, there are also quite a few (but usually more expensive) LEDs with more than 100 lm/w, so it could also be also around 2000 lumen (although I don’t expect it to be that bright). I would be grateful if you could add that important piece of information to your specifications.

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Ni Nobody, I don’t have these specifications right now, but I will ask the engineers. As for total level of brightness, you may want to watch this video that we recently produced, comparing Amaran to other LED lights: http://www.aputure.com/blog/2011/09/21/amaran-led-matrix-lighting-video/

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    HI Nobody, I’ve got the info you requested: Lumen for AL-126, AL-160 and AL-198 is 673 lux, 1245 lux, 1325 lux, respectively. Cheers…

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog gadencourt

    Hi

    I just received a AL 160 and I cannot fix on it my Sony batteries NP-F960. What’s wrong ? It’s the same family of NP-F550 so it should work.

    regards

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Hi Gadencourt. We have not tested this specific battery, but I will ask the engineers and get back to you.

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog gadencourt

    Hi

    It should work as it is the same form factor family you described as compatible (Sony serie L form factor) the only difference is the power capacity of this battery. Otherwise it’s the same. So it seems that your ad is not realistic.

    I’ll wait for your answer from your engineers.

    regards

    Hi Aputure,

    I also want to know Nobody’s question: How many lumens does it have?
    You’ve mixed um lumens with lux. The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI derived unit of illuminance or illumination. It is equal to one lumen per square metre, and depends on how distant the light is to the subject.

    Lumens measure “luminous flux”. This is a measure of the total number of packets of light produced by a light source. This is the “quantity” of light emitted by the light source.

    So, once again, how many lumens does it have?

    I recently bought the Amaran AL 198 for use in my macro photography, and I am really satisfied. Now I finally can backlight my bugs in easy way with complete control when it comes to brightness. I also think it is a an easier way of giving my subject an correct fill in light compare to when I am using flashes, especially when it is used together with its diffusing filter. I am going to by two more lamps. Thanks for developing such good product.

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Hello Ole, glad to hear that you are happy with the product! If you are on Flickr, please share some of your photos in our group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/aputure/) so that we can see what you’re up to. I’d love to see your shots!

    ola tengo una led al 126 q tipo de bateria funciona esta luz?

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Sorry Andres but I don’t understand (even with Google Translate!), could you ask in English?

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog Miguel

    He’s saying he has a 128 led light, and he’s asking what kind of battery does it use…

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Hi Miguel and Andres, Amaran uses lithium batteries NP-F550, NP-FM55H, NP-FH60, etc

    Amir

    And what about the battery Sony NP-FM500H – is it equivalent for use with Amaran LED Light?

    Because I have Sony A57 and have 2 batteries, Can I use one with Amaran?

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Yes Drotik, this one works with Amaran, but it may be loose and drop to the floor, so you’d have to secure it with tape or something similar.

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Hello Amir, we don’t think this LED would be strong enough for your application, but a new, upcoming LED of ours (with more bulbs) should be strong enough, especially when stacked together. Stay tuned!

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog Andreas N

    will a Sony NP-FV50 battery work as well?

  • http://www.montaz.gr montaz.gr

    Where i can find them in Greece?
    is there a local distributor?

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog Andreas N

    answering my own question: yes, it’s possible to use an NP-FV50 with this LED light. Yesterday, I’ve received my light and was able to use it with the Sony battery I already had. It’s a snug fit and a bit hard to get in and out but I suspect this would also be true for the other battery types. And I rather have it secured in place instead of a too loose fit.

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    Hello Montaz, yes we have a dealer in Greece. Please check your email for info.

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog Triple A Entertainment

    Hello A-Team,
    I just bought the al-126, and I asked if AA rechargeable batteries can be able to power the lights, and according to the sales person, he advised me to buy them. However, the lights are not as powerful as expected, as I can only get my subjects when i get so close to them. Also, the batteries could not even power the lights for 1h30 before it diminished.
    Please I work most times indoors with near absolute darkness, what do you advice me to do as i made arrangements with the retailer for a return if the product does not give me the required lightning solution.
    Urgency Please

  • http://www.aputure.com/blog The A-Team

    They are not really substitutes for proper studio lights, but work well on-camera at short distances. Perhaps you could try one of our larger lights such as AL-198, or buying multiple lights and stacking them together. You can stack up to 4 together safely. We also have a new one coming out soon that is dual-powered and definitely stronger. Stay tuned…
