This is a solid super versatile addition to my studios aputure collection. Very happy with the easy to use interface and durability.

Find the ultimate lighting solution with the Aputure STORM 1000c 1000W BLAIR-CG LED Video Light, the newest innovation in the STORM series of high-performance point-source fixtures. This 1000W color-tunable LED light is equipped with the groundbreaking BLAIR-CG LED chipset and a robust ProLock mount, offering unmatched color accuracy, advanced white-point control, and secure modifier mounting for professional applications. Whether you're working on a high-end film set or a small-crew video production, the STORM 1000c delivers the power and precision you need.

Harness the exceptional brightness and vibrant color mixing capabilities of the proprietary BLAIR-CG chipset, which utilizes diodes in Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red, Cyan, and Green. This advanced technology enhances light quality, providing a broader spectrum of saturated colors and maximizing each diode's output. With an impressive 14,200 lux @3m (5600K) using the included 45 Degree hyper reflector, the STORM 1000c ensures maximum output while maintaining ultra-high color accuracy.

Adapt to any shooting environment with a CCT range from 1,800K to 20,000K, seamlessly transitioning from candlelight to daylight scenes. The advanced white-point control with green-magenta color correction (+/-G 100% Full ASC MITC range) guarantees white-point accuracy in any lighting condition. Filmmakers will appreciate the 90%+ Rec. 2020 gamut coverage, providing access to an expansive color palette to meet creative demands precisely.

Experience smooth, flicker-free performance with 0.1-100% stepless dimming, even at minimal output levels of 24 lux @3m (5600K). Choose between Max and Constant output modes to suit different production needs without compromising color accuracy. The newly developed ProLock locking accessory mount ensures modifiers remain securely attached and optically aligned, optimizing the performance of optical modifiers like projector lenses and fresnels.

Integrate the STORM 1000c effortlessly into any professional lighting workflow with multiple control options, including Sidus Link, Sidus Link Pro, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-net, sACN via etherCON, and 16-bit DMX512 compatibility. Designed for versatility, this fixture is IP65 weather-resistant, ready to tackle any challenge, whether shooting indoors or in extreme weather conditions. Four fan modes (Smart, High, Medium, Silent) allow operators to tailor cooling performance to suit various environments without affecting noise levels on set.

The Aputure STORM 1000c redefines the boundaries of color, power, and precision, making it an essential tool for cinematographers, lighting technicians, videographers, and photographers. Cinematographers will benefit from unparalleled control over lighting conditions, with precise brightness adjustments and flicker-free performance. Lighting technicians will appreciate its seamless integration into complex lighting networks, enhancing workflow efficiency. Videographers will enjoy the high output-to-power draw ratio, comparable to an 800W HMI, and the flexibility of the ProLock mount for quick lighting adjustments. Photographers will find the STORM 1000c indispensable for high-output, professional-grade lighting across various photographic applications.

Elevate your craft with the Aputure STORM 1000c, a breakthrough color-tunable fixture designed to deliver exceptional results in every production or photo shoot.
