Introducing the Aputure STORM 1000c, the latest addition to the STORM family of high-performance point-source fixtures. As a 1000W color-tunable point source fixture featuring our revolutionary BLAIR-CG LED chipset and ProLock mount, the STORM 1000c offers unparalleled color 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 color mixing. Offering 14,200 lux @3m (5600K) with the included 45º hyper reflector, it ensures maximum output while maintaining ultra-high color 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 colors 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 color 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 color 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 color 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 color, power, and precision. Whether capturing the finest details on set or lighting dynamic scenes on location, the STORM 1000c ensures exceptional results every time.
