Colorful Pixel Tube Lights | Aputure Amaran PT1c, 2c, and 4c
In this week’s episode, we have fun experimenting with the new Amaran PT1c, 2c, and 4c pixel tube lights from @aputurelighting! These cool lights can play a role in any lighting design with their RGBWW color spectrum, pre-programmed system and pixel FX, and long-lasting inbuilt batteries. In this video we overview the PT series’ feature set and demonstrate how you might creatively incorporate them into your lighting kit. Let’s take a closer look!
