The Aputure LS 1200d Pro LED Light is a significant advancement in professional lighting equipment, catering primarily to the needs of the film and photography industry. This high-powered, daylight-balanced fixture is designed to deliver exceptional brightness and versatility for various shooting conditions.

The LS 1200d Pro features a robust build quality aimed at the professional and rental markets. The fixture is weather-resistant, ensuring durability and reliability in various outdoor conditions. Importantly, all operational controls are situated on the controller/ballast unit, enhancing the light’s usability and efficiency during shoots??.

One of the standout aspects of the Aputure LS 1200d is its three hyper reflectors (narrow, medium, and wide beams), which adapt to diverse shooting environments and requirements. These reflectors allow for significant adjustments in light distribution and intensity, which is crucial for creative lighting setups. However, it is worth noting that the narrow reflector tends to produce a stronger hotspot, which softens as you switch to medium and wide versions??.

Weighing in at approximately 19.73 lbs (8.94 kg), the LS 1200d Pro is undeniably substantial, necessitating the use of a sturdy combo light stand for support. This requirement may deter individuals looking for more portable solutions. However, the yoke of the light is robust, minimizing flex and ensuring stability during use. The overall design and weight considerations signify the Aputure LS 1200d suitability for more stationary, high-demand shooting environments rather than run-and-gun scenarios??.

The LS 1200d Pro draws a considerable 1440W of power but still operates within the limits of standard household AC outlets, offering a significant advantage over some traditional HMI lights that require more powerful sources. Despite its high power draw, this LED light presents a more efficient alternative to traditional lighting solutions, particularly in terms of heat emission and energy consumption??.

In terms of operation, the LS 1200d Pro extends beyond conventional control mechanisms. While lacking a Gold or V-mount for battery power, it includes two 48V/15A DC inputs, allowing for substantial battery-powered operation albeit with considerable battery capacity. This feature reflects Aputure’s forward-thinking approach, catering to evolving technological standards and user needs??.

The Aputure LS 1200d Pro is not just a lighting tool but a reflection of the shifting dynamics in professional lighting technology. Its design considers the rigorous demands of professional settings while incorporating the benefits of modern LED technology. However, its size, weight, and the necessity for heavy-duty mounting solutions may limit its appeal to those with more compact or mobile setups??.
