BLAIR-CG: Colors Never Before Seen on an LED

The STORM 80c’s new BLAIR-CG light engine is the best tunable color light ever produced in an LED, delivering the greatest range and highest color accuracy. It can reach 90% of Rec2020 color space, achieving saturated colors in shades otherwise unobtainable, such as accurate yellow. The calibrated indigo emitter enhances fluorescing materials, resulting in white light that better matches natural daylight and tungsten. CRI 97+, SSI [P3200]): 88, SSI (CIE D5600): 84.

1,800-20,000K CCT and Full +/- Green Adjustability

The STORM 80c offers a best-in-class CCT range, the smallest, most portable light to do so. The color flexibility also offers 100% +/- green control, the full ASC MITC range of adjustment.

x

Small Size, Unlimited Possibilities

The STORM 80c features a compact design and removable yoke to stash wherever you need. Without the yoke the light measures just 6”x4”x4’ and 1kg. The yoke attachment points are 3/8in threaded sockets, so common grip mounts can be used to rig the light wherever you need. An optional handgrip with battery mount is also available.

x

Mini ProLock Bowens Mount

The STORM 80c features a mini version of the ProLock locking Bowens Mount, a more secure clamping design for attaching modifiers. Aputure offers modifiers with the Mini ProLock and an adapter to standard Bowens Mount.

x

Battery Options Small and Large

The STORM 80c can be powered from AC, V-mount batteries, or USB-C. Aputure makes an optional STORM 80c Handheld Bracket, with a V-mount battery plate and D-Tap cable. The STORM 80c also features a 100W USB-C port to power directly from inexpensive and lightweight power banks.

x

Multiple Control Options

The STORM 80c features professional connectivity options used in modern lighting: Sidus Mesh, CRMX, and DMX.

x

IP65 Weather Protection

Head-to-toe IP65 dust and weather protection means the STORM 80c can work in extreme environments. Seals on every connector and around components allow the light to be used outside in the rain.
