FAQ

Can I buy just the XT52 lamp head to replace a damaged one instead of a whole new light?

Yes. Aputure sells the STORM XT52 Lamp Head on its own as part AS0706034V. It is the head listed in the STORM XT52 package, and it runs from your existing STORM XT52 Control Box through the XT52 head cable.

What HMI is the STORM XT52 comparable to?

Aputure measures the XT52 at 41,900 lux at 5 m with its 35° reflector at 5,600K and states that this exceeds a 6,000W HMI fixture. With the medium and wide reflectors Aputure says it outperforms 6K HMIs, and it stays tunable from 2,500K to 10,000K.

What power does the XT52 need, and can it run on 110V?

Full output needs 180V to 240V, where the system draws up to 5,600W (6,000W with extended head cables) at up to 32A. On 100V to 179V it is limited to 3,200W, which Aputure says is about 10% brighter than the Electro Storm XT26. Aputure also rates it to run at full brightness on standard 6,500W generators.
