About the Aputure Storm 1000c – UK
Introducing the Aputure STORM 1000c, the latest addition to the STORM family of high-performance point-source fixtures. As a 1000W colour-tunable point source fixture featuring our revolutionary BLAIR-CG LED chipset and ProLock mount, the STORM 1000c offers unparalleled colour accuracy, advanced white-point control, and secure modifier mounting. Whether on a high-end film set or a small-crew video production, this versatile fixture delivers the power and precision required for any professional application.

With its proprietary BLAIR-CG chipset, the STORM 1000c achieves exceptional brightness and vibrant colour mixing. Offering 14,200 lux @3m (5600K) with the included 45º hyper reflector, it ensures maximum output while maintaining ultra-high colour accuracy. The advanced chipset utilizes diodes in Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red, Cyan, and Green to enhance the light quality, providing a wider range of saturated colours and more effective utilization of each diode’s output.

With a CCT range from 1,800K to 20,000K, the STORM 1000c adapts seamlessly to any shooting environment, from candlelight to daylight scenes. The advanced white-point control with green-magenta colour correction (±G 100% Full ASC MITC range) ensures white-point accuracy across any lighting condition. Its 90%+ Rec. 2020 gamut coverage gives filmmakers access to an expansive colour palette to match creative demands precisely.

The STORM 1000c is equipped with smooth 0.1-100% stepless dimming, delivering flicker-free performance even at minimal output levels of 24 lux @3m (5600K). Users can select between Max and Constant output modes, adapting to different production needs without compromising colour accuracy.

A newly developed ProLock locking accessory mount ensures modifiers stay securely attached and optically aligned, reducing the need for adjustments and optimizing the performance of optical modifiers like projector lenses and fresnels.

With multiple control options, including Sidus Link®, Sidus Link Pro, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-net, sACN via etherCON, and 16-bit DMX512 compatibility, the STORM 1000c integrates effortlessly into any professional lighting workflow.

With IP65 weather resistance, the STORM 1000c is ready for 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: Redefining the boundaries of colour, power, and precision. Whether capturing the finest details on set or lighting dynamic scenes on location, the STORM 1000c ensures exceptional results every time.

BLAIR-CG: Colours Never Before Seen on an LED

The STORM 1000c’s new BLAIR-CG light engine is the best tuneable colour light ever produced in an LED, delivering the greatest range and highest colour accuracy. It can reach 90% of Rec2020 colour space, achieving saturated colours in shades otherwise unobtainable such as accurate yellow. The calibrated indigo emitter enhances fluorescing materials, resulting in white light that better matches natural daylight and tungsten. CRI 97+, SSI [P3200]): 88, SSI (CIE D5600): 86.

1,800-20,000K CCT and Full +/- Green Adjustability

The STORM 1000c offers a best-in-class CCT range. The colour flexibility also offers 100% +/- green control, the full ASC

ProLock Locking Bowens Mount

The STORM lights feature the ProLock Locking Bowens Mount, a more secure clamping design for attaching modifiers. Bowens accessories are held rigidly in place and precision optics such as fresnels and spotlight projectors are precisely aligned with the light engine.

Every Control Option Out There

The STORM 1000c features all of the professional connectivity options used in modern lighting: Sidus Mesh, CRMX, DMX, sACN, and Art-Net.

IP65 Weather Protection

Head-to-toe IP65 dust and weather protection means the STORM 1000c can work in extreme environments. Seals on every connector and around components allow not only the lamphead but also the control box and cabling to be used outside in the rain.
