FAQ

What is the color technology of the Electro Storm lights?

The CS15 features a combination of Red, Green, and Blue emitters as well as White light LEDs to provide the widest range of color tunability along with high output. Aputure’s dual-blue LED technology provides a rich color spectrum.

What Bowens mount accessories are optimized for the Electro Storm units?

While the Electro Storm lights feature the new Aputure Mount for accessories such as the F14 fresnel and the set of three reflectors, the CS15 also includes a Bowens mount nestled within the Aputure Mount. Aputure offers several accessories appropriate for use with these lights: the Light Dome 150 soft box, the Lantern 90 diffuser globe, and the Spotlight Max projector.

What is the storage and transportation like for these units?

The Electro Storm lights and accessories are large and require large cases. They are also ruggedly constructed. Many productions choose to transport and store such fixtures on shelves or carts without cases, so the Electro Storms are available for purchase with or without cases. Factory cases are designed to hold the complete the CS15 lamphead, control box, cables and basic accessories as a complete set. In North America and other territories, optional two-case configurations are available to separate the components into smaller units that can be more easily shipped. All cases are on wheels and are stackable.

WILL THE CS15 RUN ON HOUSEHOLD POWER? WHAT ARE OTHER POWER OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR THE UNITS?

The CS15 can be powered from some household circuits. The CS15 requires more than 110v/15a to operate at full power so in the US there are multiple cables available. A 20a Edison connector will allow full power and a 15a Edison plug will inform the Control Box to automatically limit power draw. You can also purchase the CS15 with bare end leads to allow users to mount their custom plug solutions, such as a 220V LV14-30 30A RV/dryer outlet.
