Aputure released its new flagship in their line of STORM lights and the brightest tunable white point source LED in the industry at NAB this past week: the STORM XT52. More powerful than a 6K HMI while weighing just 27.7kg. Aputure STORM is the future of point source lighting. Thanks to the breakthrough BLAIR and BLAIR-CG light engines, these lights output higher quality tunable white light and tunable color light than any previous LED system. With STORM, you can trust that what you see matches what the camera captures. It’s time for a new generation of lights. Welcome to STORM. There is not other light with anywhere near the brightness of the STORM XT52 and such impressive color capabilities.
BLAIR: Beyond Bi-Color. It features the revolutionary BLAIR light engine which allows the STORM XT52 to not only deliver a wide range of excellent white light, but also become the brightest light in the world to offer color adjustability.
The STORM X-series BLAIR light engine (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) delivers higher quality tunable white light than any previous LED system. The BLAIR chipset enhances the colors of naturally fluorescing materials, resulting in an image that more accurately matches real daylight and tungsten sources.
The BLAIR light engine offers excellent tunable white light with high output. The BLAIR-CG light engine offers advanced tunable color, with an expansive spectrum performance and a host of color controls. Both the STORM 1000c and STORM 1200x are brighter than the LS 1200d Pro (5600K at 3 meters = 13,010 lux).
BLAIR-CG: Color Confident. The STORM C-series expands upon BLAIR with the BLAIR-CG light engine (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red/Cyan/Green), which emits higher quality tunable color light than any previous LED system.
Next Generation Range. The BLAIR and BLAIR-CG chipsets give STORM best-in-class color range, full +/- green adjustment, and extreme low-end dimming. STORM is color-accurate and flicker-free from candlelight to daylight.
ProLock Bowens Mount. The ProLock Bowens Mount holds modifiers and optics rigidly in place. The STORM XT52 uses the Aputure Mount which incorporates electrical contacts for communication and power between the modifier and the light. On STORM lamps, even the heaviest modifiers stay secure and properly aligned.
The BLAIR light engine (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) in the STORM XT52outputs Tunable White light from 2500° - 10,000° CCT and features Full +/- Green tint control. In Limited HSIC+ and xy modes, saturated colors covering more than 70% of the Rec2020 color space can be achieved.
STORM XT52: 5,200W tunable white high intensity point source lamp. $13,100. Overpower daylight with the most powerful point source LED fixture in the industry, with both tunable white and color capabilities. STORM 1200x: 1,200W tunable white high fidelity point source lamp with ProLock Bowens Mount. $2,990. STORM 1000c: 1,000W tunable color point source lamp with ProLock Bowens Mount. $3,990.
