Amaran T2c review: a fun and creative RGBWW LED tube that enhances portraits and doubles as a colorful prop!
This portable 20W tube light is perfect for adding creative color to location portraits or providing fill light that matches the color temperature of available light
The Amaran T2c is a two-foot-long light tube designed for photographers and content creators. Produced by Aputure, a company with a history of creating professional lighting equipment since 2005, the Amaran brand was launched around 2020 to offer more affordable options. The T2c is part of a wider range of Amaran products, including full-color COB lights and portable battery-powered models.
Weighing 1.67 lbs (0.8 kg) with a battery grip attached, the T2c measures 23.6 × 1.7 × 1.7 in (60 × 4.2 × 4.2 cm). It features a metal and plastic construction and operates on 20W, providing 1,631 lux at a distance of 0.5 meters. The light can be adjusted from 2500K to 7500K, with a high CRI of 95+ and TLCI of 98+, ensuring accurate color reproduction. The battery life lasts up to two hours at full power.
One of the T2c's standout features is its compact size and solid metal construction, making it feel like a professional lighting accessory at its price point. It includes a metal spine, metal caps at either end, and a white plastic diffuser to soften the light. The unit can be powered either through a mains connection or a battery grip (sold separately). The OLED display and control dials allow for fine-tuning of color and effects, though the small screen requires some effort to navigate menus.
