Aputure STORM XT52 Rental in San Diego
The Aputure STORM XT52 is a 5200W high-intensity point-source LED designed to compete with large HMI fixtures on major studio and location productions. Its BLAIR light engine provides high-quality tunable white light from 2500K to 10,000K, green-magenta adjustment and limited saturated-color control without conventional gels.
The XT52 supports professional DMX, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net, sACN and Sidus Link workflows. The lamp head can operate at full output from appropriate 180-240V power, and its head cable can be extended for lifts, rooftops and other remote placements.

Common questions
How much power does the XT52 require?
At full output on 220V power, Aputure specifies approximately 5200W of draw. Distribution and generator sizing must be confirmed for the complete load.
Can it produce color?
The BLAIR engine is optimized for tunable white light but also provides limited HSIC+ and x,y color control.
Can it be used outdoors?
