Aputure STORM 700x Tunable White LED Light Rental

MPR Says

The Aputure STORM 700x rental puts 700W of BLAIR-engine tunable white output on a single ProLock Bowens head that runs from 2,500K to 10,000K, dims to 0.1% without dropping a stop of color accuracy, and ships IP65-rated for outdoor Florida locations where weather is never a courtesy. It is the fixture that production companies in Miami and Fort Lauderdale reach for when they need a high-output tunable white key that a gaffer can dial to any CCT on the network and a colorist can match in the grade without fighting inconsistent white balance.

By David Wells, President, Moving Picture Rental — Updated April 26, 2026

The STORM 700x occupies the output class between the LS 600x Pro and the STORM 1200x — more than enough punch to be a key light on a medium format fashion shoot or an exterior window source pushing through diffusion, while compact and light enough (5.15 kg lamp head) for a single grip to position on a C-stand without a counterweight fight. At 18,670 lux at 9.8 ft with the 35° reflector, it covers the distance that separates a production LED from a prosumer unit. Pair it with a softbox or a Fresnel and that output becomes genuinely useful at working distances across mid-size studio sets in Orlando and Tampa.

For commercial productions in Fort Lauderdale that run day-to-night scenarios — a product launch shoot that starts with 5,600K window light and transitions to a 3,200K warmer evening setup — the Aputure STORM 700x rental eliminates the gel swap and the color inconsistency it introduces. The BLAIR engine’s 70%+ Rec.2020 gamut coverage and TM-30 Rf 95 average mean the transitions are clean enough that a colorist can grade across both looks without fighting a metamerism problem introduced by the light source. That translates directly to less time in post and fewer correction requests from the client.

Production Use Cases

The Aputure STORM 700x rental is the tunable white key light that production companies in Miami request by name. On commercial sets running mixed ambient sources — office fluorescents, retail LEDs, Florida exterior daylight — the gaffer dials the 700x to the ambient CCT and uses it as a matched key without a color correction gel. The output is high enough to ratio against ambient even in brightly lit interiors, and the 0.1% dimming range gives the gaffer the fine control needed to balance without ND gel cutting into the color accuracy.

For documentary work in Fort Myers and Tampa, the 700x frequently serves as a single-fixture interview key — 2,500K to 10,000K range covers every practical environment from the warmest tungsten restaurant to the coldest fluorescent office without changing the fixture. The IP65 rating keeps it operational even when a shoot moves to a waterfront location or a semi-outdoor venue on a humid Florida afternoon. A single STORM 700x with a Aputure Light Dome is a complete one-light interview solution for a two-person documentary crew.

When paired with the Aputure STORM 1000c on a music video or branded content shoot, the 700x handles the white key while the 1000c provides the color accent or background wash — both on the same Sidus Mesh network, both controlled from the Sidus Link app without cable runs. For gaffer-managed setups requiring DMX console integration, the 5-pin DMX and Art-Net/sACN inputs connect directly to a standard lighting board, making the 700x fully compatible with theater-style lighting workflows on large commercial stages in Orlando.

FAQ

What is the Aputure STORM 700x and how does it compare to the LS 600x Pro?

The Aputure STORM 700x is a 700W BLAIR-engine tunable white LED — newer architecture with higher output (18,670 lux at 9.8 ft) and better color specs (CRI 95+, TM-30 Rf 95) than the LS 600x Pro. The 700x also adds IP65 weather protection, 0.1% stepless dimming, and Sidus Mesh wireless. If your production needs the most capable tunable white point source available in the 700W class, the STORM 700x is the current standard.

What CCT range does the Aputure STORM 700x rental cover?

The STORM 700x covers 2,500K to 10,000K with continuous 0.1%–100% stepless dimming across the full range. CCT can be adjusted remotely via the Sidus Link app, CRMX, or DMX console without any color shift or output dropoff at any dimmer position.

Can the Aputure STORM 700x rental be used outdoors?

Yes. The STORM 700x is IP65-rated for dust and full weather protection — the lamp head, cable, and controller are all rated for outdoor use. For Florida exterior locations in Tampa, Orlando, and Fort Myers where weather can change mid-shoot, the IP65 rating is an operational necessity rather than a convenience.

What modifiers are compatible with the Aputure STORM 700x rental?

The STORM 700x uses a ProLock Bowens mount, compatible with Aputure’s full range of softboxes, Fresnel lenses, beauty dishes, barndoors, and grids. Moving Picture Rental carries Aputure Bowens-mount modifiers sized for the STORM 700x’s output class that can be added to your rental quote.
