THANK YOU so much for reviewing both the pt2c and t2c. I have searched tirelessly for a review that compares these two lights because they are so incredibly different and everyone loves the pt lights but I just don't think they are as good!

Great breakdown as usual. The lack of a decent ip rating is the killer for me here in Ireland, since rain is our constant companion. Same drawback for the infinibars (especially for their price).

Have been using multiple of the T4c for almost a year. THEY. ARE. FANTASTIC. And they've revolutionized how we light. But I think you've missed the most important advantage of the separate battery T4c: It is a perfect lightsaber. :) Wonderful reviews, I love your content. Helps a lot. Greetings from the other side of the world.

Hi Andrew, thank you for the hard work you put into all of your videos and the value you have for all of your viewers. Especially I wanna thank you for finally taking a look at these two options from Amaran. Your opinion on any lighting equipment is always so important for me because you really test everything and speak openly about the slightest flaws. Unfortunately my experience with the T series was really bad because the battery grip mounting system is or was not that durable. Let me explain: I had to send one of my T2cs with a broken locking mechanism in for repair after I bought it in October 2022 and used it only a couple of times. After three months of contact with anon-reachable customer service here in Europe received actually a completely new one (after three months) and then I discovered in direct comparison to my second original and still functioning T2c that they have changed the mounting system a little bit and it felt a lot more durable with less wiggle and flex. In your video you clearly had the second and fixed implementation but I find it ridiculous that Aputure sends the flawed first version to their customers, then it breaks and then they have such a bad customer service that you wait months for the replacement even though they obviously know about the first gen issue. We all know that you have a good contact with Aputure and I would just like to know what their comment is on that this situation because I basicly felt scammed. Have you heard anything about this issue? Thank you so much once again!

Do the PT2c and PT4c have “studio mode” like some of the other Amaran an Aputure lights? I know it has a built-in battery but it’d be nice to be able to trigger it on and off when it receives power via USB-C for studio setups. Are you aware if this function is in there?

I got to use the T4c a few times on set. I feel like these fixtures could have been released under the Aputure line. I think I still prefer the design of the SGC tube lights over the Amaran ones though. And they both work with Sidus Link.

I have some lights with DMX over USB-C with a power pass through, and what I did to simplify cable clutter was get a 2 meter USB-C extension cable, that way rather then having 3 wires running to the light I just have one and I can keep the cable clutter away from where the light is.

I found that not all Amaran tube lights render the same color in HSI mode (tested several T2C and several T4C). I was a little bit disappointed, but still happy that this products now exist for this amount of money. Will the Infinibars hold the color accuracy within units?

11:46 I noticed that yours has what looks like a bolt that secures the locking mechanism of the battery on the tube side of the light. I have 4 4ft tubes and 2 2ft tubes. None of my tubes have that and I have always felt that that is a weak spot in the lights. Infact, some of mine wobble. Do all of your T4c lights have that bolt?
