The Aputure Electro Storm XT26 Lamp Head is the replacement light head for the Electro Storm XT26, Aputure's 2,600W tunable white point source fixture with a 2,700K to 6,500K range. It connects to the XT26 Control Box through one head cable that carries both power and data, so a damaged head can be swapped without replacing the control box and accessories.

FAQ

If only my XT26 head is damaged, can I replace the head and keep my control box?

Yes. Aputure sells the Electro Storm XT26 Lamp Head as its own replacement part. It plugs into your XT26 Control Box through the head cable, which carries both power and data to the head, and it takes the same Aputure Mount reflectors and F14 Fresnel.

Why might my XT26 measure well under its 3,500W rating at full output?

Aputure rates the XT26 at 3,500W maximum power consumption for 2,600W maximum output. The fixture has Constant Output and Max Output modes and several fan modes, and on the 15A indoor power cable the control box limits power on purpose, so the draw you measure depends on those settings.

How do reflectors and the F14 Fresnel lock onto the XT26 head, and can I add a safety chain?

Press the Mount Release Button, insert the accessory into the Aputure Mount and rotate it until it locks; reverse the steps to remove it. The head also has safety chain brackets for securing the fixture when it is rigged overhead.

How big and heavy is the XT26 head when I pack a cart or case?

Without its yoke the XT26 lamp head is 45.7 x 35.2 x 28.1 cm and 18 kg (39.7 lb). The Removable Yoke adds 3.2 kg, and the XT26 Control Box is a separate 20.5 kg unit.
