The Aputure LS 300x is a Bi-color Point Source LED Light

daylight-balanced 300d II and added Expanded Bi-color CCT
control, making it the first Bowens Mount Bi-color LED that
can be used with optical modifiers properly.

* Batteries: Voltage 12~16.8V; Recommended ≥15A continuous discharge.
* The LS 300x can be operated using a single battery for up to half of the 

damage the power supply and the lighting xture.
* Only use batteries that support the necessary continuous current discharge speci
cations mentioned above. If non-compatible
batteries are used, the batteries will enter a protection state and the lighting xture will not operate as intended.
* Customers can choose V-Mount or A-Mount battery plates for their control boxes upon purchase according to their needs.
