Aputure Storm XT52 5,200W LED High Intensity Point Source | No Case

The Aputure Storm XT52 is the most powerful full-spectrum point source LED fixture in its class. Delivering up to 41,900 lux at 5 meters with a 35° reflector, it surpasses even 6,000W HMIs while running on standard 6,500W generators. Designed for professional film, broadcast, and location work, this light gives cinematographers unmatched control, output, and color accuracy.

BLAIR: The Best Tunable White Light

The Storm XT52 is powered by Aputure’s revolutionary BLAIR (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red) light engine, achieving the highest-quality white light with exceptional ±green balance and a wide CCT range from 2,500K to 10,000K. Indigo emitters enhance fluorescing materials for a natural daylight and tungsten match, while offering smooth, flicker‑free output across any frame rate.

Color Tuning Control

Using Limited HSIC+ and x,y control modes, the BLAIR engine covers over 70% of the Rec.2020 color gamut. Create deep cinematic hues—from crimson sunsets to warm sodium ambers—without the need for gels. The XT52 doubles the output of any other color point-source fixture, making it ideal for both creative and high-output applications.

Compact Power and Portability

The XT52 stands out with its portable form factor. The lamp head weighs only 27.8 kg (61.29 lbs) and can be lifted by one person using a standard crank stand. The control box is the size of a briefcase (13.4 kg / 29.54 lbs), ensuring easy setup on location.

Extend Your Reach

With head cable extensions up to 45 meters, operators can mount the head in lifts or rigs while keeping the control box safely on the ground. The full IP65 weather rating across all components allows use in challenging outdoor conditions, making it a reliable choice for productions in any environment.

Runs Full Power on Standard Generators

The Storm XT52 draws 5,200W at full power and is optimized to run reliably on 6,500W portable generators. Smart power management adjusts draw when using long head cables, preventing overload while maintaining performance.
