BLAIR engine for tunable white light
The Aputure STORM 700x features BLAIR light engine, a five-channel LED system combining blue, lime, amber, indigo, and red emitters. This technology delivers unprecedented white-light accuracy and extends control across the full ASC MITC ±G range for precise tint balancing under any condition. Indigo emitters replicate the fluorescing qualities of natural daylight, improving realism on reflective or organic materials. With a 700W output and 850W draw, it surpasses previous-generation point-source LEDs in brightness.
Colour control and fidelity
BLAIR technology delivers consistent colour reproduction with CRI and TLCI ratings of ≥95 and SSI scores of 87 at both D56 and tungsten. The STORM 700x enables accurate adjustment across 2500-10,000K, letting users match complex lighting setups or ambient sources precisely. Limited HSIC+ and x,y colour modes extend creative control, achieving rich hues and subtle shifts without gels. From sodium vapour tones to deep crimson highlights, the unit maintains linear response and consistent luminance for reliable on-set matching.
ProLock mounting and weather protection
Aputure’s ProLock Bowens mount ensures modifiers and optics stay locked in alignment, even when supporting large reflectors or Fresnels. This mechanical locking system eliminates rotation and sag, maintaining beam consistency during long takes. The entire assembly is IP65 weather resistant, sealing connectors and ports against dust and moisture. Both the lamp and control box withstand rain and dirt ingress, enabling continuous operation in demanding environments. The compact 5.15kg head mounts securely to either baby or junior stands, providing stable positioning in both studio and exterior setups.
Professional control and operation
The STORM 700x integrates multiple control options, including Sidus Link and Sidus Link Pro apps, built-in CRMX (TimoTwo), and 5-Pin DMX/RDM connectivity for lighting consoles. Wireless range extends to 100m for both Bluetooth and CRMX, giving full access to intensity, colour, and effect parameters without cabling. Active air cooling maintains stable thermal performance, with selectable fan modes from Smart to Silent (0 dBA).

FAQs:
Does the Aputure STORM 700x support firmware updates?
Firmware can be updated via the Sidus Link or Sidus Link Pro app, or through a USB-A drive connected directly to the control box. This ensures ongoing compatibility with new control protocols and features.
Is the Aputure Storm 700x compatible with accessories?
The Aputure Storm has a ProLock Bowens mount, making it compatible with a vast range of light modifiers. The native COB produces a 58° beam angle, which is narrowed to 35° with the supplied BM6835 reflector for controlled throw. Pairing the lamp with the CF10 Fresnel lens increases output beyond 19,000 lux at 3m, offering light comparable to traditional HMIs with far greater flexibility.
How heavy is the Aputure Storm 700x?
The Aputure Storm 700x lamp head with the yoke attached weighs 5.15kg, and the control box adds 4.1kg. Including cables, reflector, and rolling case, the complete kit remains portable for one-person transport and setup.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan).
