To add a beautifully controlled soft light to your scene, attach the included softbox, one of two strengths of diffusion cloths, or the included light control grid using the integrated hook-and-loop fabric to further finesse your lighting design. The F22x can also be combined with the Amaran F22 Lantern with light control skirt to extend the fixture as a volumetric lantern or pancake light.` The amaran F22x is ideal for content creators, indie filmmakers, and videographers who need a versatile and literally flexible lighting solution. The bi-color flexible panel gives users unmatched strength and control over a wide, expanded CCT range to match a variety of white light environments. The natural design of the flex light results in a medium-sized source with ample surface area for an innately soft light while still producing enough intensity to impact the scene. Users who want a 200W chipset in a traditional 2’ x 2’ form factor but still need output need look no further than the F22x, which outpaces all other 2’ x 2’ bi-color light mats.
For creators looking for a compact and portable lighting solution with a seamless user experience, the F22x control box features a multi-voltage V-Mount or Gold-Mount battery plate compatible with 14.4V/26V/28.8V/48V batteries. Full output can also be achieved using the AC power supply.We are a credit broker and not a lender. Finance is offered subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history. Minimum amounts and eligibility criteria applies. As an ultra-light, ultra-thin fabric light, the F22x is compatible with a wide variety of use cases and excels in on-the-go travel and tight spaces. And as a simple, soft light that can fold compactly, it is the perfect close-up key light. Its traditional 2’x2’ square form factor allows the F22x to provide ample surface area for an innately soft light, while still producing enough intensity to impact the scene. Bare LEDs tend to cast multiple shadows. I highly recommend using the included modifier with at least the 1/2 Grid Cloth to smooth it out. Bouncing is also an option. Competition Colour LED Mat from amaran is powerful, versatile, and flexible bi- Colour LED mat that measures 2 x 2'. It offers outstanding light output and Colour rendering suitable for a variety of users, from filmmakers to videographers, content creators, and still photographers. Providing 200W of power, this ultralight fixture's high-output bi- Colour chipset can be tuned from 2500K to 7500K, and features nine customizable lighting FX. It has stellar CRI and TLCI scores of 95+ and 98+, and stepless dimming from 0 to 100%. An included folding X-frame stretches the mat to a rigid panel that can be attached directly to a C-stand grip head using the straight Baby Pin adapter, or onto any standard light stand with the included right angle Baby Pin and tilting stand mount. The included foldable softbox has two strengths of diffusion, and a fabric grid that uses using an integrated hook-and-loop fabric to instantly turn this flexible mat into an ultrathin soft light that will add beautifully controlled soft light to a scene. The control box is a multi-voltage AC power supply that also features a V-Mount battery plate for use with compatible 14.4V, 26V, or 28.8V batteries. Full output can be achieved when using the AC power supply, using batteries allows the F22x to be used at either half-power or full-power, depending on battery strength.
When it comes to soft light, you want to get the diffusion farther away from the light. 4″ is not a lot. It’s nice to have a softbox included, and I appreciate the simplicity. However, I would punch it through a 4×4 or 6×6 frame to get a more pleasing look. Again. These are tools, and you have an included option that will work well in many situations. The amaran flexible lights are well built with plenty of output for their wattage. I’m a bit surprised by the release since these styles of lights have somewhat cooled off over the years. Clearly, amaran feels there is interest in them as Aputure does listen to its customers and does a good job creating products they want. With that, the F22 fixtures are brighter than other 200W 2’x2′ models, so I see these as an advancement of the flexible panels at a lower price.
The fixture’s design and frame are well designed, I like that it doesn’t use a hook and loop for attaching to a frame. The eyelets can come in handy for mounting to a custom frame or nails to a surface. I do wish it included the controller mounting clamp as I like the feature with other Aputure lights that have controllers. I’m sure it comes down to keeping the cost lower. A new feature that will be popping up on fixtures in the amaran product line is DMX control with a special USB-C to 5-Pin DMX512 In & Out Adapter Cable, allowing professional-level control to the flexible light product line. This USB-C DMX input is also included with the new amaran Tube Lights that were also announced. Controller Fan Noise To get an idea of the output when in HSI color mode, I took readings in the primary six colors from 1-meter / 3.3′. HSI Color The 200 watts F22 model is basically two 100W F21 panels combined. Therefore you can expect half the output with the F21 model.
Attach the included softbox, one of two strengths of diffusion, and the fabric grid using the integrated hook-and-loop fabric to further finesse your lighting design and add a beautifully controlled soft light to your scene.
