Aputure RGB-LED panel, 300W, 2.300–6.800K color temperature, CRI ≥96. High-output area lighting with 36,000+ color combinations, DMX control.
The panel operates with a color temperature range of 2,300K to 6,800K, achieving a CRI of ≥96 and a TLCI of ≥97. RGB functionality allows for over 36,000 color combinations with HSI control. Power is supplied via V-Mount/Gold Mount batteries or the included 19V power adapter. Control is possible via DMX512, Wireless DMX, Sidus Link App, or manually via the display. The housing is IP54 certified and features active cooling with temperature-dependent fan control.
Aputure introduced the Nova P300c in 2021 as an evolution of their LS series. It was one of the first affordable RGB panels with over 300W of output for the independent sector. In 2022, the control system was expanded to include wireless control of multiple panels. The technology is based on Aputure's proprietary RGBWW LED array, specifically developed for cinematographic demands.
The Nova P300c is suitable for large-area illumination of interiors and as a book light with diffusion. Typical applications include window simulation, colored accent lighting, and eye-light for close-ups. In "The Batman" (2022), similar Aputure panels were used for the characteristic red night scenes. The slim form factor allows mounting in locations where conventional Fresnel lights would not fit. Disadvantages: The fan is noticeably audible at full power, and the light throw is limited for large sets.
Competing products include the ARRI SkyPanel S30-C (higher build quality, double the price) and the Litepanels Gemini 2x1 (similar specifications, different light distribution). A smaller alternative is the Aputure Nova P150c with 150W. For larger productions with a budget, ARRI SkyPanels or LED walls are suitable; for low-budget projects, Aputure MC panels or Nanlite PavoTubes are options. The P300c fills the gap between consumer LEDs and high-end studio lighting.
Ich schätze die hohen CRI/TLCI-Werte der P300c, weil ich bei Hautfarben keine Korrekturen in der Post brauche. Die RGB-Funktion gibt mir sofort die perfekte Farbtemperatur für Mixed-Light-Situationen, ohne dass ich Filter wechseln muss. Der schmale Formfaktor passt perfekt zwischen Fensterrahmen für natürlich wirkendes Tageslicht.
Mit der P300c kann ich Stimmungen sofort am Set visualisieren – von warmem Kerzenlicht bis zu kaltem Mondschein in Sekunden über die App steuerbar. Die RGB-Funktion hilft mir, emotionale Wendepunkte durch Farbwechsel zu unterstreichen, ohne dass das Licht-Team komplette Setups umbauen muss. Besonders bei Nachtdrehs spare ich wertvolle Zeit.
Eine P300c kostet etwa 1.400 Euro – deutlich günstiger als vergleichbare ARRI-Technik bei 90% der Leistung. Pro Drehtag spare ich Transportkosten, weil vier Panels in einen Standard-Lichtkoffer passen. Der niedrige Stromverbrauch reduziert Generator-Kosten bei Außendrehs erheblich.
