In this video I review the new Aputure Amaran 60d and 60x, two budget lights geared towards solo content creators and YouTubers.

These lights are a fantastic bargain not only for beginners, but anyone else who is looking to improve the quality of their video lighting on the cheap. Both lights retail for less than $200!

The Amaran 60d and 60x have so much going for them. They are tiny, portable, bright, quiet, color accurate, battery powered, mobile app controlled, and more.

If you're looking for the best budget COB LED lights going into 2022 and beyond, definitely watch the full video.
