Aputure Storm 400x 400W Bi-Color LED Video Light Rental in Surrey, BC
A 400W bi-colour LED, from 2500K to 10,000K, strong enough for a big key or for pushing through a large diffusion frame. It puts out 27,100 lux at 1 metre with no reflector at 5600K, and it's rated IP65 against dust and rain. The head weighs about 4 kg with a separate 3 kg control box, and the Bowens mount takes our softboxes like the Light Dome 150. Control it from the Sidus Link app or DMX. For more output, step up to the STORM 1200x.

Good to know
- It draws up to 500 W from the wall. Check what else shares the circuit before you add another big light.
- On battery it needs two 14.4 V V-mount batteries at once, each rated for at least 10 A, and that gives half output. None are listed in the case.
- Add a Bowens softbox like our Light Dome 150, or our Fresnel 2X for a focusable hard beam.
- It's rated IP65, so rain won't stop it.
