Aputure has long held a dominant position in punchy LEDs and soft lights. With the new tube and flex lights, the company is moving to expand the map into new territory.
But are they any good?
Aputure has been making a major push in the last few years, even in the last few months, to be very dominant in the “punchy” wall-powered LED lighting space. The 1200d and 600d can blanket an alleyway or a field, while only being powered off a wall outlet or battery pack. This move has carved out quite a comfortable niche for Aputure, making its lights the default unit you can expect on a lot of smaller productions.
But now, Aputure is expanding its real estate into multiple directions at once. Instead of just focusing on brighter and brighter lights, the company has developed different shapes and use cases with two new lineups, the T2 and T4 Tube Lights along with the F21 and F22 Flex Light Panels. Both are available in either X (bi-color) options or RGB-WW.
