FAQ

How are owners storing and transporting the CS32?

Aputure's case for it is the STORM CS32 Flight Case in this kit, 84.6 x 65.0 x 66.5 cm and 75.00 kg fully loaded. For a light that stays built on the truck, Aputure designed the CS32 to fit on lighting shelving or a head cart even with the optional CF16 and skid attached.

Can I run the CS32 from a regular 20 amp wall outlet?

Yes. The kit includes a 6 m NEMA 5-20P cable. The control box recognizes it and asks whether the circuit is 110V/15A or 110V/20A, then limits the draw to 1,700W or 2,200W. For the full 3,200W, use the 3 m bare leads cable on professional power at 110V or 220V.

Can I use my STORM 1200x reflectors on the CS32?

No. The CS32 has an Aputure Mount, not the ProLock Bowens mount of the 1200x, because its COB is too large for Bowens. It takes the 30° reflector in this kit and the 20°, 25°, 35° and 50° XT52 reflectors.

Should I choose the CS32 or the XT52 for a high-output full color job?

For full color, the CS32: 3,200W, 1,800K to 20,000K and more than 90% of Rec. 2020. The XT52 draws up to 5,200W at the head for more white output, with limited color across more than 70% of Rec. 2020.
