Designed with power and durability for film and television professionals, the Electro Storm CS15 RGB LED Monolight from Aputure is a full-color point-source fixture offering 1500W of ultra-high color quality. The CS15 provides 2000-10,000K CCT and tint control, dual accessory mounts, advanced connectivity options, and a rugged IP65 dust- and weather-resistant construction to withstand demanding filming environments. Made with optimization and versatility in mind, filmmakers and lighting technicians will appreciate this powerful, color-accurate, RGB fixture that is ideal for illuminating large areas. This CS15 version comes with a US plug. A robust flight case is also included for storage and transportation.
Chipsets and Color AccuracyThe full-color LED chipset goes just beyond 1500W of power output that rivals industry-standard 1800W HMIs, providing expanded color controls across its broad 2000 to 10,000K CCT range. It also offers green-magenta adjustment and impressive coverage of over 90% of colors within the Rec. 2020 color space. The dual-blue LED chipset design allows the light to achieve broad spectral reproduction, boasting an SSI of daylight and tungsten at 86 and 89, respectively. This ensures industry-leading color quality in all shooting environments. The CS15 outputs up to 32,600 lux at a distance of 9.8' using its included 35° reflector.Professional ConnectivityDesigned with professionals in mind, the CS15 offers advanced connectivity options, including Sidus Link app control, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net & sACN via etherCON, and 16-bit DMX512. These features seamlessly integrate the fixture into existing lighting workflows, providing lighting technicians and programmers with complete control over its operation.Expanded Mounting OptionsFeaturing dual accessory mounts, the CS15 offers both the universal Bowens Mount and the innovative electronic A-Mount compatibility. This unique combination makes it one of the most adaptable fixtures on the market, catering to a wide range of modifier options, such as the versatile Spotlight Max. The A-Mount, designed for heavy-duty modifiers, including the optional F14 Fresnel, guarantees stability, durability, and optimized color accuracy while supporting motorized focus control. The Aputure mount is also compatible with the optional 20 and 50° reflectors.Advanced Liquid Cooling TechnologyTo effectively manage heat dissipation and maximize light output, the CS15 incorporates advanced liquid cooling technology. This innovative design guarantees that users can access the full potential of the fixture's light output while maintaining optimal performance.Additional BenefitsThe fixture comes with 15 built-in lighting effects, XY color control, advanced HSI, over 300 gel presets, and max and constant output modes. 0.1 to 100% stepless dimming is available as well as PWM and high-speed flicker-free dimming modes. Adding to its versatility, it also supports battery operation via dual 48 VDC inputs. In terms of convenience, the CS15's included high-output control box features side and top-facing ports, and a control box handcart is also supplied for easy transportation. If needed, users can also benefit from an optional motorized yoke that allows for smooth remote operation.Aputure Electro Storm CS15 Specs
