Aputure Light Storm LS C120D II LED Light Kit with V-Mount Battery Plate
The Aputure Light Storm LS C120D II Daylight LED Light is a chip-on-board (COB) fixture with a 5500K colour temperature. Unlike traditional surface-mounted LEDs, COB refers to the mounting of a bare LED chip in direct contact with a substrate (such as silicon carbide or sapphire) to produce LED arrays. This new technology results in lights that are brighter, output a higher quality beam and consume less power. Likewise, the LS C120D II LED Light consumes a negligible 180W of power while outputting 135,000 lux, equivalent to a 1000W hot light at a distance of 49cm (1.6') with an optional Fresnel. In addition to power efficiency, the fixture also features a high CRI/TLCI rating of 96/97, an indicator of the precise rendering of colour.
Thanks to an intelligent cooling system that employs a temperature-sensitive fan to regulate the heat, the fan produces only 18 dB noise, similar to the sound of a person's breathing. There is also an Auto/Force button that triggers maximum cooling.
The reflector and accessory mount is the widely-used Bowens S-type, while the wired controller is separated from the fixture's body, making it lighter and reducing its size. You can make light intensity adjustments locally on the fixture or remotely with an included wireless remote that allows you to control dimming functions from as far away as 100m. Yet another way to turn the light on and off or dim it from 1-100% is via onboard DMX remotely from a console.
- 5500K Daylight Colour Temperature
- 18dB Quiet Fan, Onboard DMC
- CRI/TLCI: 96/97
- Wired Controller Box
- Aircraft-Grade Aluminium Body
The LS C120D II is ready for worldwide use thanks to its controller's 110-240 VAC power supply. You can also use its V-mount battery plate for external battery power when mains power is unavailable. The LS C120D II is delivered as a kit with a reflector, controller, and a dedicated carrying bag to protect the light during travel and storage. It also has an integrated handgrip for adjusting the light's direction and for expeditious packing.
25% Brighter Than Its Predecessor
The LS C120D II boasts a luminance of 135,000 lux at 49cm away with the optional Aputure Fresnel. With an approximate brightness equivalent to a 1000W tungsten light, the C120D II is nearly 25% brighter than the 1st generation C120D, making it competitive with some of the highest-grade studio lights on the market.
Accurate Colour
The LS C120 II features a CRI of 96 and a 5500K colour temperature. Additionally, its TLCI has been measured at up to 97. TLCI Television Lighting Consistency Index is the accurate measurement of colour fidelity of a light source for broadcast use; a high rating shows that a light source will render colours well in a film or photography context. Therefore, the LS C120D II will display natural colour in both photo and video applications.
DMX512 Capability
DMX is the worldwide industry standard for film and television studios, theatre, broadcast, and all forms of digital networking systems. The C120D II comes with DMX capability, allowing studios to maximise their range of uses for their lighting arsenal.
Combined Controller-Power Unit
The C120D II is powered by a single, all-in-one power box. Made of aircraft-grade aluminium but maintaining its lightweight build, a single power unit means less cabling and power components so filmmakers spend less time setting up their light and more time being creative.
Neutrik Cable Locks
Colour-coded Neutrik cable systems allow for more flexibility in where your light can be placed, and advanced locking systems ensure maximum safety, regardless of your set's challenges and environment.
Handbrake-Locking Yoke
A redesigned yoke construction accommodates an expanded range of motion of over 330°, letting you angle and point your light anywhere you need it. An improved user-friendly handgrip design also makes for highly intuitive controls.
The Brightest or the Dimmest
The LS C120D II has taken the precision controls of the C120D and expanded them further allowing for seamless dimming from 1 to 100%.
Auto/Force: Powerful Temperature Control
The LS C120D II has an intelligent temperature control system. The fan's rotation will be varied based on the correspondent ambient temperature. The fan can also go to maximum of rotation when you engage Auto/Force mode. This complex fan system improves both heat dissipation efficiency and LED lifespan.
Quiet Operation
Some lights utilising a fan system are too loud and not suitable for film or video production. However, the LS C120D II with its built-in electric fan produces only 18 dB noise, similar to the sound of a person's breathing. That means there is negligible fan noise, even at maximum output.
Portable & Lightweight
Portability and lightweight are characteristics many photographers and filmmakers can appreciate in equipment, and the LS C120D II weighs in at 2.2kg.
Effective Battery Power Solution
The LS C120D II can meet various shooting requirements with AC or battery options. The light's V-mount battery plate is an asset for situations where mains power is unavailable.
Wireless Remote Control with 100m Range
Using 2.4GHz technology, the LS C120D II can power on and off or adjust brightness wirelessly, even at distances up to 100m.
