Aputure STORM CS32 US, Bare Leads (w/Flight Case)

STORM CS32 Flight Case Kit (US/BARE LEADS)

The Aputure STORM CS32 is a high-output tunable color point source fixture engineered to deliver the brightness of a 4K HMI or 10K tungsten fresnel in a significantly smaller, lighter, and more flexible form factor. Built around Aputure’s enhanced BLAIR-CG with Extended Red light engine, the STORM CS32 combines exceptional output, high-fidelity white light, and an expansive color range in a professional fixture designed for demanding film, television, photography, and broadcast applications.

Key Features:

• 3200W Aputure Mount tunable color point source LED light fixture
• 4K HMI / 10K tungsten fresnel white light output in a compact form factor
• BLAIR-CG with Extended Red chipset provides excellent white light and color rendition
• Advanced white point control with green/magenta color correction (±G 100% Full ASC MITC Range)
• CCT range of 1,800K-20,000K

At its core, the STORM CS32 features a full white CCT range from 1,800K to 20,000K with full 100% ASC MITC +/- Green adjustment, Indigo for activating natural fluorescence, and Extended Red for improved skin tone reproduction. With high SSI performance across both tungsten and daylight standards, the CS32 delivers white light that cameras can reproduce with confidence, while its color engine covers more than 91% of the Rec.2020 color space for richly saturated colors and precise color matching using x,y and HSIC+ control modes.

Additional Features:

• Bare bulb output: 14,800 lux @3m 3200K, 15,000 lux @3m 5600K
• Ultra-high color accuracy: CRI≥97, TLCI≥98, SSI [P3200]: 93, SSI [CIE D5600]: 91, TM-30 Rf (avg) 96, TM-30 Rg (avg) 100
• x,y and HSIC+ color control for precise color matching • Selectable NA household power operation at 1700W (15A) or 2200W (20A)
• Head cable can be daisy-chained up to 45m for rigging lamp head in cranes, lifts, and overhead positions with control box at accessible heights
• Sidus NFC enables rapid patching and remote configuration while fixture is unplugged
• Flicker-free output down to 5% output at any recording frame rate

Designed to meet the needs of modern productions, the STORM CS32 offers flicker-free performance at 5% brightness and above at any recording frame rate, making it ideal for high-speed cinematography ranging from large-scale action work to tabletop product photography. Its compact square lamp head, removable yoke, and lightweight construction also make it uniquely suited for building powerful arrays in limited spaces, while the fixture’s 7.5m head cable can be daisychained up to 45m to support rigging in cranes, lifts, and other elevated positions with the control box remaining on the ground or at accessible heights.
 

• Compatible with Parallel Beam 70, CF16 Fresnel, STORM XT52 Reflector Kit, and Aputure Mount softboxes
• Compact cubic chassis design with removable yoke for rigging flexibility
• High output to weight ratio: lamp head weight with yoke: 19.80 kg / 43.65 lbs
• IP65 weather resistance
• Pro control protocols: Sidus Link, Sidus Link Pro, DMX, CRMX, Art-Net/sACN
• 16-bit 5-Pin DMX512 in & out ports and 2x locking Ethernet ports
• Serviceable sub-assembly design for both lamp head and control box
• Smooth 0.1-100% stepless dimming with 4 dimming curves: Linear, Exponential, Logarithmic, S-shaped
• 7 fan modes: Smart, Max, High, Medium, Low, Delayed, Silent
• 15 built-in light effects
• Supports firmware updates via USB-A drive

The STORM CS32 also expands on-set efficiency with Sidus NFC for instant fixture pairing and rapid fleet configuration, even while unplugged, as well as compatibility with the XT52 ecosystem of optical modifiers, including the Parallel Beam 70, CF16 Fresnel, Aputure Mount softboxes, and the STORM XT52 Reflector Kit. With serviceable sub-assembly designs for both the lamp head and control box, the STORM CS32 is built to provide long-lasting performance, reduced downtime, and versatile creative control for productions that demand power, color precision, and adaptability in one compact system.
