Aputure Storm 1200x Cine Kit: The Bi-Color HMI Replacement
The Aputure Storm 1200x Cine Kit redefines professional location lighting, establishing itself as the most powerful bi-color Bowens Mount fixture on the market. Delivering an immense 1200W of precision LED output, the LS 1200x is engineered to challenge and replace traditional 1.8kW HMI or large Tungsten sources while offering the instantaneous color flexibility of a bi-color fixture. This comprehensive Cine Kit includes the essential light shaping and support tools—the dedicated CF12 Fresnel, Barndoors, and Skid Support—making it ready for the most demanding feature film and broadcast applications right out of the box.
The New Standard in Bi-Color Output
The LS 1200x achieves its flagship status through sheer power and versatility. Its 1200W output produces a stunning level of illuminance, allowing you to light vast spaces, punch light through heavy diffusion, or shoot over long distances. Crucially, the fixture offers a vast bi-color CCT range, typically from 2700K to 6500K. This seamless adjustability allows gaffers to precisely match interior ambient light (warm tungsten) or exterior daylight (cool sun) instantly, eliminating the time and expense associated with gels. Even at extreme color temperatures, the fixture maintains professional-grade color accuracy with a high CRI and TLCI of 96+.
Comprehensive Cine Kit for Shaping Power
This kit provides the accessories necessary to leverage the 1200x’s immense output and shape it precisely:
- CF12 Fresnel: This is the dedicated, high-quality lens accessory for the 1200-series. The CF12 Fresnel dramatically increases the output intensity, allowing you to create an incredibly punchy, focusable beam (with spot/flood control) that easily rivals the power of a hard HMI source.
- Barndoors: The included barndoor attachment provides crucial, four-leaf light spill control, allowing you to flag and shape the beam’s edges with accuracy when using the fixture either bare or with the Fresnel.
- Skid Support: Given the size and complexity of the external control box (ballast), the heavy-duty Skid Support is vital. It ensures the control box is safely protected and properly positioned on the ground or set cart, maintaining stability and cable management during rugged location shoots.
Professional Control and Durability
Designed for integration into any professional set, the LS 1200x features multiple control methods, including intuitive on-board controls, DMX 512, Sidus Link App control, and built-in LumenRadio CRMX. The robust, multi-voltage control box includes advanced dimming curves and quiet fan modes to ensure the fixture operates effectively without generating sound contamination on set. Built with the durability required for outdoor environments, this system is the ultimate bi-color Bowens Mount powerhouse for cinematic production.
