The Aputure Storm 1200x
1,200W tuneable 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 Aputure STORM 1200x utilizes the BLAIR (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) light engine, delivering the highest quality white light and greatest +/- green adjustability of any LED technology. The BLAIR light engine’s indigo emitters enhance fluorescing materials like natural daylight and tungsten sources.
Colour Tuning Control
The revolutionary BLAIR light engine can also output saturated colours across more than 70% of Rec.2020 color space using Limited HSIC+ and x,y control modes. Achieve deep crimson sunsets, rich sodium vapor ambers, and subtle color effects without gels.
ProLock Locking Bowens Mount
The ProLock Locking Bowens 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.

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.

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.

Best Colour 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
