Amaran 100x vs 200x - Which Is the Right One For You!

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Which light would you choose between these two? Would love to know!

[@AndreaCichecki]

Thank you so much for this review, this was really helpful for me. I'll go for the 200x.🚀

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Glad to hear 😁

[@BetterCreating]

Hi dude - great video: super helpful info thanks :). Hope you don't mind this - just ignore me otherwise: One creator to creator feedback - I felt like the first 60 seconds could have been reduced to a 10-15 second intro and done the same job - you'll jump more satisfyingly into the actual value and keep more of us watching / up retention. Cheers!

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Thanks for the insight! I’ll keep it in mind next time! Definitely an older video of mine haha

[@BetterCreating]

​@@EasyTigerCreative ah, I feel you! - hehe. Thanks - investing in some new studio lighting gear and trying to weight up combinations of 200x S, 100xs and the F22c... so tricky re cost/versatility/quality...

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Totally haha finding the right combo is always tricky 😂 I’ve been fine with my 200x and 100x so I’m good for now haha

[@mattesmeurer1609]

Thanks for the review. I appreciate your work but I can't trust your first comparison at 2:46, as the image at 0% is brighter on the 100x side. I think either the camera is set on auto, the default light situation, white balance and/ or the camera settings are different. In your 2nd comparison 40%-80%100X ISO stays on 3200, the lights brightness increases but the image won't get brighter. Did you change the aputure, exposure time or what?

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Sadly at that time because of the room I was in the sun changed position and couldn’t fully notice until way after in post which I didn’t have time to redo and I preferred to just do as best as I could that time with what was available. If you have any questions or want some comparisons now, send me a DM on insta and I can help as much as I can! @ easytigercreative 😁 Thanks for watching!

@@EasyTigerCreative Hey, thank you very much for your quick answer! I saw some more reviews now, nevermind. Other stuff on your channel is looking great btw. Keep on rocking and have fun.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

@@mattesmeurer1609 appreciate you!

[@caizza3]

Yeah kinda useless

[@StringerBell]

I have no idea how this can be comparable. At 0% how's that the 200x is DARKER than 100x?! Obviously the setting on the camera are different and that makes the whole test 100% obsolete.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Not really. Just had a little light from the sun leak through due to the window despite trying to block it. Just simply working with what I’m able to. You’re welcome to do the video yourself and that way I can learn from you.

[@CarlAustinGregory]

I think it showed practically what someone would do with camera settings and how it would look if they had one versus the other. I use both for work. Both are great. The 200x is the key light, and the 100x has been used for fill or to light the background. These are great for photo and video because they’re so bright. I’ve used one of them as a “candle” using the Sidus link and the fire setting for a live performance behind a screen. Lots of cool stuff here.

[@dherveyphotography]

Would you suggest the 100x for lighting interviews? Key light?

[@EasyTigerCreative]

If your budget doesn’t allow the 200x that should be ok! I believe the 200x just has a better intensity specially for key lights since it has more wattage. But if you don’t have the budget the 100x should be fine! Just depends where you’ll be filming.

[@CarlAustinGregory]

Do what he did in the video and bump your settings to accommodate: aperture, shutter speed and ISO. To get a clean image, try setting your ISO at the native ISO and going from there. That way, you can exhaust your shutter speed/angle and aperture options and readjust ISO last to avoid digital noise.

[@SuperDraupnir]

I learned nothing from this video.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Sorry to hear but appreciate you watching regardless!

[@seanchen4439]

@@EasyTigerCreative I learned a lot from this video. I appreciate the comparison shot, which really give a clear difference to me. Thank you for the delicate work 🙏

[@EasyTigerCreative]

@@seanchen4439 appreciate you!

[@karlmaxweber]

According to this video, I couldn't see any notable difference between the two. I was about to get 200x but this video made me indecisive. I think you should include a video showing the light levels at exactly the same ISO and aperture settings.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

The 100x vs the 200x main difference is the intensity of wattage. So 20% at the 100x won’t be as intense as the 200x due to the difference in wattage if that makes sense? That’s why there was different iso changed to make the footage look the same. Hope that helps!

[@ygjoeytran]

thank you for this video! loved the side by side comparison and also your insightful comments.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Appreciate that a lot! Glad to hear it helped!!

[@ElectricEclectic]

Brighter lights mean you can get a sharper image with larger depth of field at a lower ISO. With that being said, what would be helpful to see would be the light meter readings at 100% brightness, at 4’ away.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

That would be a cool idea to test out! I’ll definitely work on that! Thank you for sharing.

[@TheMrJawdan]

I noticed a huge difference in the blacks of each video. Having to basically double your ISO to make the 100x look the same created way more noise in the image. $100 extra for the 200x to get smoother dark areas in the image is totally worth it. Awesome video.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Appreciate the comment! Definitely use my 200x way more and love it!

[@jeffmcc93]

Sorry but there wasn't any notable difference in power in the comparison you showed. Looks like others felt the same too.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Well if you didn’t see much of a notable difference then there ya go! Haha but yea I already told people who I talked to that the sun shun through the window as much as I tried to block it out. Wasn’t perfect but just wanted to publish it still to showcase what I could!

[@brunogunter9008]

Great content brother! Unfortunately this lights are very expensive here in Brazil, like 900 to 1300 dollars in direct conversion.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Oh man yea that’s tough then! I liked these lights because they’re way cheaper than their normal lights and can do a lot but if they’re that expensive after the conversion that makes it too expensive.

[@braigbrothers]

That really tough

[@CarlAustinGregory]

The cob 60x is cheaper and is brighter than the 100x it appears.

[@Naturalethics-NE]

Thanks for this!!!

[@EasyTigerCreative]

You’re welcome! Appreciate you watching!

[@Afrikadan]

What a great review ❤

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Glad it helped!

[@okanztrk]

Thank you very much for the video. I am trying to decide which one I should buy. For the video test, do you remember the aperture, ISO and the shutter speed ?

[@EasyTigerCreative]

I’m pretty sure it was about f2 or 2.8 at most! And it was for shutter 1/50 since I shot 24fps and iso was at 3200 I believe. Been a while since I made this video haha

[@okanztrk]

Thank you for your reply ! Still trying to decide 100 or 200 but probably I will go for 100 for the home studio 😇@@EasyTigerCreative

[@EasyTigerCreative]

@@okanztrk how i would view it is that if you want to have extra light power because you don’t use a lot of natural light or want to be able to do more just in case then the 200x will be better for that. Otherwise the 100x can do a lot still!

[@okanztrk]

many thanks for your comment ! I will buy one of them soon and will let you know the feedback 😇 Cheers !@@EasyTigerCreative

[@EasyTigerCreative]

@@okanztrk sounds great to me! 🤘

[@kevvy22]

Is the 200x a lot louder

[@EasyTigerCreative]

To be honest I’ve never even noticed the sound ever while using it.

[@ElliotFeld-v3e]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Glad to hear ❤️

[@ikeike98]

Nice review ! It helped me a lot, thank you !

[@EasyTigerCreative]

So glad to hear! 😁

[@edwinfndz]

Have you seen noise issues with the 200x? I wanted to get that one but the fan noise seems to be very loud and inconsistent.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

I haven’t had any issues with noise at all! I use it all the time and haven’t heard it honestly nor has my 100x honestly!
