The Aputure LS 1200d Pro Control Box is the replacement control box, or ballast, for the LS 1200d Pro. It powers the 1200W head from 100V to 240V AC or from two 48V/15A 3-pin XLR DC inputs and carries the fixture's DMX512, etherCON and LumenRadio CRMX connections, so an Aputure 1200d owner can get back to full output without replacing the whole kit.

Key Features

  • Replacement control box for the Aputure LS 1200d Pro head; connects through the LS 1200 Series 7-pin weatherproof head cable.
  • AC input for 100V to 240V, 50/60 Hz, with a maximum power consumption of 1,440W at 15A maximum.
  • Two 48V/15A (720W) 3-pin XLR DC inputs: one input runs the light at half output, both inputs give full output.
  • Control by on-board LCD, Sidus Link app over Bluetooth (up to 80 m), DMX512 in and out, Art-Net and sACN over etherCON, and LumenRadio CRMX (up to 100 m).
  • Ports sit on the side so the box can stand upright on its feet; two Lightning Clamps let it mount in different orientations.

FAQ

Do I use the AC input on wall power and the XLR inputs on batteries?

Yes. Wall power or an AC generator goes into the Neutrik powerCON AC input (100V to 240V). Battery systems connect to the two 48V/15A 3-pin XLR DC inputs: one input runs the LS 1200d Pro at half output, and both inputs together give full output.

Can the LS 1200d Pro control box run from a household circuit or a small generator?

Aputure rates the fixture at 1,440W maximum consumption and 15A maximum current on 100V to 240V AC, and states that the LS 1200d Pro can be powered from a Honda 2000W generator.

Which head cable connects this control box to the lamp head?

The LS 1200 Series 7-Pin Weatherproof Head Cable, 7.5 m long. The LS 600 series lights use 5-pin head cables, so keep a 7-pin cable with this control box.
