BLAIR: The Best Tunable White Light
The Aputure STORM XT52 utilizes the BLAIR (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) light engine, delivering the highest quality white light and greatest +/- green adjustability of any LED technology. The BLAIR light engine's indigo emitters enhance fluorescing materials like natural daylight and tungsten sources.
The STORM XT52's output is also the brightest of any LED point source fixture in the industry, 41,900 Lux at 5M with a 35° reflector. This exceeds the brightness of a 6,000W HMI fixture.
Color Tuning Control
The revolutionary BLAIR light engine can also output saturated colors across more than 70% of Rec.2020 color space using Limited HSIC+ and x,y control modes. Achieve deep crimson sunsets, rich sodium vapor ambers, and subtle color effects without gels.
STORM XT52 is more than twice as powerful as any other point source color light.
Smallest Size and Lowest Weight in Class
The STORM XT52 lamp head weighs 27.80kg (61.29lbs), and can be lifted by one person and operated on a standard crank stand. The portable XT52 control box is the size of a briefcase and weighs just 13.40kg (29.54lbs).
Extend Your Reach
Extend the 7.5M STORM XT52 head cable up to 45M. Place the lamp head in a cherry picker and leave the control box on the ground to save on weight and keep physical controls nearby. Power the STORM XT52 at full brightness on standard 6,500W generators.
Built Rugged and Easy to Service
The STORM XT52 is IP65 weather protected across the entire system, from control box to cables to lamphead and even modifiers.
Ruggedized construction makes the light built for the most challenging environments, and service is easy and fast with the modular internal design.
Runs Full Power Off of Popular Generators
The STORM XT52 is easy to use in any location. The fixture draws 5,200W at full power, meaning it can run on popular 6,500W generators.
If the head cables are extended to 45m, the power draw can rise to 6,000W, and there is a menu control to limit maximum power so that a generator or other power source will not be overtaxed.
High Power Light for High-Speed Photography'
The STORM XT52 offers flicker free output at 20% brightness or more at any recording frame rate. With the high output available from the light and the quality and versatility of the BLAIR light engine, the XT52 is ideal for all high frame rate work, from major action stunts to food product photography.

FAQ:
Why is it called STORM XT52?
This light uses the same BLAIR light engine technology found in our earlier STORM 1200x. The STORM lights are Aputure’s latest generation of point source lights, incorporating and expanding upon the earlier Light Storm and Electro Storm lines. All STORM lights use either the BLAIR tunable white or BLAIR-CG tunable color light engines. The alphanumeric convention XT52 connects to our next most powerful light, the Electro Storm XT26. The X is how Aputure refers to bi-color lights, such as the LS 600x Pro, with the letter signifying crossing from one CCT to another. The T refers to tint control, meaning +/- green adjustment. The 52 is in reference to the 5200W power consumption of the light when used with 220v power at full brightness with the standard 7.5M head cable.
