When you’re shooting in Thailand — Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, or Pattaya — light control becomes a matter of survival. The sun here doesn’t just illuminate; it dominates. That’s why professional filmmakers rely on compact yet powerful tools that can shape, cut, and balance that natural intensity. The Aputure LS 60x Bi-Color LED Focusing Flood Light was designed exactly for that: precision light control in a small, rugged package built for real production use.
The LS 60x Bi-Color LED Focusing Flood Light from Aputure is a precision fixture with beam spread, power, color balance, and light intensity options. The light has an expansive color range of 2700 to 6500K to meet any ambient light challenge or match other fixtures. The light’s beam spread range of a tight 15 degrees to medium flood of 45 degrees can be further modified by the included 8-way barndoors for selective lighting. Light intensity is adjustable too from 0 to 100%.
Power offers yet more options. You can use the 60x worldwide thanks to its 110 to 240V adapter but it will also run on one or two NP-F-type batteries or a V-mount battery in situations where AC current is unavailable. The LS 60x is also IP54 weatherproof (dust and water resistant), so it is built to withstand any shooting environment. It is compatible with the included Bowens Mount adapter and a separately available Spotlight Mini Zoom lens. Among its other impressive features are nine built-in lighting effects including Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, Faulty Bulb, TV, Pulsing, Strobe, Explosion, and Fire.
The LS 60x sits in the middle of Aputure’s lineup between pocket fixtures and larger workhorse units like the 600d or 1200x. But unlike most small LEDs, it’s not a compromise. It’s a true focusing bi-color flood light that brings HMI-style control to an ultra-portable body. With a 2700–6500K color range and focusable 15–45° beam, the 60x offers both punch and softness — perfect for tight spaces, quick setups, or mobile crews shooting in unpredictable Thai environments.
Why Filmmakers in Thailand Love the LS 60x
Thailand’s production conditions are unique — high humidity, outdoor heat, and fast-moving crews. The LS 60x is built for this kind of work. Its IP54 weather-resistant construction keeps it safe from dust and light rain. The robust all-metal housing and active cooling system mean it can run all day in Bangkok’s 35°C humidity without skipping a beat.
Whether you’re filming a commercial in downtown Sukhumvit, an interview in a Chiang Mai studio, or a music video in Phuket at sunset, the LS 60x gives you consistent, flicker-free output with the clean Aputure color accuracy cinematographers expect — 95+ CRI, 96+ TLCI, 2,000 lux at 1 meter in flood mode, and an impressive 30,000 lux when focused tight.
Flexible Power for Any Location
The LS 60x runs on AC or DC, giving you real freedom in how you deploy it. Power it from a wall socket on stage or mount a V-mount or dual NP-F battery plate for outdoor or run-and-gun setups. Aputure designed this fixture for gaffers who hate compromises — you get the same output and color fidelity whether you’re plugged in or running off batteries.
That flexibility makes it a favorite for documentary crews and travel videographers shooting across Thailand — from city rooftops to rural temples — where power access can’t be guaranteed. With its compact size, the LS 60x also travels easily, fitting in a carry-on alongside your lenses and camera body.
Precision Light Control
The 60x is not just bright; it’s controllable. The built-in fresnel mechanism allows smooth focusing between spot (15°) and flood (45°), and its included 8-leaf barndoors provide tight control over spill and shape. For even more flexibility, it integrates seamlessly with Bowens-mount accessories via the Aputure LS 60 Softbox or Lantern modifiers, transforming it from a hard spotlight into a soft wraparound key or fill.
If you’re mixing it with other Aputure fixtures — like the 300d II, 600x, or Nova P300c — the 60x fits right in via the Sidus Link App, letting you group, dim, and color-match multiple lights remotely. That’s a serious time-saver on multi-unit commercial shoots or when rigged high in tight locations.
Professional Output and Color Accuracy
The LS 60x’s light quality stands shoulder-to-shoulder with higher-end cinema fixtures. With ±100K color accuracy, zero flicker at any frame rate, and a color range that easily matches tungsten or daylight sources, it’s ideal for narrative film, interviews, or controlled lighting setups where precise tone balance matters.
Because of its bi-color capability, you can blend seamlessly with ambient lighting or shift your key color temperature without swapping gels — essential for Thai interiors that often mix daylight and warm incandescent sources.
Durability for the Thai Climate
Bangkok and Phuket are not forgiving locations. Heat, humidity, and travel can destroy cheaper gear. The LS 60x’s die-cast aluminum housing, reinforced yoke mount, and IP54 weather sealing make it one of the few small fixtures that can survive tropical use. It’s compact enough for a small crew yet strong enough for professional grip setups on large productions.
