Compete with daylight and create sunsets with this 3,200W point source fixture that matches the brightness of industry-standard 4,000W HMIs while also offering full color tunability.

BLAIR-CG With Extended Red: The Best Tunable White Light and the Best Tunable Color

The Aputure STORM CS32 utilizes the BLAIR-CG With Extended Red (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red/Cyan/Green) light engine, delivering the highest quality white light with exceptional SSI ratings, a CCT range from 1,800-20,000K with full 100% +/- Green adjustment, and an expansive tunable color range covering more than 90% of Rec. 2020. Indigo emitters activate the natural fluorescence of materials for a more accurate appearance, and Extended Red enhances skin tones while maintaining high output.

Brightest Light at Any Power

Wherever it is in use in the world, the STORM CS32 is the brightest tunable color point source light that can be powered on a household circuit. At a maximum 3200W power draw, it outputs white light as bright as a 4K HMI or 10K tungsten fresnel lamp. In 220V countries, the STORM CS32 can run at full power from a common 15amp household circuit. For North America, the STORM CS32 includes two power cables: a bare lead cable for wiring to professional power systems to run at full power in either 110V or 220V, and a power cable with a household “Edison” connector for use with 110V/20amp circuits. The CS32 Control Box recognizes this cable and limits its maximum power draw appropriately, up to 80% of the light’s full brightness.

Portable Yet Powerful

The STORM CS32 is small and lightweight enough for one person to use. The lamp head weighs 16.8kg and the control box just 10.8kg. The size is kept low as well, so even with the optional CF16 fresnel and skid, it can fit fully assembled onto lighting truck shelving or on a lighting head cart. The small cube-like lamp head dimensions also allow multiple STORM CS32 lights to be rigged closely together to create powerful arrays in a limited space.

Extend Your Reach

With additional cables, the 7.5m STORM CS32 head cable can be extended up to 45m. Place the lamp head in a cherry picker and leave the control box on the ground to save on weight and keep physical controls nearby.
