The Light Storm 300x is Aputure’s latest point-source LED and is the first bi-color Bowens mount light fixture to be compatible with optical lens modifiers. By combining the latest optical color blending technology with Aputure’s dual-color LED chipset, the LS 300x can utilize the Fresnel 2X and Spotlight Mount to give you unprecedented flexibility from a single fixture. With a simple turn of a dial or press of a button, you can adjust the fixture’s white light CCT output between 2700K-6500K in just seconds. And utilizing the same robust lamp head and control box design as the 300d II, this light is built to handle any filmmaking challenge.

Variable-White Lighting

The Aputure 300x Light Storm LED fixture integrates properly mixed variable-white lighting into an easily modifiable point-source light engine. It features a specially designed color-blending optical element in front of its LED light source, combining the bi-color chipset into one cohesive point-source. The combination of this new technology, along with the Aputure ecosystem, allows you to achieve bi-color flexibility never before experienced with Aputure products.

Enhanced Output

With the Fresnel 2X, the LS 300x can produce over 56,000 lux at 1 meter, creating a stunningly bright light, with CCT control always at your fingertips. By having the ability to use lensed modifiers like the Fresnel 2X or the Spotlight Mount, in addition to soft light modifiers like the Light Dome II, you can achieve extreme lighting precision to match any shooting environment. Spot, flood, cut, or diffuse your light without worrying about unwanted artifacts while controlling your white point.

Flexible Bi-Color Range

The 300x is the first of many Aputure lights to utilize the expanded vari-white CCT range of 2700K-6500K, going beyond traditional bi-color, allowing you to produce light that is warmer than typical tungsten fixtures, and cooler than conventional daylight. Flexibility with your white light is the key to moving quickly on set, so with the expanded bi-color range, that’s fewer gels you have to carry. So whatever your ideal effect is, the 300x will help you create light that will perfectly match your atmosphere.

Reliable Color Rendering

No matter which light engine you use, color fidelity is always essential, so like all Aputure lights, the 300x sports reliable color rendering abilities. With CRI and TLCI scores of 96+, a tungsten SSI score of up to 85, and a D55 SSI score of up to 74, the 300x will always provide you with top of the line, accurate color reproduction.

Robust Design

The 300x also takes a note from the 300d II, by incorporating the same sleek lamp head design and control box design. The 300x utilizes a full 360-degree adjustable handbrake locking yoke. It also matches the 300d II with a completely silent, passively-cooled all-in-one control box, integrating the power supply and control system into a single unit.

Quick and Precise CCT Control

The main difference between the two control boxes is that the 300x now utilizes a new CCT control wheel, in addition to the intensity wheel. The 300x CCT dial allows you to fine-tune your CCT in +/- 50K increments. But with the Preset button located in the middle of the wheel, you can also toggle between 5 common CCT presets (2700K, 3200K, 4300K, 5500K, 6500K) for quick accessibility.
