The Amaran RGBWW PT4c LED Pixel 4-Feet Tube is a battery-powered pixel tube that is part of Amaran’s first-ever full-color LED pixel tube series. The Pixel Tube is 4-feet long featuring multiple Pixel FX, RGBWW color quality, Sidus Link app and DMX1 control, and USB-C rechargeable batteries packed into their sleek and slender form factor. At 4-feet in length, the Amaran PT4c is an intuitive, mid-sized multi-tool and versatile tube light that expands creativity and opens a world of colorful possibilities. For greater control and color-chasing capabilities, the PT4c features 16 built-in pixels that can be independently adjusted via the Sidus Link app and 7 pre-programmed Pixel FX for a variety of scenarios, in addition to 9 System FX.

Optical Quality Images

As a full-color fixture, the PT4c’s RGBWW LED chipset produces stellar color quality and accurate skin tones throughout its CCT range of 2,700K to 10,000K with full green-magenta control, achieving high CRI (95), TLCI (98), and SSI values across the board, with an SSI (Tungsten) of 85 and SSI (D56) of 75.

Sleek Form Factor

Inside its sleek T12 form factor, the PT4c is powered by a 77Wh internal lithium-ion battery for up to 170 minutes of maximum output. By utilizing a ubiquitous USB-C port, the PT4c can be easily charged, and can even fast charge at 32W using USB-C PD to reach full capacity in under 3 hours.

Mechanism

Complementing its simple design, each PT4c comes with two clear, 3/8-16 inches threaded magnetic T12 brackets to make mounting as easy as possible. Use the magnets to attach the pixel tube to ferromagnetic surfaces or add a 3/8-16 inch spigot or baby pin to mount it to a light stand. The clear designs of the brackets ensure that the mounting solutions do not interfere with the quality or output of the light. For additional mounting options, each end cap houses a 3/8-16 inch threaded mount. The possibilities are endless; with the ability to use splicing connectors to arrange the tubes in multiple 3D shapes, like with the Amaran T2c/T4c.

Smooth Operation

The PT4c can be controlled from the new interface on the back of the tube, featuring the latest UI, or via the Sidus Link Bluetooth app that powers the rest of the Aputure and Amaran product lines. This ultra-capable application can control all the lights in the scene, activate stunning lighting effects, and ensure that the Pixel Tubes are always up to date. For more advanced console controls, a USB-C to 5-Pin XLR In and Out DMX Dongle1 unlocks DMX control for the entire Pixel Tube product line, like the Amaran T2c/T4c and F-Series products.

Versatile Mid-Sized Pixel Tube

Combining layers of functionality, battery power, high-quality color, and a high transmittance diffuser that produces a wide 180-degree beam angle, the versatile mid-sized Pixel Tube from Amaran shines as an effect, fill, accent light, and so much more. Lastly, for that extra touch of lighting control, the 45-degree Fabric Light Control Grid3 will hone the quality of the light to perfection.

Target Audience

The Amaran PT4c is ideal for filmmakers and photographers who need a mid-sized battery-powered tube light that is capable of unique pixel effects and enough output to light a scene but do not need the ultra-high pixel density, ultra-thin bezels, and LumenRadio CRMX available in products like the Aputure MT Pro. Filmmakers who require a balance between a more maneuverable form factor and better battery life will enjoy using the Amaran PT4c as it measures in at a moderate 4-feet and can operate for up to 170 minutes at maximum output. At twice the length of the PT2c and T2c, the PT4c is a better tool for casting light across wider areas or acting as a larger in-camera practical to add life to a scene and can match the PT2c’s 170-minute runtime at maximum output.
