Sometimes, LEDs change so fast that something announced last week is already old and no
good.
Not with this little light.
Check it out.
Hi, this is Jay P. Morgan.
Today on the Slanted Lens we're gonna review the Aputure light, the 120d, which is a daylight
version of the light we reviewed earlier, called the 120t.
Let's start by breaking this light down.
First off it's got a Bowens mount.
The Bowens mount is a bayonet mount that is fabulous because it matches so many modifiers
that I already have.
So, that Bowens mount makes it very easy for me to modify this and to use it with all the
different softboxes and things that I already own.
It's got a seven-inch reflector on it right now, but there's a lot of different things
we can put on there.
We're gonna talk about a couple of those here in a second.
We've got the head that has a cable that runs into a control box.
The control box is able to dial this up and down.
Right now we have it on its lowest setting and it can go up to 100%.
That's a powerful light.
It really is a powerful light.
And we also have a battery plate.
I have it on here for an Anton Bauer battery or it can put a V-Mount battery on the back.
So, it can be run on battery or you can plug them in and run them on AC as well.
So, you've got both those versions.
The nice thing about having this control panel is if you put this light up and you're going
to use it in a scene or overhead or boom it or whatever, your controls are all back on
this control panel that's away from the head and now I can change the battery here, I can
change the power here.
I don't have to get up there and move it to try to work on the light.
The control panel has an antenna, which means that, from a remote, you can control these
in groups.
You can put two or three on the same channel.
And you can lower them or raise the power.
Like, if you have them on a backdrop or something, you can raise or lower them together from
a remote, which makes those very useful.
That's a very useful item.
So, there's our basic light setup.
But now for the power light.
This is always the thing that's most important to me.
And that is how much power does the light really give us?
Well, the only way to determine that is to use a light meter and to test the light.
I mean, everyone has different circumstances they're working in.
Manufacturers say one thing somebody will say another.
So, for me, I just get six feet away from the light, six feet away from the LED.
I put my ISO at 320, 60 to the second and then take a meter reading.
On this light, I got 5.6 which is a very powerful light.
I will always refer to this as my six-foot test.
How much exposure do we get at 6 feet at 320 ISO?
So, there you go, 5.6.
It is fascinating and it's one of the things I think is so interesting.
If I take off this Bowens mount here and I put on a Fresnel adapter that Aputure also
makes, this Fresnel adapter now takes that and it focuses the light.
We've got 12 to 42 degree.
At 12 degrees, this thing is crazy bright.
It's f16 in the center, got a nice center hotspot on it that is going to be f16.
When I bring it back to 42 degrees, I get f11.
So, I picked up two stops with the Fresnel adapter we put on here, which is really important
to know if you wanna get a nice focused kinda area of light.
It also gives you a ring you can put barn doors and things on, so you can modify it
even further.
Now, they are a single source LED, which means they're bright and punchy but it also means
they're pretty hard and contrasty.
So, that means you really have to modify them.
So, the CRI on this light is in the 95 range which means the color is clean, the color
is good.
So, why do I think this light is worthwhile?
I'll tell you why: because for $640 you get a light that is true color, powerful, and
very easy to modify.
That's why I think they're worthwhile.
They're super light.
It's easy to put a kit of these together, three or four of these in a kit that you call
haul with you to take it on location to do whatever you need to do.
It's kinda the old rule of thumb with still photography.
And that is, we used to have a Strobe head.
And then you modified it to do different things, hard to soft.
The film industry has always been about a different light for each use.
You know, get a light for that.
Get a light for this.
Well, this is a light that does all of those things, because you can modify and change
it and be able to adapt it to the different uses on set.
So, I think it's just a multi-use light on set at a very good price point.
And that's why I like these lights.
Just to be clear, Aputure is not a sponsor here, the Slanted Lens, but I've been using
their light since they came out with the tungsten version, and now the daylight version on set.
I love them on set.
They really fulfill a need that I have there and I think you'll find they will for you
as well.
So, check 'em out.
So, if you have thoughts about it, if you've bought one of these, share them with us in
the comments.
Let's hear what you're thinking of this light and how it's working for you on set.
If you're going to buy one make sure you buy it through one of our affiliate links and
keep us alive here at the Slanted Lens, so we can keep bringing great for you.
So, there's my thoughts about the Aputure light, great company, great set of lights.
So, keep those cameras rolling.
