Welcome to STORM: a new generation of lights that achieves highly tunable lighting at levels unseen in the industry. The STORM 1200x is our introduction to a quality and range of white light that is not only brighter than current standards but more efficient, powered by a first-of-its-kind lighting engine,” said Ted Sim, Aputure co-founder and President. “The BLAIR light engine produces excellent, rich white light, and includes our Indigo emitter to output near-ultraviolet light like real daylight. The best rental deal for Aputure light in Thailand. Clothes, skin and other natural surfaces react to this light in ways that traditional LED lights cannot replicate. Using a new high-efficiency mix of five colored emitters, the STORM 1200x maintains its output across its color temperature range while matching natural light better than any LED before it.
Aputure STORM 1200x Bi-Color LED Monolight is compatible with the Aputure asessories from Light Storm line and available for rent in Thailand for your video production.

Pioneering a new approach to conventional bi-color lighting, Aputure‘s latest point-source workhorse, the STORM 1200x Bi-Color LED Monolight, matches a powerful and innovative full-spectrum chipset with advanced dimming technology, professional color accuracy, a widely adaptable Bowens mount, and a robust, IP65-rated construction for high-end set work under any circumstance.
In its new STORM family of LED monolights, of which the 1200x is the first, Aputure is debuting its breakthrough BLAIR chipset that features blue, lime, amber, indigo, and red LEDs to deliver higher brightness levels and color accuracy levels. Rated 95 for both CRI and TLCI standards, the light also scores an 87 SSI rating at 3200 and 5600K color temperatures, and the multicolor diodes improve the light’s color-matching abilities. The full CCT range of 2500 to 10,000K is enhanced with green-magenta color correction for advanced white-point control, and the unit’s daylight 5600K output reaches 202,500 lux at 3.3′ when used with the included 45° reflector.
The STORM 1200x comes with a controller that enables advanced dimming, control, and functionality. Stepless dimming is available from .1 to 100%, and flicker-free, color-accurate operation is possible even at the light’s lowest output. Wired and wireless options offer users a variety of control protocols, including DMX, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net, and sACN Ethernet, and app control via Bluetooth and the Sidus Link and Sidus Link Pro apps to integrate the light into professional lighting workflows.
The light’s rugged construction is IP65 rated for dust and weather resistance, making it suitable for use in even the most demanding environments. The light features a Bowens S mount, allowing the STORM 1200x the broad suite of Bowens-compatible modifiers with easy coupling and secure locking.
Build quality is just as important as light quality, at least in some use cases for video production in Thailand. The Aputure STORM 1200x seems to be ready for whatever you can throw at it (OK, maybe don’t try to prove us wrong with a sledgehammer). Both the light body and the ballast are IP65-rated, so will withstand a fair amount of rain and dust.
