Aputure Electro Storm CS15 1500W High-Output Full-Color LED (No Plug)
Take your lighting to the next level with the Aputure Electro Storm CS15, a professional-grade 1500W full-color point-source LED fixture engineered for filmmakers, cinematographers, and lighting technicians. Combining immense brightness, ultra-high color accuracy, and rugged durability, the CS15 delivers industry-leading performance on any set, studio, or location shoot.
Unmatched Brightness and Power
With a 1500W output, the Electro Storm CS15 rivals traditional 1800W HMIs, delivering intense illumination across large sets and expansive environments. Its powerful full-color LED chipset ensures vibrant and precise lighting, with an expanded 2000K–10,000K CCT range, green-magenta adjustment, and nearly 90 percent coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space.
Professional-Grade Color Accuracy
Equipped with a dual-blue LED chipset, the CS15 achieves stunning spectral reproduction with an ultra-high SSI (Tungsten) of 89+ and SSI (D56) of 86+, guaranteeing consistent, true-to-life colors for all shooting scenarios from studio productions to outdoor sets.
Versatile Accessory Compatibility
Designed for maximum flexibility, the Electro Storm CS15 features dual accessory mounts: a universal Bowens Mount and the all-new electronic Aputure Mount. This allows compatibility with heavy-duty modifiers, Spotlight Max projection lenses, and the 14-inch F14 Fresnel. Professionals can also take advantage of optional motorized accessories, including a Motorized Yoke for smooth remote pan and tilt adjustments in hard-to-reach locations.
Advanced Connectivity and Control
The CS15 integrates seamlessly into modern lighting workflows. Control your fixture remotely using the Sidus Link app or via LumenRadio CRMX, Art-net, sACN via etherCON, and 16-bit DMX512, offering precision control over intensity, color, and effects from anywhere on set.
Rugged, Reliable, and Ready for Any Environment
Built with an IP65-rated dust- and water-resistant design, the Electro Storm CS15 can withstand the toughest conditions without compromising performance. Advanced liquid-cooling technology ensures consistent output even during extended high-power operation, making it ideal for demanding shoots in all environments.
