The Aputure LS 1200d Pro is the ultimate daylight LED light designed to rival traditional studio fixtures in brightness, dimming capabilities, and remote control features. As the brightest Bowens mount fixture on the market, it suits both large-scale productions and smaller projects with ease. This flagship Light Storm product stands out in Aputure’s lineup, boasting a powerful 1200W daylight COB chipset that delivers an exceptional output of over 83,100 lux at 3 meters when paired with the Narrow Hyper Reflector. This performance places the LS 1200d Pro on par with industry-standard HMI lights, making it a professional-grade solution for filmmakers and lighting technicians.
Uniquely, the LS 1200d Pro is the first and only Bowens mount LED fixture to feature a 1200W COB, positioning it as the highest-output LED compatible with popular Bowens modifiers such as Aputure Light Dome softboxes and Lanterns, as well as third-party options from DoPchoice and Chimera Lighting. To provide versatile lighting options, the kit includes three different Hyper Reflectors—Narrow, Medium, and Wide—allowing users to tailor the beam angle and intensity to their specific shooting needs. Additionally, a Fresnel accessory offers further control with adjustable beam angles from 15° to 45°.
Built for professional use, the LS 1200d Pro incorporates an IP54-rated weather-resistant design that can withstand harsh environments. Its sealed internal components, waterproof fans, rubber port caps, and weatherproof connectors ensure reliable performance in challenging outdoor conditions. The fixture features stepless dimming down to 0.1%, enabling precise control over light intensity with linear, exponential, logarithmic, and S-curve dimming curves to fit any creative requirement.
Connectivity and control are also top-tier, designed with professional workflows in mind. The LS 1200d Pro supports sACN and Art-net protocols via a rugged etherCON connector, wireless LumenRadio CRMX, and 5-pin DMX512 In/Out ports. Its Sidus Link® app integration allows remote operation from smartphones or tablets, with mesh networking enabling control of multiple fixtures up to 400 meters away. The new control box features industry-standard connectors and ports arranged for flexible positioning and easy on-set setup, including dual 48V/15A 3-pin XLR DC inputs that allow battery operation at half or full power. This makes it possible to run the fixture on portable DC battery solutions or quiet generators, a significant advantage over traditional HMIs that often require noisier power sources.
Color quality is exceptional, with the LS 1200d Pro delivering a high CRI of 96+, TLCI of 98+, CQS of 95+, and an SSI (D56) of 73+, ensuring consistently accurate and natural-looking light for all types of filmmaking. The fixture also supports eight built-in lighting effects—including Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, Faulty Bulb, TV, Pulsing, Strobe, and Explosion—with potential for future expansion into the SidusPro FX ecosystem.
The LS 1200d Pro’s design includes a detailed, intuitive LCD interface that displays intensity, color information, and other key parameters clearly, allowing for easy on-the-fly adjustments. Its modular components, including the lamp head, control box, and reflectors, are housed in durable rolling cases with telescoping handles and wheels for effortless transport to and from set.
With a maximum power consumption of 1440W and an output of over 126,000 lumens, the LS 1200d Pro is a high-powered, versatile lighting solution capable of delivering professional-grade illumination in any environment. Its rugged build, advanced control options, and compatibility with industry-standard Bowens mount modifiers make it an essential tool for filmmakers and lighting professionals seeking unmatched brightness, precision, and flexibility in a daylight LED fixture.
