Vklop/izklop

Locate the power switch on the fixture. Toggle it to the 'ON' position to power on the light. Toggle to 'OFF' to power down.

Adjusting Brightness (Dimming)

The Storm 1200x features advanced dimming technology, allowing for precise brightness control from 0.1% to 100% in stepless increments. Use the control knob or integrated display interface to adjust the intensity.

Color Temperature (CCT) Adjustment

Adjust the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) between 2500K and 10000K using the dedicated controls. This allows you to match various ambient light conditions or creative requirements.

Green-Magenta Correction

The fixture offers ±100% green-magenta color correction (full ASC MITC range) for fine-tuning the white point and achieving optimal color accuracy, especially when mixing with other light sources or correcting for specific camera sensors.

The Storm 1200x offers extensive CCT and green-magenta adjustment for precise color control.

Blair LED Chipset and Color Accuracy

The Aputure Storm 1200x utilizes a breakthrough proprietary Blair LED chipset, which includes an indigo diode. This enhances the colors of fluorescing materials, resulting in more accurate light output that closely matches natural daylight and tungsten sources. This technology ensures exceptional brightness and color fidelity.

The Blair-CG chipset in the Storm 1200x provides superior color rendering compared to traditional RGBW LEDs.

Experience full spectrum lighting with the Blair chipset, which enhances fluorescing materials for higher quality white light.

Observe the difference in color response between the Storm 1200x and traditional bi-color LEDs, particularly in how they render fluorescing objects.
