It’s a battle royal of affordable bi-color lights between the old standard and the new kid on the block.
Videographer, photographer, and music producer Dunna decided to pit the similarly specced Aputure Amaran 200x and the SmallRig RC 220B against each other to see which LED COB light is best for content creators.
I know what you’re thinking. Aputure has been making quality and affordable lights for some time now, but doesn’t SmallRig specialize in camera cages and accessories? You’re not wrong, as many filmmakers and content creators take advantage of SmallRig’s cages and accessories when filming. But they’ve been building other things, including LED COB lights.
Let’s dive into the findings!
Round 1… Fight!
The Aputure Amaran 200x and SmallRig RC 220B are very similar in specs, size, and even pricing (under $400), and if you’re in the market for new lights, you may be wondering what would be the best bang for your buck between the two.
The good news is, Dunna has tested both and has some answers.
