amaran Ace 25X Overview
By Photo’s Luke Rollins
Bringing best-in-class brightness to on-the-go, camera-mounted light setups, the pink Ace 25x Bi-Color LED Light Panel from amaran is a versatile, creator-friendly light source that sets up quickly and travels light. When operating in Boost mode, the light’s 32W output notches 1636 lux at 3.3′ and 5600K, with approximately 50 minutes of runtime at this maximum setting. The light also clocks upwards of four hours and 40 minutes of runtime in its low-power Silent mode. The Ace 25x has a color temperature range of 2300-6500K and achieves a high color accuracy of 95 in both CRI and TLCI ratings.
The light’s internal, rechargeable battery recoups 90% of its charge in just 40 minutes with the included USB-C charging cable, achieving a full recharge in approximately 90 minutes. The included lock-to-cold shoe adapter makes the light easily mountable on any camera with a shoe mount, and a 1/4″-20 thread on the bottom of the fixture allows mounting on most light stands. The Ace 25x’s magnetic front accessory mount accepts modifiers like the included dome diffuser, while a back magnetic silicone pad allows the light to be mounted on any magnetic surface.
