A solo filmmaker&#8217;s dream. Here&#8217;s an in-depth review of the Aptolux MP-1. Specs included.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I reviewed the original Aputure Lightstorm way back in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=44yoHiHaitE&amp;ab_channel=UglyMcGregor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">2015<\/a>, my inbox has never had a week where I haven&#8217;t received a review request. The crazy thing is, it&#8217;s often a product that isn&#8217;t related to filmmaking in the slightest, such as knock-off Italian watches, pressure cookers, and even coat hangers (?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, every so often, I have a manufacturer reach out that offers an incredibly unique product and, most recently, that was Aptolux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Latvian company has developed a modular LED light panel kit, and its portability is something to be praised. They&#8217;ve created a kit that can easily fit into a lunchbox, but when combined, it has a 12,000 lx rating at 1m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L8m4WEnu0Z8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><br>Visual information for a lot of businesses nowadays is everything.

They can be combined together in different shapes and forms, entirely dependent on the filmmaker, the situation, and premises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, they don&#8217;t have to be connected. You can individually place lights around the room, provided they&#8217;re powered by either battery or AC adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most notable factor is the light&#8217;s portability. At 27&#215;9.5 cm, you can fit the entire selection of lights into a lunchbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg\" alt=\"Aptolux Light\" class=\"wp-image-161696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aptolux.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Impressively, you can fit the entire selection of lights into a lunchbox.

And, while each panel has a battery slot, you don&#8217;t need to add a battery to every individual panel.
