The lightstorm 120d is the best all-purpose production light I’ve use. It outputs a lot of light. And the Bowen’s Mount makes it highly adaptable. I’ve used it for location interviews, studio food shoots, and narrative work. Solid workhorse light for most video production work.

This is an awesome light. I just with it was a little brighter. The first modifier is kind of funky. It’s just a piece of cloth on a string.

Great light, great case, great price! I would recommend this product for run and gun shooters, youtubers and indie film makers.

Most of the reviews of this light are from video shooters. I am a photographer who is changing from flash moonlights to led lighting and found that the 120d meet all my expectations. After buying one and testing it I bought two more. The only problem I have is that nobody, not even Aputure, gives a recommendation for what V mount battery is the best for the product at a reasonable price. .

LED's seem to be where the future of lighting is headed. There's a tremendous amount of light output from this light, without the heat. It's easy to setup and breakdown. And there's a lot of Bowens mount light modifying accessories that can be added to the light. Aputure makes quality products and their customer service is top notch.

I love this light, it has easily become my go to workhorse for small set interviews. It delivers clean powerful light in a quiet, cool (temperature), small lightweight package.

I love this light. I work on hundreds of videos per year, and use everything from old Arri Fresnels to HMIs but have gotten into LEDs lately. This is one of the best par type lights I've used. Its very lightweight yet sturdily built and works off Vmounts for a couple of hours.

A COB for Light Storm
The Light Storm COB120 is the first Chip-On-Board design of the Aputure Light Storm series.
Immaculate Lighting
The COB120 features a CRI of 96+. For an even more precise measurement, its TLCI is also rated at 96+ as well. TLCI, Television Lighting Consistency Index, is the most professional measurement of color fidelity. It reveals how well a light source renders colors for film or photography context.
Auto/Force Mode Smart Temperature Control
The COB120 has a remarkably intelligent temperature control system. The fans rotation will be varied based on its measurement of the corresponding ambient temperature. Furthermore, the fans will go to maximum rotation speed when you press the Auto/Force button. This complex fan system is perfect for improving both your fixture's dissipation efficiency and its light lifespan in complex shooting environments.
Amazingly Quiet
Most lights utilizing a fan system are too loud and not suitable for film or video production. However the COB120 with its built-in electric fan produces only 18dB noise. That means you will virtually never hear the noise, even if your led is being used at maximum brightness output over long periods of time.
Professional Accessory Mount
The COB120 uses the popular industry Bowen-S mount, which is incredibly flexible for mounting any accessory. Through its compatibility with both third-party accessories and Aputure's light-shaping tools such as the Aputure Light Dome Parabolic Soft Box, Light Umbrella and Fresnel Mount, the COB120's versatility allows it to achieve any desired lighting effect.
Portable and Lightweight
These are two characteristics that many photographers and filmmakers can appreciate in equipment that gets often used. The COB120 has a weight of 1.6kg, which is less the weight of a 13-inch Macbook Pro.
Separated Light Control Operation
The COB120 has a unique design that separates the light from its controls. This allows people to control illumination on the COB120's controller box no matter where it is mounted and greatly reduces the traditionally top-heavy weight of mounted fixtures.
Note: The controller box of the LS 120t and LS 120d are not interchangeable.
Ingenious Design
Featuring an aircraft grade-aluminum body, the LS C120 is remarkably tough and durable. It undertakes more than 100 fabrication procedures such as extrusion, cutting, trim, sandblasting, oxidation and laser engraving. The delicate design and elaborate production makes the COB120 both sleek in design and robust.
Efficient Battery Power Solutions
The COB120 is able to meet any of your various shooting requirements by offering power in two of the most popular professional battery mounts: batteries of either the SONY V mount or Anton Bauer mount can be used depending on which model you choose.
100m Wireless Remote Control
Using 2.4G FSK technologies, the COB120 can be adjusted in brightness wirelessly using a remote, even 100m away.
Assisted Handgrip
The COB120 includes the practical engineering principle of including a built-in handle grip. This simple, yet effective design makes it easier to transport and adjust your light's direction.
Kit Version
Choose the Kit Version of the COB120 to also receive an Aputure-designed soft case, which is fitted perfectly for your light and its safe travel.
