Aputure Unveils STORM 1200x: The Ultimate Lighting Workhorse

Aputure has introduced the STORM 1200x, a revolutionary new light that sets a new standard in the film lighting industry. Powered by the innovative BLAIR light engine, the 1200x offers an unprecedented combination of high-quality white light, wide CCT range, full +/- Green control, and extreme color-accurate dimming.

Behind the Scenes

• The BLAIR light engine (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) produces outstanding full white spectrum light, with all emitters contributing across a wide CCT range (2500-10,000).

• The Indigo emitter outputs near-ultraviolet light, allowing clothes, skin, and other natural surfaces to react in ways that traditional LED lights cannot replicate.

• The STORM 1200x maintains its output across its color temperature range while matching natural light better than any LED before it.

• The ProLock Locking Bowens mount allows the 1200x to accept modifiers and become a fresnel, soft light, projector, or hard open-face par.

Last June, at the Cine Gear Expo, Aputure also debuted the 600c Pro II, an upgraded version of their popular workhorse light. Here's our scoop.

Final Take

The Aputure STORM 1200x represents a significant leap forward in lighting technology, offering filmmakers and lighting professionals unparalleled flexibility, quality, and performance in a portable, weather-resistant package.

With its innovative features and industry-leading specifications, the 1200x is poised to become a must-have tool for any serious lighting professional, setting a new benchmark for the future of film lighting.
