**Amsterdam, Netherlands – September 5, 2024** – Aputure, the leading innovator in LED lighting for filmmakers, has announced the launch of the STORM 1200x, a groundbreaking new light that promises a brighter, higher-quality white light than ever before.

The STORM 1200x is the first in Aputure’s new STORM family, a next-generation line of lights that utilizes advanced technology to overcome the limitations of previous generations. At the heart of the 1200x is the BLAIR Light Engine, a revolutionary system featuring five color emitters (Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, and Red) that combine to create a full spectrum white light with unparalleled accuracy and adjustability.

“The STORM 1200x is not just brighter, it’s more efficient and provides a quality of white light that surpasses current standards,” said Ted Sim, Aputure co-founder and President. “The BLAIR light engine delivers rich, natural white light, including an Indigo emitter that produces near-ultraviolet light, mimicking the effects of real daylight. This results in a more accurate and lifelike representation of colors, especially on skin and fabrics.”

The STORM 1200x maintains its brightness across the entire color temperature range (2500-10,000K), a feat unheard of in previous bi-color LED lights. It also offers fine-tune adjustability of +/- Green, allowing filmmakers to achieve even more nuanced color control.

Beyond its exceptional lighting capabilities, the STORM 1200x is also incredibly versatile. Its ProLock Bowens mount allows for a wide range of modifiers, transforming it into a fresnel, soft light, projector, or hard open-face par. The 1200x is also compact, weather-resistant (IP65 rating), and features CRMX, DMX, and Bluetooth connectivity, making it ideal for any location and lighting scenario.

“The STORM 1200x is truly a game-changer for filmmakers,” added Sim. “Its combination of powerful performance, versatility, and user-friendliness makes it the ultimate workhorse light for any lighting professional.”

The STORM 1200x is on display at IBC 2024 in Hall 11 (11.B22).
