Description
The Aputure LS 1200D Pro represents the pinnacle of LED lighting technology, delivering HMI-level output with all the advantages of modern LED fixtures. With output equivalent to a 1600W HMI, this is serious professional lighting power suitable for the most demanding productions. We've supplied this light for fashion shoots, high-end commercials, music videos, and TV work where you need maximum output without compromise. The sheer brightness means you can overpower daylight, create dramatic effects, or use heavy diffusion while maintaining strong output.
What sets our kit apart is the extensive range of Bowens mount modifiers we offer as optional extras. The Aputure F10 Fresnel creates a focused spotlight with precise beam control, the Lantern 90 provides beautiful omnidirectional soft light, and the various Light Dome options deliver controlled soft sources in different sizes and depths. The 19° Spotlight Mount enables theatrical lighting with gobos and shutters, while the Light Box 30x120 creates the long, soft source favoured for fashion and beauty work. This combination of raw power and modifier versatility makes one light capable of serving multiple roles throughout your production.
The weather-resistant construction ensures reliable operation on location shoots where conditions aren't always ideal. The separated control box design means the light head remains manageable for mounting or high positioning, while the control box stays safely on the ground. We include a professional ARRI universal lighting stand rated for the fixture's weight, plus sandbag for safe setup. The entire kit packs into a wheeled soft case for transport between locations. Whether you're lighting large spaces, creating dramatic single-source setups, or need serious punch for exterior work, the LS 1200D Pro delivers the output professional productions demand.
FAQs
How does the 1200D Pro compare to the 600D Pro? The 1200D Pro delivers twice the output of the Aputure LS 600D Pro. This makes the 1200D significantly more powerful for large spaces, heavy diffusion, or situations where you need to overpower ambient light. The trade-off is size, weight, and power consumption - the 1200D requires more robust support and higher power draw. For most productions, the 600D is sufficient, but when you need maximum output, the 1200D is unmatched.
What modifiers work with this light? The 1200D Pro features a Bowens mount, making it compatible with the industry-standard range of modifiers. We offer Aputure-specific options including the F10 Fresnel, Lantern 90, Light Dome 150, Light Dome II, 19° Spotlight Mount, and Light Box 30x120 as optional extras. The included Medium Hyper Reflector provides a standard focused beam. You can also use third-party Bowens mount accessories, though larger softboxes may require additional support due to the weight.
Can I run this light on location without mains power? Yes, the 1200D Pro can be powered by V-mount batteries for completely wireless operation, though runtime will be limited due to the high power draw. For most location work, we recommend generator power or mains supply. V-mount batteries are best used as backup power or for brief cordless operation when running cables isn't practical. V-mount batteries and chargers are available as optional extras.
What productions is the 1200D Pro best suited for? We've supplied the 1200D Pro for fashion shoots, high-end commercials, music videos, and narrative productions where maximum light output is essential. It's ideal for large spaces, outdoor night shoots, situations where you need to match or overpower daylight, or when using heavy diffusion that would dim lesser lights. The combination of power and Bowens mount compatibility makes it suitable for any production requiring serious professional lighting.
Is this light suitable for smaller studios or productions? While the 1200D Pro can certainly be used in smaller spaces, it's often more power than necessary for intimate setups where the 600D Pro or smaller fixtures would be more appropriate and easier to control. The 1200D really shines when you need to fill large spaces, work outdoors, or create specific high-output effects. Consider your actual lighting needs when deciding between fixtures.
How far in advance should I book? The LS 1200D Pro is popular for high-end productions and fashion work, so we recommend booking as early as possible, especially if you need specific modifiers or multiple units. Request a quote with your dates and requirements, and we'll confirm availability and provide pricing.
