Aputure STORM XT52 without Flight Case (Bare Leads)

STORM XT52 Overview

The Aputure STORM XT52 is a groundbreaking high-intensity point source LED fixture designed to overpower daylight and deliver unparalleled performance in both tunable white light and color capabilities. With its revolutionary BLAIR (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) light engine, the STORM XT52 sets a new standard for brightness, color quality, and versatility in the lighting industry.

Key Features

• Unmatched Brightness: The STORM XT52 is the brightest point source LED fixture available, producing an impressive 41,900 Lux at 5 meters with a 35° reflector—brighter than a 6,000W HMI fixture.
• BLAIR Light Engine: The BLAIR chipset delivers the highest quality tunable white light with an extensive CCT range and +/- green adjustability. Its indigo emitters enhance fluorescing materials, replicating the effects of natural daylight and tungsten sources.
• Color Tuning Control: Capable of achieving over 70% of the Rec.2020 color gamut, the STORM XT52 supports advanced color control modes like Limited HSIC+ and x,y coordinates. This allows for rich, saturated colors such as deep crimson sunsets, sodium vapor ambers, and subtle effects without the need for gels.
• Compact and Portable Design: Despite its immense power, the STORM XT52 lamp head weighs just 27.7kg (61lb), making it easy for one person to handle and operate on a standard crank stand. The portable control box is briefcase-sized and weighs only 13kg (28lb).
• Extended Cable Reach: The 7.5-meter head cable can be extended up to 45 meters, allowing flexibility in placement. For example, the lamp head can be mounted in a cherry picker while the control box remains on the ground for convenience and weight savings.
• Generator Compatibility: The STORM XT52 operates at full brightness on standard 6,500W generators, ensuring reliable performance in remote locations or on set.
