Aputure STORM 1200x Overview

Pioneering a new approach to conventional white-point lighting, Aputure's latest point-source workhorse, the STORM 1200x Tunable White LED Monolight Lamp Head Only includes the STORM 1200x lamp head with no additional accessories. The STORM 1200x matches a powerful and innovative full-spectrum chipset with advanced dimming technology, professional color accuracy, a widely adaptable Bowens mount, and robust, IP65-rated construction for high-end set work under any circumstance.

Note: lamp head only version. Power/control accessories are not included.

The BLAIR Chip Project
In its new STORM family of LED monolights, of which the 1200x is the first, Aputure is debuting its breakthrough BLAIR chipset that features blue, lime, amber, indigo, and red LEDs to deliver higher brightness levels and color accuracy levels. Rated 95 for both CRI and TLCI standards, the light also scores an 87 SSI rating at 3200 and 5600K color temperatures, and the multicolor diodes improve the light's color-matching abilities. The full CCT range of 2500 to 10,000K is enhanced with green-magenta color correction for advanced white-point control, and the unit's daylight 5600K bare output reaches 76,410 lux at 3.3'.
Advanced Dimming and Connectivity
The STORM 1200x works with an optional controller that enables advanced dimming, control, and functionality. Stepless dimming is available from .1 to 100%, and flicker-free, color-accurate operation is possible even at the light's lowest output. Wired and wireless options offer users a variety of control protocols, including DMX, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net, and sACN Ethernet, and app control via Bluetooth and the Sidus Link and Sidus Link Pro apps to integrate the light into professional lighting workflows.

Note: Requires control box (not included).

Build and Performance
The light's rugged construction is IP65 rated for dust and weather resistance, making it suitable for use in even the most demanding environments. The light features a Bowens S-mount, allowing the STORM 1200x to have a broad suite of Bowens-compatible modifiers with easy coupling and secure locking.
