The Aputure Storm 1200x is a high-output, tunable white point source designed for rental use where color fidelity, punch, and flexible control are required. Engineered around Aputure's BLAIR (Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red) LED engine, the unit delivers expanded color tuning, strong fluorescent material response, and industry-leading green/magenta adjustment for fast on-set matching.

Key Features

• BLAIR light engine: Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red emitters for accurate white light and extended color gamut, plus improved rendering of fluorescing materials.
• Wide white point control: Continuous CCT range from 2,500K to 10,000K with precise ±green/magenta correction for matching practical lighting sources.
• High output: Daylight output comparable to a 1,800W HMI. Measured performance example, 22,500 lux at 3 m (5600K) with a 45° wide-angle reflector.
• Color accuracy: Ultra-high fidelity with CRI ≥95, TLCI ≥95, CQS ≥96 (CIE D5600), SSI ~87, TM-30 Rf average 95 and Rg average 100.
• Control and dimming: Smooth, stepless dimming from 0.1% to 100% and multiple color modes including HSIC+ and x,y for saturated color work across much of Rec.2020 space.
• Rugged mounting: ProLock locking Bowens mount secures modifiers and optics, keeping heavy attachments aligned during shooting.
• Weather resistance: IP65 rating for use in adverse conditions when required.

Use Cases

• Location and exterior shoots: High output and IP65 resistance make the 1200x suitable for daylight-balanced exterior setups that demand full-spectrum color fidelity.
• Studio key light: Tunable white point and fine green/magenta control simplify matching to existing fixtures and practical sources without excessive gel use.
• Creative color effects: The BLAIR engine can produce saturated hues and subtle color shifts, useful for cinematic looks, music videos, and product shoots where color control matters.
• High-accuracy color work: Commercial, fashion, and broadcast shoots that require consistent skin tones and faithful material rendering.
