1500W Full-Color Point-Source LED with Ultra-High Color Quality
Now Available For Purchase and Rent
The Electro Storm CS15 is a 1585W high-output full-color point-source LED fixture with ultra-high color quality. Designed for professionals, it features dual accessory mounts, professional connectivity methods, high SSI color quality, and an IP65 dust & water-resistant construction.
At 1,585W of intense power output, the Electro Storm CS15 is comparable to industry-standard 1800W HMIs and is the most powerful and color-accurate open-face full-color point-source fixture on the market to date.
The Electro Storm CS15 is one of the most adaptable fixtures on the market, featuring both the universal Bowens Mount and all-new electronic Aputure Mount compatibility. Whether used with existing Bowens Mount modifiers, all-new Aputure Mount Reflectors, or the all-new F14 Fresnel, the Electro Storm CS15 is designed with higher stability, durability, and optimization for heavy-duty modifiers.
In addition to its intense power output, the Electro Storm CS15 utilizes a new dual-blue LED chipset to achieve stunning spectral reproduction with an ultra-high SSI (Tungsten) of 89+ and SSI (D56) of 86+, ensuring industry-leading color quality across its wide 2,000K to 10,000K CCT range.
Designed for professionals, the Electro Storm CS15 features advanced connectivity options, including Sidus Link app control, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-net & sACN via etherCON, and 16-bit DMX512. And with its rugged IP65 dust and weather-resistant construction, the Electro Storm CS15 can withstand the most demanding filming environments without worrying about performance or reliability.
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.
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.
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.
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.
