As an 80W colour-tunable point source fixture with a colour engine based on the breakthrough BLAIR chipset, a Mini ProLock locking Bowens mount, and compact profile, the STORM 80c is a feature-packed versatile fixture suitable for a tremendous range of professional imaging applications from high-end film productions to small-crew video or photo shoots.

What’s special about BLAIR-CG?

The BLAIR-CG light engine (Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red/Cyan/Green), offers a colour spectrum greater than any other professional LED fixture available. For tunable white light, BLAIR-CG boasts an extended white light adjustment from 1,800K to 20,000K CCT with 100% +/- green control, the full ASC MITC range of adjustment. The new BLAIR-CG light engine is the best tunable colour light ever produced in an LED, delivering the greatest range and highest colour accuracy. It can reach 90% of Rec2020 colourspace, achieving saturated colours in shades previously unobtainable, such as accurate yellow. The calibrated indigo emitter enhances fluorescing materials, resulting in white light that better matches natural daylight and tungsten.

The STORM 80c offers 19,850 lux @1m at 5,600K with its included hyper reflector while maintaining an SSI [P3200] of 88 and SSI [CIE D5600] of 84 at 3,200K and 5,600K respectively.

The inclusion of an indigo diode in this chipset enhances the colours of fluorescing materials, resulting in an image that is lit more accurately to match natural daylight and tungsten sources.

Featuring a massive CCT range from 1,800K to 20,000K and advanced white-point control with green-magenta colour correction (±G 100% ASC MITC range), this fixture offers the versatility and critical colour accuracy that professionals call for on set.

Equipped with advanced dimming technology, the STORM 80c ensures flicker-free, colour-accurate operation during shooting even at its lowest output level of <19.8lux @1m (5,600K). In addition, this dimming technology provides users with an unprecedented 0.1-100% stepless brightness control.

Armed with a newly designed Mini ProLock locking accessory mount, the STORM 80c can support compact modifiers designed specifically for the 80c or be adapted to a full-size Bowens mount while maintaining an easy coupling procedure that reduces the need to make rotational adjustments with accessories to achieve a secure, optically aligned lock.

Featuring comprehensive lighting control protocol options, including 16-bit DMX512, LumenRadio CRMX, and Sidus Link/Sidus Link Pro® App control, the STORM 80c ensures seamless integration into professional lighting workflows at the lamp head and behind the console.

The STORM 80c ships with the new OSII operating system installed, which gives users a more seamless, quick, and intuitive user experience when operating the fixture. With a rugged IP65 dust and weather resistant rating, the STORM 80c is capable of withstanding even the most demanding filming environments in inclement weather without any impact to performance or reliability.
