Aputure - STORM XT52 Point-Source Tunable-White LED Monolight (Bare Ends Cable)

Engineered for cinematographers and photographers who demand the absolute best, this 5,200W fixture is officially recognized as the most powerful point source LED light on the market. It masterfully combines the raw intensity to overpower direct sunlight with the precise color science needed for Hollywood-caliber imagery, all while maintaining a surprisingly portable and rugged form factor. Whether you're lighting a vast exterior night scene, achieving perfect skin tones in a studio, or creating dramatic saturated colors, the STORM XT52 delivers a toolset previously unimaginable from a single LED source.

The Revolutionary BLAIR Light Engine
At the core of the STORM XT52 is the proprietary BLAIR (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) light engine, a technological leap in LED design.

Unmatched White Light Quality: It delivers the highest quality tunable white light available, with a broad CCT range from 2,500K to 10,000K and exceptional +/- green adjustment for perfect color matching.

Superior Color Rendering: With a CRI and TLCI consistently above 96, it ensures accurate, lifelike color reproduction. The unique indigo LEDs make fabrics and materials fluoresce naturally, just as they would under actual daylight or tungsten sources.

Record-Brightness Output: The XT52 produces a staggering 41,900 Lux at 5 meters with a standard 35° reflector. This output surpasses that of a traditional 6,000W HMI fixture, giving you the power to compete with or completely overpower the sun.

Practical On-Set Performance
Generator Friendly: At full power (5,200W), it runs reliably on common 6,500W generators. A built-in power limiter menu ensures you won't overload your power source, even with extended cables.

Flicker-Free for High Speed: The fixture provides perfectly flicker-free output at any frame rate when set to 20% brightness or higher, making it the ideal tool for high-speed photography and cinematography, from action stunts to product shoots.

Comprehensive Control Ecosystem: Control the light via its onboard menu, Sidus Link mobile app (Bluetooth), CRMX wireless DMX, wired DMX, or Art-Net/sACN for seamless integration into any studio or location workflow.

Ideal Use Cases for the STORM XT52
The Aputure STORM XT52 is the definitive solution for high-end production challenges:

Large Exterior Night Shots: Effectively light city blocks, car chases, or large architectural features to appear as day.

Sun Replacement & Fill: Use as a powerful key light to simulate sunlight through windows or to fill large shadow areas under bright daylight.

High-Speed Cinematography: Its intense, flicker-free output freezes motion with clarity in slow-motion sequences for sports, nature, and commercial work.

Studio Fashion & Beauty: Leverage the flawless CRI and tunable white light for impeccable skin tones and texture detail.

Creative Color Grading: Create bold, gel-less color effects directly on set, from subtle tonal shifts to dramatic, saturated scenes.
