Its IP54-rated design makes it durable for compact studios, podcast setups, music videos, and other production spaces.

Streamlined Power: One Cable
The amaran Ray 360c is designed for simplicity. Unlike other studio lights that require bulky power bricks or multiple cables, this light uses a single integrated power cable. This makes setup faster, reduces clutter, and keeps your studio or shooting space organized. You can move it around easily without worrying about tangled wires. For content creators, photographers, and videographers, this feature saves time and makes lighting less stressful.
360º Full Color OmniColor Light Engine
The amaran Ray 360c has a 360º full-color OmniColor light engine. This allows you to adjust RGB colors, HSI, and CCT, giving you a full range of lighting options. You can create warm indoor tones, natural daylight, or vibrant colored effects. The light produces accurate colors, making skin tones and objects look natural. With this engine, the Ray 360c can handle almost any lighting situation in a studio or on location.
Strong Light Output and Smooth Dimming
The Ray 360c delivers bright and steady light, strong enough for small to medium setups. Its smooth dimming control lets you adjust the brightness from 0% to 100% without flicker. This helps create the right light intensity for your scene, whether you need soft, gentle light or a brighter setup. The dimming is precise and easy to control, giving you consistent lighting every time.
IP54 Design & Low Fan Noise
Durability is a key advantage of the Ray 360c. It comes with an IP54-rated design, which protects against dust and light splashes. This makes it suitable for indoor studios, slightly humid environments, and controlled outdoor shoots. At the same time, the built-in cooling fan operates quietly, producing minimal noise (around 28 dBA). This ensures that audio recording and interviews are not disturbed while you maintain consistent lighting. Quiet operation is especially important for YouTube videos, product reviews, and professional video shoots.
Built-In Creative Effects
Built-in modes such as strobe, flicker, and color washes make the Ray 360c more than a traditional LED light. Creators can produce stylized visuals for music videos, short films, or creative photo shoots without additional equipment or software. The light functions as a versatile, creative tool rather than just a source of illumination.
Adaptive Control
The Ray 360c gives you multiple ways to adjust brightness, color temperature, and effects. You can use the dial on the light, or control it remotely with a smartphone app. Adaptive control makes it easy to fine-tune the lighting during a shoot without moving heavy equipment. You can quickly adjust for changing daylight, indoor lighting, or creative color effects.
Optional DMX via USB-C
For larger or more complex setups, the Ray 360c supports DMX control through a USB-C adapter. This allows you to integrate it with other DMX-compatible lights and control everything from a central console. Whether you are shooting short films, live events, or music videos, DMX connectivity gives professional-level control and precision. It ensures consistent lighting across multiple sources, making your workflow smoother and more reliable.
Wide Compatibility
The Ray 360c is designed to work with a wide range of accessories thanks to its Bowens mount. You can attach softboxes, reflectors, Fresnel lenses, and umbrellas to achieve soft, diffused light or focused, dramatic beams. It also pairs well with standard AC power systems globally. This versatile compatibility allows you to adapt the light to portraits, product photography, cinematic videos, or creative content without extra effort.
Price & Availability
The amaran Ray 360c has a retail price of about USD $429. The package includes the light head, a basic reflector, AC power cable, and a carrying case for transport. Depending on your location, local distributors or importers may be required, which can affect the total cost due to shipping or import fees.
