    Perfect review as usual Gerald! Thank you! I've been guilty in the past of having to rig cables with crimps to the bricks, only for the damned AC plugs to loosen over time and lose purchase to the light on a production. Fun times. I've had to scrimp on any number of project budgets, i.e once purchased some extra Neewer lights. Those particular panel lights did save me a few times (once when a skypanel pulled a Denis Leary smoking session on us...) ...at least at first (until the AC plug wanted a divorce with the panel). For a project I'm now working on (some rather moody, dark material), these Amaran c60s could be a real score given a 3 light set would cost me less than half the cost of one of our Novas.

Besides the frustrations that I have trying to attach the soft box, I really like it. It definitely seems brighter than I expected, sometimes a bit too bright. I’m doing single person.

    one of my biggest complaints with the 60x is that it is very unstable over battery power. Says you have 30 minutes, then shuts off two minutes later. Turn it back on and says you have 20 minutes remaining, then shuts off again after 5. Caused a bit of embarrassment on a client shoot. Hopefully they've improved that in the P60 series.

    For context, I looked up the Photometrics of Arri’s skypanel s30c (14” x 12”, 200W, RGB). It said 240lx at 5m, so, inverse square law (1/5 distance = 25x the light) 240x25= 6000lx at 1m...holy cow! The p60x is nearly matching the s30c in lux at 5600k! And that’s a $350 fixture compared to a $4,760 fixture! The smaller size won’t be as soft, 165sq in vs 90 sq in (55% the size) but it’s still an incredible achievement for the price. Great job Aputure

    Firstly you couldn't pay me to hold that light under my chin like you did! :) Kudos! But seriously, I'm looking for a simple lighting set up for a very small windowless art studio (producing small paintings as well). I'm told by pro artists that 5000K temp., high CRI above 90 and 1500 to 2000 Lux on artwork are the goals. My Q.s are can I get away with one of these lamps (the P60x) only? Can I use either the supplied soft box or umbrella or (?) reflecting panel to diffuse the light and reduce shadows and still achieve 1500 to 2000 Lux? Or if too much Lux will just dimming solve that problem? I may either mount it with a C-clamp table light stand because floor stands are just too bulky for my room. I also considered the Amaran Cob 60x with some kind of diffuser though it seems more of a spot. Advice welcome as artist's just don't get into as much detail! thanks!

    Loving the new style, seems more authentic than the undone reviews !

    Ohhhh disappointment, I really thought Aputure was making tanning lights. Still a very good video.

    Both of my p60c are delivering 4000lux at 1m, 5600k. The store I bought it from also tested their units and got the same results as I do. I think there may be a problem with the new p60s delivered this month. Anyone else? Aputure's been no help at all to solve this.
