Aputure STORM XT52 (with flight cases) – LED Light

Aputure STORM XT52 Presentation

The Aputure STORM XT52 is a very high-power point-source LED light, offering a maximum output of 5,200W and a tunable color spectrum in white and color. Equipped with the innovative BLAIR light engine (Blue / Lime / Amber / Indigo / Red), it delivers cinema-quality white light with an extended CCT range from 2,500K to 10,000K, precise green adjustment (+/- Green), and indigo emitters allowing reproduction of natural daylight fluorescence or tungsten light sources.

The STORM XT52 is presented as the most powerful point-source LED light source in the industry, surpassing even 6,000W HMI projectors, with a light intensity of 48,000 lux at 5 meters with the 35° reflector. It covers more than 70% of the Rec.2020 color gamut thanks to HSIC+ and x,y modes, allowing saturated hues without gel filters: sodium ambers, deep reds, or subtle effects.

Available in two configurations (standard version or with dual flight case), this projector combines extreme power, color flexibility, and portability, all in a fully sealed IP65 chassis.

Practical Use Cases for the Aputure STORM XT52

STORM XT52 on High-End Cinema or Commercial Shoots

Thanks to its BLAIR engine and exceptional output, the Aputure STORM XT52 is ideal for high-end productions requiring accurate color reproduction, even during high-speed shooting. It is flicker-free from 20% power at any frame rate.

STORM XT52 in Harsh Outdoor Conditions

The STORM XT52 is certified IP65, which allows its use outdoors in the rain or in dusty environments. Its control unit is light (13kg) and compact, and can stay on the ground while the head (27.7kg) is mounted at height thanks to the extendable cable up to 45 meters.

STORM XT52 in Fixed Studio Setup

In a studio environment, it offers precise control via Limited HSIC+, xy, or standard CCT, ideal for colored ambiances without filters. The system can operate at full power on 6,500W generators, the industry standard.

STORM XT52 for Aerial Rigging or Crane

The modularity of the head cable (7.5m original, up to 45m with chaining) allows the head to be placed in a condor or crane while keeping control on the ground — thus avoiding weight overloads at height.

STORM XT52 for Professional Rental

With its robust construction and modular design, the Aputure STORM XT52 is particularly well-suited for rental. The version with dual flight case facilitates transport and storage while ensuring component protection.

Strengths of the Aputure STORM XT52:

1. BLAIR Light Engine (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) with +/- Green adjustment across the entire CCT range from 2,500K to 10,000K.

2. Unmatched Power: up to 48,000 lux at 5 meters with the 35° reflector, brighter than a 6K HMI.

3. Advanced Color Control via HSIC+, xy, and CCT, covering 70% of the Rec.2020 color space without gel filters.

4. Portable and Lightweight Design for this power range: 27.7kg for the head, 13kg for the control unit.

5. IP65 Rating across the entire system (head, cable, control unit, accessories), ideal for outdoor use.
