Product Overview

Aputure Storm 80C Bi-Colour LED Light

Introducing the Aputure STORM 80c, Aputure's second light in our new STORM family and first to feature our new BLAIR-CG LED chipset. As an 80W colour-tunable point source fixture with a colour engine based on our breakthrough BLAIR chipset, a Mini ProLock locking Bowens mount, and compact profile, the STORM 80c is a feature-packed versatile fixture suitable for a tremendous range of professional imaging applications from high-end film productions to small-crew video or photo shoots.

With the new BLAIR-CG chipset, the STORM 80c delivers exceptional brightness and colour accuracy. The added Cyan and Green diodes allows the STORM 80c to cover 90%+ of the Rec.2020 colour gamut, giving users access to a far greater range of saturated colours compared to the BLAIR chipset.

The STORM 80c offers 20,185 lux @1m at 5,600K with its included hyper reflector while maintaining an SSI [P3200] of 88 and SSI [CIE D5600] of 84 at 3,200K and 5,600K respectively. The inclusion of an indigo diode in this chipset enhances the colours of fluorescing materials, resulting in an image that is lit more accurately to match natural daylight and tungsten sources.

Featuring a wide CCT range of 1,800K-20,000K and advanced white-point control with green-magenta colour correction (±G 100% ASC MITC range), this fixture offers the versatility and critical colour accuracy that professionals call for on set.

Equipped with advanced dimming technology, the STORM 80c ensures flicker-free, colour-accurate operation during shooting even at its lowest output level of <19.8lux @1m (5,600K). In addition, this dimming technology provides users with an unprecedented 0.1-100% stepless brightness control.

Armed with a newly designed Mini ProLock locking accessory mount, the STORM 80c can support compact modifiers designed specifically for the 80c or be adapted to a full-size Bowens mount while maintaining an easy coupling procedure that reduces the need to make rotational adjustments with accessories to achieve a secure, optically aligned lock.

Featuring comprehensive lighting control protocol options, including 16-bit DMX512, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-net & sACN Ethernet, and Sidus Link/Sidus Link Pro App control, the STORM 80c ensures seamless integration into professional lighting workflows at the lamp head and behind the console.

The STORM 80c ships with the new OSII operating system installed, which gives users a more seamless, quick, and intuitive user experience when operating the fixture.

With a rugged IP65 dust and weather resistant rating, the STORM 80c is capable of withstanding even the most demanding filming environments in inclement weather without any impact to performance or reliability.

The BLAIR-CG LED chipset in the Aputure Storm 80C significantly enhances both brightness and colour accuracy. With the added Cyan and Green diodes, it covers over 90% of the Rec.2020 colour gamut, allowing for a broader range of saturated colours. This improves the overall quality of your lighting, making it more suitable for high-end film productions and professional imaging applications.

How does the Aputure Storm 80C ensure flicker-free operation?

The Storm 80C is equipped with advanced dimming technology that guarantees flicker-free operation even at low output levels. This is particularly important for video production where consistent lighting is crucial. The dimming technology allows for seamless adjustments from 0.1% to 100% brightness without introducing flicker, ensuring that your footage maintains colour accuracy and visual integrity.

Can the Storm 80C be used in outdoor settings and adverse weather conditions?

Yes, the Aputure Storm 80C features an IP65 rating, indicating that it is dust and weather resistant. This makes it highly suitable for outdoor shoots, even in challenging weather conditions. The rugged design ensures that performance and reliability are not compromised by exposure to the elements.

What types of control options are available for the Storm 80C?

The Storm 80C offers a comprehensive range of lighting control protocols, including 16-bit DMX512, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-net, sACN Ethernet, and control via the Sidus Link or Sidus Link Pro app. This versatility allows for seamless integration into various professional lighting workflows, whether you are operating at the lamp head or managing lighting from a console.

How does the Mini ProLock mount enhance usability for modifiers?

The Mini ProLock mount offers a streamlined coupling procedure that reduces the need for rotational adjustments, allowing for a secure and optically aligned lock with compatible accessories. This design feature makes it easier to switch between compact modifiers designed specifically for the Storm 80C and full-size Bowens mounts, improving efficiency on set.

What is the significance of the wide CCT range available in the Storm 80C?

The Storm 80C boasts a wide CCT range of 1,800K to 20,000K, providing users with extensive options for colour temperature adjustments. This allows for precise control over the lighting environment, whether matching daylight or tungsten sources, and facilitates creative lighting setups that require specific colour renditions. The advanced white-point control with green-magenta correction further enhances its versatility.

What type of softening and diffusion options are compatible with the Storm 80C?

The Storm 80C is compatible with various modifiers including softboxes and diffusers designed for the Mini ProLock system. The included Mini Lantern Diffuser allows for soft, even light output, making it ideal for portrait photography and interviews. Users can also adapt full-size Bowens mount modifiers for broader lighting effects, offering flexibility for different shooting scenarios.
