Why We Built It
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.
BLAIR: Beyond Bi-Color
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.
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.
