STORM 700x high-output fixture

The Aputure STORM 700x is a 700W BLAIR-engine point-source light with a 2,500 to 10,000K range, full green-magenta adjustment, IP65 protection, and ProLock Bowens mount. It fits film, commercial, interview, and studio crews that need more output than a 600W-class tunable-white fixture without moving to the size and 1,550W draw of STORM 1200x. In-stock orders placed before 2 PM Vancouver time ship the same business day.

Quick Answer

The Aputure STORM 700x is a 700W tunable-white point-source LED built on Aputure's BLAIR light engine, with 2,500K to 10,000K CCT and full ±green adjustment. It runs on 100V to 240V AC through a separate control box, weighs 5.15 kg with its yoke, and mounts on a baby or junior stand. It ships with a 35° Hyper Reflector and a locking ProLock Bowens mount.

Works With

  • Aputure CF10 Fresnel and Barn Doors Kit (15° to 40° beam)
  • Aputure 25° Reflector
  • STORM 700x Skid
  • Bowens-mount softboxes on Aputure's compatibility list, such as the Light Dome III
  • Sidus Bluetooth Mesh, CRMX and 5-pin DMX control

Not Recommended For

  • Battery-only shoots. Aputure lists AC power only, with a maximum draw of 880W.
  • Full-color effects work. Color output uses Limited HSIC+ and x,y modes covering more than 70% of Rec.2020, so it is a white-light fixture first.

Key Features

  • BLAIR light engine: 700W output with a 2,500 to 10,000K CCT range and ±G 100% adjustment.
  • Measured output: At 5600K and 3m, output is 6,370 lux bare, 18,670 lux with the 35° reflector, and 27,190 lux with the optional 25° reflector.
  • CF10 option: The CF10 Fresnel measures 56,200 lux at 15° spot and 11,900 lux at 40° flood at 5600K and 3m.
  • ProLock mount: The locking Bowens interface supports compatible high-output modifiers.
  • Stand choice: The yoke mounts to either a baby pin or junior receiver.
  • Weather protection: The lamp head and control system carry an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
  • Colour control: Limited HSIC+ and x,y modes cover more than 70% of Rec.2020 alongside tunable white.

FAQ

Should I choose STORM 700x or STORM 1200x?

Choose 700x when a 5.15kg lamp head, baby-or-junior mounting, and 880W maximum draw better fit the crew and location. Choose 1200x when the 8,490 lux bare output at 5600K and 3m, larger modifiers, and additional output headroom justify a 9.50kg head and 1,550W draw.

Can STORM 700x push through diffusion or a daylight window?

At 5600K and 3m it measures 6,370 lux bare, 18,670 lux with the included 35° reflector, and 56,200 lux with the CF10 at 15° spot. Whether that is enough depends on distance, diffusion loss, window size, and ambient daylight.

Can I use regular Bowens softboxes?

The ProLock Bowens mount accepts compatible Bowens modifiers, but the modifier must be rated for at least 700W and for the fixture's heat and weight. An internal diffusion baffle helps even the beam in softboxes.

How loud is STORM 700x for interview recording?

Aputure specifies 32 dBA in Smart, 31.8 dBA in Medium, 36.9 dBA in High, and 0 dBA in Silent mode at 1m. Choose the fan mode after checking fixture distance and microphone placement.
