Aputure has unveiled its new STORM CS32, which they claim is the brightest fully tunable color fixture in its point source line of LED lights.
The STORM CS32 features Aputure’s BLAIR-CG light engine, and it has an output that is claimed to rival a 4K HMI. It is also said to produce excellent saturated colors across the visible light spectrum, and exceptional tunable white light, all while maintaining a small size and weight for single-person operation.
“Our goal was the impossible light. Can we make a fixture with no compromises in light output and light quality yet still remain lightweight? With each new product our engineers push to cram in as much performance as possible while continuing to reduce size and slash weight. We made the light work under any available power. You can plug it into a household 120v socket and the STORM CS32 will automatically switch itself to the maximum that circuit can deliver. Switch cables for a higher powered circuit to deliver another 25% of light output that’s equivalent in brightness to a 4K HMI. The STORM CS32 features the latest iteration of our BLAIR-CG light engine, with Indigo and Extended Red emitters to cover a huge range of rich colors and more natural white light with proper skin tones. All that performance yet a person can carry the lamp head in one hand and the control box and cables in the other. High Output, Full Spectrum, Small Size. A triple treat.”
