Adding to this list of new lights is the Amaran mat lights which includes the F21C, F21X, F22C and the F22X. Mat lights have seen a tremendous increase in usage lately so it makes sense that Aputure has jumped into the game to give the field some healthy competition. For the purpose of this post, we would be looking at the Amaran F22C. The F22c RGBWW LED Mat is a powerful, versatile, and flexible LED mat that measures 2 x 2′. It offers outstanding light output and color rendering suitable for a variety of users, from filmmakers to videographers, content creators, and still photographers.

It has stellar CRI and TLCI scores of 95+ and 97+, and stepless dimming from 0 to 100%. An included folding X-frame stretches the mat to a rigid panel that can be attached directly to a C-stand grip head using the straight Baby Pin adapter, or onto any standard light stand with the included right angle Baby Pin and tilting stand mount. The included foldable softbox has two strengths of diffusion, and a fabric grid that uses an integrated hook-and-loop fabric to instantly turn this flexible mat into an ultra thin soft light that will add beautifully controlled soft light to a scene.
The control box is a multi-voltage AC power supply that features a V-mount battery plate for use with compatible 14.4V, 26V, or 28.8V batteries. Full output can be achieved when using the AC power supply, using batteries allows the F22c to be used at either half or full power, depending on battery strength.The free Sidus Link app makes it possible to utilize tools unique to the Aputure and amaran ecosystems, such as Source Match, Color Picker, and Custom FX. The F22c can also be controlled using DMX with a separately available USB-C to 5-Pin DMX512 in & out adapter cable, adding professional-level control to an individual unit or groups of lights.
