Aputure Storm 80c

Q: Can I use the Aputure STORM 80c as a white light source?

Yes. The Aputure STORM 80c is highly versatile and can be used as a powerful tunable white light source. It features an extensive 1,800K to 20,000K colour temperature range, allowing you to accurately match natural daylight, tungsten lighting, or create custom lighting looks. The fixture also offers ±100% green/magenta adjustment across the full ASC MITC range, making it ideal for professional film, broadcast, studio, and content creation environments where precise colour control is essential.

Q: What makes the Aputure BLAIR-CG light engine unique?

The Aputure BLAIR-CG light engine (Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red, Cyan, and Green) delivers one of the widest colour spectrums available in a professional LED lighting fixture. Designed for high-end film, television, broadcast, and content creation, it provides exceptional colour accuracy, richer colour reproduction, and enhanced creative control. For white light applications, BLAIR-CG offers an industry-leading 1,800K to 20,000K CCT range with ±100% green/magenta adjustment, covering the full ASC MITC range for precise colour matching. The advanced light engine can reproduce up to 90% of the Rec.2020 colour space, enabling highly saturated colours that are difficult to achieve with traditional LED fixtures. Its calibrated indigo emitter also improves the rendering of fluorescent materials and produces white light that more closely resembles natural daylight and tungsten sources, making it ideal for professional cinematography and broadcast production.

Q: How portable is the Aputure STORM 80c Light?

The Aputure STORM 80c is designed for creators who need professional lighting in a highly portable package. Measuring just 6" x 4" x 4" and weighing only 1kg, it's ideal for location shoots, travel productions, documentaries, interviews, and content creation. The removable yoke and four integrated 3/8" mounting points provide flexible rigging options, while the optional STORM 80c Handheld Bracket adds a comfortable grip, V-Mount battery plate, and D-Tap power support for mobile operation. The light can also be powered via USB-C, making it compatible with compact power banks and portable battery solutions. To maximise versatility, the STORM 80c uses Aputure's Mini ProLock mount, supporting a growing ecosystem of accessories, including the 35° Hyper Reflector, Mini Lantern, CF4 Fresnel, Light Dome 40, and Lantern 30. An optional Bowens mount adapter is also available, allowing compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard light modifiers.

Q: How can I power the Aputure STORM 80c light?

The Aputure STORM 80c offers multiple power options, making it an ideal LED light for both studio and location production. The fixture can be powered using the included AC power adapter for mains operation, or with a V-Mount battery when used alongside the optional STORM 80c Handheld Bracket, which includes a battery plate and D-Tap cable for mobile workflows. For even greater flexibility, the STORM 80c also features USB-C power input, allowing it to run from compatible high-output USB-C power banks and portable power solutions. To ensure full performance, the USB-C source must be capable of delivering 100W Power Delivery (PD). This versatile power system makes the STORM 80c an excellent choice for filmmakers, content creators, videographers, and photographers who need reliable lighting in both studio and on-location environments.

Aputure Storm 80c (6977162451138) is a compact yet powerful 80W full-colour LED point-source light featuring Aputure’s advanced BLAIR light engine, Mini ProLock Bowens mount, and exceptional colour accuracy, making it ideal for film, broadcast, video production, and professional photography.

With the new BLAIR-CG chipset, the STORM 80c delivers exceptional brightness and color accuracy. The added Cyan and Green diodes allows the STORM 80c to cover 90%+ of the Rec.2020 color gamut, giving users access to a far greater range of saturated colors compared to the BLAIR chipset. The STORM 80c offers 19,850 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 colors 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 color correction (±G 100% ASC MITC range), this fixture offers the versatility and
critical color accuracy that professionals call for on set.

Equipped with advanced dimming technology, the STORM 80c ensures flicker-free, color 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% step less 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, 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 Aputure 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.
