STORM 1200x

1,200W tunable white high fidelity point source lamp with ProLock Bowens Mount

Enrich your subject with this 1,200W lamp featuring the BLAIR light engine for breakthrough color accuracy.

Next generation light

The STORM 1200x’s new BLAIR (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) light engine delivers higher quality white light than any previous LED system, with CRI 95+ and SSI 87. The BLAIR chipset enhances the colors of naturally fluorescing materials, resulting in an image that more accurately matches real daylight and tungsten sources.

Next generation range

The BLAIR chipset gives STORM 1200x best-in-class CCT range from 2,500K-10,000K, full +/- green adjustment, and extreme low-end dimming to just 0.1%. STORM 1200x is color-accurate and flicker-free from candlelight to daylight.

ProLock Bowens Mount

The ProLock Bowens locking mount holds modifiers and optics rigidly in place. On STORM lamps, even the heaviest modifiers stay secure and properly aligned.

Introducing BLAIR

The STORM 1200x utilizes a new BLAIR five-color (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) light engine to better fill out the color spectrum while offering greater adjustability.

Storm 1200x

Experience Full Spectrum

The calibrated indigo enhances fluorescing materials, resulting in a higher quality white light that better matches natural daylight and Blackbody sources such as tungsten quartz, CRI 95+, SSI [P3200]): 87, SSI (CIE D5600): 87.

Storm 1200x

See the Difference

We compared the color response for natural daylight, a traditional bi-color LED, and the STORM 1200x together and found huge, but subtle differences in the objects that fluoresce.

Storm 1200x

Best Color Adjustability

The BLAIR light engine enables the STORM 1200x to offer a greater range of CCT than traditional bi-colors and is the first light of its kind to offer 100% +/- green control, the full ASC MITC range of adjustment.

Storm 1200x

Introducing xy Control

The STORM 1200x has so much color range Aputure has even added an x,y coordinate mode for greater precision control.

Storm 1200x

Precision Low-End Dimming

Bit-depth control is increased for improved low-end dimming. This enables the STORM 1200x to use PWM dimming all the way down to 0.1% without shifts or dropoff. Color accuracy is maintained throughout the brightness range, even at extreme low brightness levels.

Storm 1200x

ProLock Locking Bowens Mount

The STORM lights feature the ProLock Locking Bowens Mount, a more secure clamping design for attaching modifiers. Bowens accessories are held rigidly in place and precision optics such as fresnels and spotlight projectors are precisely aligned with the light engine.

Storm 1200x

IP65 Weather Protection

Head-to-toe IP65 dust and weather protection means the STORM 1200x can work in extreme environments. Seals on every connector and around components allow not only the lamphead but also the control box and cabling to be used outside in the rain.

Storm 1200x

Every Control Option Out There

The STORM 1200x features all of the professional connectivity options used in modern lighting: CRMX, DMX512 in and out, sACN and Art-Net over etherCON, and Sidus Mesh.
