amaran Introduces Halo Series COB Bi-Color Studio Lights Across Five Models

amaran announced the Halo Series, a five-model family of studio-focused bi-color COB lights that range from the 63W Halo 60x to the 610W Halo 600x and claim a flagship output of 32,500 lux at one meter. The line is presented as a compact, affordable studio solution with reported MSRPs starting at $119 for the Halo 60x and reaching $469 for the Halo 600x, and availability listed as “available now” with shipping and regional caveats.

The company framed the Halo Series as focused “on everyday studio essentials without compromising the core qualities creators count on: powerful, studio-ready bi-color lighting with a price point and simple operation designed to scale as they grow their setups.” Color temperature is adjustable across the family from 2700 to 6500 K, and each fixture uses a Bowens S mount for modifiers.

Model-level specifications mix wattage and claimed output at 1 m (5600K). The Halo 60x is listed at 63W with a claimed output of about 3,270 lux at 1 m (some coverage shows 3,240 lux). The Halo 100x is 100W and listed at 4,860 lux; the Halo 200x is 200W and listed at 10,530 lux; the Halo 300x is reported as 305W with 16,120 lux; and the Halo 600x is 610W with 32,500 lux at 1 m. The 60x/100x pair are described as ultra-compact, while the 200x, 300x, and 600x maintain the same length and width as they scale with deeper bodies.

Controls and integration lean toward fast studio workflows. “Instead of complicated menus, every Halo fixture features separate knobs for brightness and color temperature. This allows quick adjustments without digging through settings or screens.” Wireless control via Bluetooth and the amaran app is supported, and with built-in NFC, creators can tap to add an amaran Halo fixture in the amaran app in seconds. For wired workflows, the Halo series is the first amaran COB lineup to offer DMX control via USB-C on every model, with an optional USB-C to 5‑pin DMX In & Out adapter to connect to industry consoles.

Weights vary across the range: Halo 60x and 100x are listed at 0.9 lb / 420 g each; the 200x is 4.3 lb / 1.95 kg; the 300x is 5.07 lb / 2.3 kg; and the 600x is 6.42 lb / 2.91 kg. amaran also claims the Halo family can deliver up to 65 percent more output than the previous COB S generation while maintaining a compact design.

With claimed outputs, Bowens compatibility, and DMX via USB-C, the Halo Series targets small- to mid-sized studios and creators building scalable setups. Reported pricing and the 63W-to-610W span make the family a contender for creators balancing footprint, output, and modifier ecosystems; verify the official spec sheet for the Halo 60x lux discrepancy (3,270 vs 3,240) and the 300x wattage listing (305W) before specifying exact lab values.
