The Amaran RGBWW color PT1c LED 1-Foot Pixel Tube with 4 Independently Controllable Pixels is an ultra-portable pixel tube that is part of Amaran’s first-ever full-color LED pixel tube series and is comprised of a 1-foot length 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. The Amaran PT1c is a compact and versatile tube light that will unleash creativity and unlock infinite possibilities. Outshining other lights in its class, the PT1c features 4 built-in pixels that can be independently controlled via the Sidus Link app and 7 pre-programmed Pixel FX for a variety of scenarios, in addition to 9 System FX

Optimal Color Quality

As a full-color fixture, the PT1c’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.

Construction

Complementing its sleek, portable T12 form factor, the PT1c is powered by a removable 9.6Wh Lithium-ion battery for up to 70 minutes of maximum output. For enhanced versatility, the PT1c’s multi-faceted end caps not only feature built-in magnets but also include 180-degree rotatability to ensure that it is always in the perfect position.

Mechanism

In addition to magnetized endcaps, the PT1c features a 3/8-16 inches threaded mount on each end of the light, for mounting the light on friction arms and light stands when magnets aren’t an option. 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. The PT1c 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 Wired 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.

Excellent Performance

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

Target Audience

The Amaran PT1c is ideal for filmmakers and creators who need a portable, battery-powered tube light that is capable of unique pixel effects but does not need the ultra-high pixel density, ultra-thin bezels, and LumenRadio CRMX available in the Aputure MT Pro. Users who require a portable and versatile LED pixel tube will find the Amaran PT1c extremely convenient as it measures in at only 1- foot and can charge up in under 2 hours with a standard 5V/2A USB-C charger. Additionally, to unlock its potential, users only need the free Sidus Link mobile app to wirelessly control it and activate Pixel FX and Pixel Control.

Design

Its simple design also makes it ideal for filmmakers who prefer no-hassle mounting solutions, as its magnetic end caps can rotate for perfect positioning, and it's industry-standard 3/8-16in threads are easy to rig from articulating arms and light stands. With easy-to-use mounting options, the PT1c can be used anywhere from on top of the camera to hide in plain sight.
