Aputure STORM 80c BLAIR-CG LED Monolight: Cinematic Color & Precision Power for Dynamic Storytelling

The Aputure STORM 80c BLAIR-CG LED Monolight represents a new standard in compact, high-performance lighting, engineered for discerning filmmakers, videographers, and photographers who demand exceptional color accuracy and versatile control. This innovative monolight integrates Aputure’s cutting-edge full-color technology within a robust and portable design, making it an indispensable tool for crafting cinematic visuals and dynamic lighting scenarios in any production environment. The “BLAIR-CG” designation signifies a focus on advanced color grading capabilities and a refined cinematic output.

Advanced Full-Color RGBLAC Engine for Unrivaled Accuracy:

At the heart of the STORM 80c BLAIR-CG is Aputure’s sophisticated RGBLAC (Red, Green, Blue, Lime, Amber, Cyan) LED chipset. This advanced multi-color light engine provides an incredibly expansive color gamut, allowing you to achieve millions of precise colors. The inclusion of Lime, Amber, and Cyan LEDs significantly enhances color accuracy, particularly across the visible spectrum, and provides unparalleled control over skin tones and subtle color nuances that are critical for high-end cinematic production.

Wide CCT Range with Fine G/M Adjustment:

Beyond its vibrant full-color capabilities, the STORM 80c BLAIR-CG offers an extensive Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) range, typically spanning from 2,300K to 10,000K. This broad spectrum ensures seamless matching with any ambient light source – from warm candlelight to cool overcast skies – or precise artistic control over your white balance. Furthermore, dedicated Green/Magenta (G/M) adjustment empowers you to fine-tune color consistency and eliminate color shifts, ensuring perfect color rendering in every shot.

Exceptional Color Fidelity for Professional Results:

The STORM 80c BLAIR-CG is built with uncompromising color accuracy in mind. It boasts high CRI (Color Rendering Index) and TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) scores of 96+ (often higher), guaranteeing faithful color reproduction and natural-looking skin tones. This level of precision is paramount for professional workflows, minimizing post-production color correction and ensuring your visuals truly pop.

Precise Control via Multiple Platforms:

Designed for intuitive and comprehensive control, the STORM 80c BLAIR-CG offers a range of options to seamlessly integrate into your workflow:

• Onboard Interface: A clear, intuitive display and tactile controls allow for direct adjustment of CCT, HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity), and other parameters.
• Sidus Link App: Full wireless control via Bluetooth using the Sidus Link mobile app. This enables remote adjustment of all settings, precise color picking from images, custom FX creation, and group control across multiple Aputure lights.
• DMX512 / LumenRadio CRMX: For larger productions and professional lighting integration, the fixture supports DMX512 control, often with built-in LumenRadio CRMX for robust and reliable wireless DMX communication.

Compact Monolight Form Factor with Bowens Mount:

Despite its powerful output, the STORM 80c BLAIR-CG retains a compact and lightweight monolight design, making it highly versatile for various setups. It features the industry-standard Bowens mount, providing universal compatibility with a vast ecosystem of light modifiers from Aputure and other manufacturers. Easily attach softboxes, reflectors, snoots, and other accessories to precisely shape and control your light.

Whisper-Quiet Active Cooling System:

Built for audio-sensitive environments, the STORM 80c BLAIR-CG incorporates an advanced active cooling system that operates with whisper-quiet efficiency. The fan noise is virtually imperceptible in most recording scenarios, ensuring clean, undisturbed audio capture without compromising on performance during extended shooting sessions.

Built-in Cinematic FX:

Unleash your creativity with a wide array of built-in special lighting effects, including but not limited to Paparazzi, Fireworks, Faulty Bulb, Lightning, TV, Pulsing, Fire, Party Lights, Cop Car, and more. These customizable effects allow you to simulate dynamic scenarios and add compelling visual interest to your scenes directly from the fixture.

Flexible Power Options for Any Location:

The STORM 80c BLAIR-CG offers versatile power solutions to suit both studio and on-location demands. It can be powered by standard AC power for continuous, long-duration use. For true portability and freedom, it also supports powering via optional V-mount batteries (typically 1 or 2 batteries depending on total power draw) or 14.4V/26V batteries, making it an excellent choice for outdoor shoots or remote locations.
