LED Fresnel Light Aputure STORM 80c 100 W — single-bulb, AC/Battery, 100–240V

The Aputure STORM 80c 100 W is a compact single-bulb LED fresnel designed for film, broadcast and studio lighting. This 100 W fixture provides a directional fresnel beam from a point source and is engineered for use as key, fill or background lighting. The unit accepts AC power across a wide range (100–240 V, 50–60 Hz) and can also be powered from compatible batteries, offering flexibility for studio and portable shoots. Housed in black, the STORM 80c incorporates the BLAIR-CG light engine to deliver a broad and accurate color palette suitable for professional camera capture.

Advantages

The STORM 80c combines a compact footprint with a high-quality single LED point source, delivering precise fresnel beam shaping in a small housing. The BLAIR-CG light engine offers extensive tunable color capability, covering more than 90% of the Rec2020 color gamut and enabling accurate on-camera color reproduction. The fixture supports a very wide correlated color temperature range and full +/- green adjustment for easy color balancing. A Mini ProLock Bowens mount secures modifiers and keeps optics aligned for consistent light quality. Dual power options — AC or battery — increase portability and deployment options on location.

Suitable for

• Key lighting on interviews and small sets
• Fill or background illumination in studio and on-location shoots
• Portable and run-and-gun production requiring battery operation
• Color-controlled lighting setups needing wide CCT range and green/magenta adjustment

How to use

Mount the STORM 80c on a stand or rig using the fixture’s yoke, attach compatible optical modifiers to the Mini ProLock Bowens mount and secure them into place. Connect to an appropriate AC supply within the specified 100–240 V range or fit a compatible battery according to the manufacturer’s guidelines for portable operation. Use the onboard controls or an external controller (if available) to set correlated color temperature, adjust green/magenta balance and fine-tune color using the BLAIR-CG engine. Position the fresnel to shape the beam and adjust focus or distance to achieve the desired coverage and contrast for key, fill or background roles.

Usage recommendations

For accurate on-camera color, allow a short warm-up period when switching color settings, and use a calibrated monitor or color meter when matching to other fixtures. When operating on battery power, verify runtime and plan for backups on extended shoots. Secure modifiers with the Mini ProLock mount to maintain optical alignment and consistent beam shape during movement or transport.
