Product Description

Introducing the Aputure STORM 1200x, Aputure’s first light in our new STORM family of cutting-edge workhorse point-source fixtures. As a 1,200W dual-color point source fixture featuring our breakthrough BLAIR LED chipset, a ProLock locking Bowens mount, and advanced dimming technology, the STORM 1200x is a feature-packed fixture suitable for a tremendous range of professional imaging applications from high-end film productions to small-crew video or photo shoots.

With our new breakthrough proprietary BLAIR chipset, the STORM 1200x delivers exceptional brightness and color accuracy. The STORM 1200x offers a hefty 24,000 lux @3m at 5,600K with its included hyper reflector while maintaining an SSI [P3200] of 87 and SSI [CIE D5600] of 87 at 3,200K and 5,600K respectively. The inclusion of an indigo diode in this chipset enhances the colors of fluorescing materials, resulting in an image that is lit more accurately to match natural daylight and tungsten sources.

Featuring a CCT range of 2,500K-10,000K and advanced white-point control with green-magenta color correction (±G 100% full ASC MITC range), this fixture offers the versatility and critical color accuracy that professionals call for on set.

Equipped with advanced dimming technology, the STORM 1200x ensures flicker-free, color-accurate operation during shooting even at its lowest output level of <50lux @1m (5,600K). In addition, this dimming technology provides users with an unprecedented 0.1-100% stepless brightness control. 

Armed with a newly designed ProLock locking Bowens mount, the STORM 1200x can support standard Bowens mount modifiers while maintaining an easy coupling procedure for heavier modifiers that reduces the need to make rotational adjustments with accessories to achieve a secure, optically aligned lock.

Featuring comprehensive lighting control protocol options, including 16-bit DMX512, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-net & sACN Ethernet, and Sidus Link/Sidus Link Pro® App control, the STORM 1200x ensures seamless integration into professional lighting workflows at the lamp head and behind the console.

With a rugged IP65 dust and weather resistant rating, the STORM 1200x is capable of withstanding even the most demanding filming environments in inclement weather without any impact to performance or reliability.
