The new Storm 1200x is the first light in Aputure’s Storm family, based around a new BLAIR light engine (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red), which “produces outstandingfull white spectrum light”, with all emitters contributing across a wide CCT range (2500-10,000 Kelvin), with great fine-tune adjustability. Compared to traditional bi-colour technology it should offer brighter, better-quality white light.
Ted Sim, Aputure Co-Founder and President, said: “The Storm 1200x is our introduction to a quality and range of white light that is not only brighter than current standards but more efficient, powered by a first-of-its-kind lighting engine, [which] produces excellent, rich white light, and includes our Indigo emitter to output near-ultraviolet light like real daylight. Clothes, skin and other natural surfaces react to this light in ways that traditional LED lights cannot replicate. Using a new high-efficiency mix of five coloured emitters, the Storm 1200x maintains its output across its colour temperature range while matching natural light better than any LED before it.”
The 1200x includes a ProLock Locking Bowens mount, allowing it to become a Fresnel, soft light, projector, or hard open-face par. Its portable size, IP65 weather rating and CRMX / DMX / Bluetooth connectivity, mean it can be a “workhorse do-everything light” that is a similar brightness at 3200K as it is at 5600K.
