Portable Color-Tunable Fixture
Adding a go-anywhere option to Aputure's line of BLAIR-CG LED chipset lights, the STORM 80c BLAIR LED Monolight is a compact point-source fixture offering a tunable palette with extremely high color accuracy. It pairs a powerful and innovative full-spectrum chipset with advanced white-point control, professional color accuracy, a secure Mini ProLock Bowens accessory mount, and sealed-seam IP65-rated construction for working in extreme conditions. The STORM 80c comes with a 35° hyper reflector, diffuser, soft case, mount cover, and power adapter with a cable.
BLAIR-CG Light Engine
- The STORM 80c's BLAIR chipset features blue, lime, amber, indigo, and red LEDs to deliver higher brightness levels and color accuracy levels.
- Rated 97 for CRI and 99 for TLCI standards, this light also scores an 88 SSI rating at 3200 and 84 at 5600K color temperatures.
- Richly saturated colors, including accurate yellow, are possible using 90% of the Rec2020 color space.
- A calibrated indigo emitter produces white light that more closely matches daylight and tungsten light.
Dimming and Connectivity
- Offers four dimming curves: linear, exponential, logarithmic, and S-shaped.
- Wired and wireless options offer users a variety of control protocols, including 3-pin DMX and LumenRadio CRMX.
- App control via Bluetooth and the Sidus Link and Sidus Link Pro apps enables you to integrate the light into professional lighting workflows.
1800 to 20,000K Color Temperature
- The STORM 80c produces an impressive CCT range of 1800 to 20,000K.
