Aputure STORM 400x - Powerful 400 W Tunable-White LED | Prosales Broadcast

Aputure STORM 400x – The Future of Film Lighting

The Aputure STORM 400x is here - a 400 W, tunable-white powerhouse built for filmmakers who demand precision, output, and reliability.
With its new BLAIR engine (Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red), the 400x delivers unmatched colour fidelity, IP65 protection, and smart connectivity that fits any professional workflow.

Power That Punches Above Its Weight

At 27 100 lux @ 1 m (5600 K) with its 35° reflector, the STORM 400x easily competes with much larger HMIs.
Its CCT range of 2 500 K to 10 000 K and full ±G (green/magenta) control let cinematographers match practicals or daylight perfectly - no gels needed.

The fixture runs on AC (100–240 V) or DC battery power, giving crews the freedom to light anywhere.

Colour Accuracy You Can Trust

Aputure’s BLAIR chipset sets a new benchmark in LED colour reproduction:

• CRI ≥ 95 / TLCI ≥ 95

• SSI (Tungsten) 87 / (D56) 85

• TM-30 Rf 95 / Rg 100

That means flawless skin tones, true whites, and consistent colour from light to light - ideal for commercials, TV, and narrative film work.

Built for Real-World Production

South African crews know how unpredictable a shoot day can be.
The STORM 400x is IP65-rated, so it handles rain, dust, and wind with ease.
Its ProLock Bowens mount ensures heavy modifiers stay secure - perfect for pairing with Light Domes or the new CF7 Fresnel kit, which boosts output to 236 700 lux @ 1 m (15°).

Silent, Smart, and Connected

The 400x offers four fan modes (Smart, High, Medium, Silent 0 dBA) for audio-sensitive sets and integrates seamlessly with modern control systems:

• DMX512 (16-bit, 5-pin in/out)

• LumenRadio CRMX wireless DMX

• Sidus Link / Sidus Link Pro App

• On-board control box with intuitive menu

Firmware updates via USB-A keep it future-ready.

Lighting Effects On-Set

Creative flexibility is built-in with nine FX modes:
Paparazzi, Fireworks, Bulb Flash, Cannon, Lightning, TV, Pulse, Flash, Explosion/Flame.
Each can be fine-tuned to suit the scene, giving DPs instant cinematic options without extra gear.

Why Filmmakers Are Switching to the 400x

It’s compact, colour-accurate, weather-proof, and whisper-quiet — all while packing enough punch to key daylight interiors or bounce a 12× frame.
For DPs, gaffers, and creators looking for a single light that covers nearly every scenario, the Aputure STORM 400x is the most versatile tool in the lineup.
