Expanding Aputure's innovative line of BLAIR-CG chipset lights, the STORM 1000c is a powerful 1,000W full-color LED monolight that sets a new benchmark for tunable color accuracy and rugged performance. Designed as a professional-grade point-source workhorse, it delivers exceptional brightness with uncompromising color precision, making it ideal for high-end cinematic productions and demanding on-set environments. The fixture comes complete with a 45° wide reflector, a weather-sealed control box, a rolling transport case, and all necessary head and power cables for immediate deployment.
At the heart of the STORM 1000c is Aputure’s next-generation BLAIR-CG light engine, an advanced RGBACL chipset utilizing blue, lime, amber, indigo, red, cyan, and green LEDs. This expanded spectral array produces richer, more accurate colors across a broader gamut, achieving coverage of more than 90% of the Rec.2020 color space. The calibrated indigo emitter boosts the fixture’s ability to render natural-looking white light, enhancing skin tones and fluorescent materials with exceptional fidelity. The STORM 1000c boasts CRI and TLCI ratings of 97, with SSI scores of 88 (3200K) and 86 (5600K), ensuring consistent, true-to-life rendering both on set and on camera.
With a wide CCT range of 1,800K to 20,000K and full ±green correction across the ASC MITC standard, the STORM 1000c gives lighting professionals full control over white point tuning and creative color decisions. Whether replicating warm candlelight or crisp blue daylight, the STORM 1000c handles complex lighting scenarios with precision and nuance. Its flicker-free performance and stepless dimming from 0.1% to 100% make it equally suited for delicate fill light or full-output punch.
To match the fixture’s cutting-edge light engine, Aputure provides a robust control interface with both wired and wireless options, supporting DMX, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net, sACN, and Aputure's own Sidus Link and Sidus Link Pro app ecosystem via Bluetooth and Ethernet. This ensures seamless integration into existing lighting workflows on set, whether used in studio environments or remote outdoor locations.
Durability is a core part of the STORM 1000c’s DNA. Its IP65-rated weather-resistant construction ensures reliable operation in challenging environments—rain, dust, and extreme conditions are no barrier. Seals protect not only the lamphead but also the control box and cables, enabling fully outdoor use with confidence.
Mounting is equally professional-grade, with the ProLock Bowens mount system ensuring a rigid and secure connection for accessories. This reinforced locking system allows the STORM 1000c to support even the heaviest modifiers, such as Fresnels and optical projectors, without sagging or misalignment, preserving optical precision.
The STORM 1000c represents a new era in high-output, color-accurate LED lighting. Its combination of unmatched color control, rugged build quality, advanced connectivity, and cinematic output makes it an essential tool for today’s most demanding filmmakers, gaffers, and lighting designers.
