FAQ

Is the STORM 700x a real step up from the STORM 400x?

On Aputure's photometrics at 3 m and 5,600K with each light's 35° reflector, the 700x reads 18,670 lux and the 400x 5,090 lux. The 700x head weighs 5.15 kg with its yoke against 3.95 kg.

What beam does the bare STORM 700x put into a softbox?

The bare COB has a 58° beam (the 400x is 57°). Mounted without its reflector, that is the spread the head sends into a Bowens softbox.

Would a STORM 700x make more sense than a 400x as a single key light?

Both heads use the same BLAIR engine (2,500K to 10,000K, CRI and TLCI ≥95) and ProLock mount. The 700x gives 700W against 400W, at 5.15 kg versus 3.95 kg for the head, and its control box runs on 100-240V AC.

Can I replace only the STORM 700x head if it fails?

Yes. Aputure sells the lamp head on its own (SKU AS07060454), and it connects to your existing STORM 700x control box with the 8-pin weatherproof head cable.
