Description

The Aputure Light Storm LS 300d II is a professional 300W daylight-balanced COB LED fixture designed for film, television, commercial production, interviews, photography, events, and studio lighting.

The 300d Mark II improves upon the original 300d with approximately 20% more output, a redesigned 360° rotating yoke, silent control box, wireless control, DMX512 compatibility, and a more durable production-ready design.

With its Bowens mount, the 300d II can accept a wide range of Aputure and third-party light modifiers, making it an extremely versatile fixture for both hard and soft lighting.

High-Output Daylight Source

The LS 300d II provides a powerful daylight-balanced source suitable for both studio and location production.

With the standard reflector, Aputure rates the fixture at approximately 45,000 lux at 1 meter. With the optional Fresnel 2X in spot mode, output can reach approximately 80,000 lux at 1 meter.

This gives production crews enough output to work through diffusion, bounce the light, or use larger modifiers while maintaining useful exposure levels.

Bowens Mount

The standard Bowens mount provides compatibility with a large selection of lighting modifiers.

Popular options include:

  • Aputure Light Dome
  • Light Dome II
  • Light Dome III
  • Light Box
  • Lantern
  • Fresnel 2X
  • Spotlight Mount
  • Softboxes
  • Reflectors
  • Third-party Bowens-mount modifiers

This makes the 300d II suitable for everything from a focused hard source to a large, soft key light.

Color Quality

The 300d II is designed for professional camera work with a CRI of ≥96 and TLCI of ≥96, providing accurate color reproduction for skin tones, products, and production environments.

The fixture is fixed at approximately 5600K, making it ideal for daylight-balanced production.

For productions requiring adjustable color temperature, the Aputure 300x or newer full-color fixtures would be more appropriate.

Lighting Control

The LS 300d II can be controlled directly from the fixture or remotely through multiple control options.

Onboard Control

The control box provides direct intensity adjustment with 0–100% dimming.

Four dimming curves are available:

  • Linear
  • Logarithmic
  • Exponential
  • S-Curve

DMX512

The fixture can be integrated into professional lighting consoles using DMX512, making it suitable for multi-light studio and live production environments.

Sidus Link

The 300d II supports Sidus Link app control, allowing compatible Aputure fixtures to be controlled wirelessly from a mobile device.

Wireless Remote

Aputure also provides 2.4GHz wireless remote control through the included remote system.

Built-In Lighting Effects

The 300d II includes built-in lighting effects for creative production.

Available effects include:

  • Explosion
  • Faulty Bulb
  • TV
  • Strobe
  • Paparazzi
  • Lightning
  • Fireworks
  • Pulsing

These effects can be useful for music videos, narrative production, commercials, and creative photography.

Battery Operation

The LS 300d II can be configured for battery-powered operation using compatible high-current V-Mount or Gold-Mount batteries.

For battery operation, Aputure specifies a 14.4V/14.8V battery rated at ≥15A, with the supported voltage range listed as 12–16.8V.

Battery runtime will vary depending on battery capacity and output level.
