Key Selling Points

  • More room through diffusion: its 4,890-lux bare reading at 1 m is above the Halo 60x's 3,270 lux, useful when a close key needs a small softbox.
  • Two ways to power: the supplied 100W AC-to-DC adapter is ready for a fixed set; a suitable USB-C PD source is an alternate path, with the required cable sold separately.
  • Keep your modifier options: the full-size Bowens mount works with compatible softboxes, reflectors and Fresnels. None of those beam shapers is included.
  • White-light control: tune 2,700–6,500K with onboard controls, then use app/NFC pairing or optional USB-C DMX when the fixture joins a larger lighting plan.
  • Plan for a dry setup: the IP20 head belongs indoors or under appropriate cover.

FAQ

Is the Halo 100x enough for a small interview key?

Its official bare rating is 4,890 lux at 1 m. That can suit a close single-person setup, but a softbox and greater distance reduce light at the subject. Compare the Halo 200x if you need more headroom for a larger modifier or wider frame.

Can I power it from USB-C on location?

Yes, amaran lists USB-C PD as an option alongside DC power. The box contains the 100W DC adapter and AC cable, but no USB-C power cable or battery. Match a compatible source and cable to the light's power requirement before relying on that setup.

Can I use my existing Bowens softbox?

The head has a full-size Bowens mount, so a compatible softbox can attach. Check its weight and stand support, especially when the modifier is larger than the light. The supplied tilt adapter connects the fixture to a baby-pin stand; the stand and softbox are separate purchases.

How do I control several Halo lights together?

Set output and CCT on each head, pair compatible units through the amaran app, or add amaran's optional USB-C to 5-pin DMX adapter for a wired console. NFC speeds app pairing but does not replace the power cable.

What colour-temperature range can the Halo 100x match?

Its 2,700–6,500K range covers warm practical-light looks through daylight white. Set the light and camera white balance for the actual scene; the fixture does not produce saturated full-colour effects.

Is the Halo 100x suitable for an uncovered outdoor shoot?

It is rated IP20. Use it in dry or properly covered conditions and keep the power source protected. For a fixture with an IP54 rating and full-colour control, compare the Ray 120c alongside your output and power needs.
