Amaran 200XS Vs Nanlite FS-300B // Which is right for your photography?

** UPDATE**
The Amaran 200X is a 200W light, while the FS-300B is 300W. There’s no way the output of the 200X should be higher than the 300B. The difference is due to the reflector – the Amaran comes with a narrower degree reflector, which results in higher meter lux data. However, using the Amaran reflector can create a hotspot, whereas the nanlite light provides a more even spread as seen when shooting without any softboxes.

As you can imagine, not all lights are created the same. In this video, we check out the Amaran 200XS Vs Nanlite FS-300B to determine which is right for your photography?

While this is not an exhaustive list of tech specs - you can read those online - this is a little more practical in a hands-on see touch feel. The unit puts out great light, but is it worth the hefty price tag? Let's find out.
