Rent the Aputure Electro Storm CS15 from San Diego Film Equipment for powerful, full-color illumination on feature films, television productions, commercials, music videos, live events, and large studio or location shoots.
The Electro Storm CS15 is a professional 1500W-class full-color point-source LED fixture with output comparable to an industry-standard 1800W HMI. It combines high output, a 2000K–10,000K color-temperature range, RGB color control, green-magenta adjustment, professional wired and wireless control, and IP65 weather resistance.

The Electro Storm CS15 can draw up to approximately 2,200 watts at maximum output. The SDFE rental package uses a three-prong L5-20 connection and includes a heavy-duty 10-gauge extension cable.
An adapter may allow operation from a standard 15-amp Edison receptacle at reduced output. Circuit capacity, other loads, cable ratings, connections, and operating limits must be verified before use. High-output fixtures should be installed and operated by qualified lighting personnel.
Unlike daylight-only high-output fixtures, the Electro Storm CS15 can produce tunable white light and saturated colors without traditional gels. Its broad 2000K–10,000K range allows crews to match warm practical sources, tungsten lighting, daylight, cool ambient conditions, and creative color effects.
The CS15 can function as a powerful direct source or be combined with reflectors, Fresnels, projection attachments, softboxes, diffusion frames, and bounce materials for a wide variety of lighting applications.
The CS15 supports local control, Sidus Link, DMX512, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net, and sACN. These protocols allow the fixture to operate individually or as part of a professionally controlled lighting network.
Its high-speed and flicker-free modes make the CS15 suitable for high-frame-rate cinematography and demanding commercial-production workflows.
The CS15 provides full-color RGB control and a wide adjustable-white range. The XT26 produces significantly greater white-light output but does not provide the same full-color capabilities. Choose the CS15 for color flexibility and the XT26 when maximum white-light intensity is the priority.
The CS15 offers greater output and full-color operation. The STORM 1200x is lighter, uses less electrical power, and is a practical choice when adjustable white light is sufficient.
Both fixtures provide full-color output. The CS15 is designed for larger sets, longer throws, large diffusion, and demanding exterior applications. The LS 600c Pro is smaller, lighter, and easier to deploy for interviews and medium-sized productions.
The CS15 provides output comparable to an 1800W HMI while adding adjustable color temperature, full-color control, immediate restrike, smooth dimming, and professional wireless control. An HMI remains a familiar daylight solution, but it does not offer the CS15's color flexibility.
Yes. The CS15 produces adjustable white light and saturated RGB colors, allowing it to create daylight, tungsten, mixed-color matches, and creative effects without conventional gels.
The CS15 is a 1500W-class LED fixture with output comparable to an industry-standard 1800W HMI. Its actual output depends on the selected color, color temperature, dimming mode, and modifier.
Full-power operation requires an appropriately rated circuit and connection. The SDFE package uses an L5-20 connection. Reduced-output operation may be possible through an approved adapter on a suitable dedicated circuit.
It can be paired with a compatible high-output portable power system, including the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3600Wh. Expected output and runtime should be confirmed with San Diego Film Equipment before the shoot.
The fixture is IP65 rated for resistance to dust and water. All cables, connections, electrical distribution, mounting equipment, and operating procedures must still be appropriate for the weather conditions.
Yes. The fixture supports built-in LumenRadio CRMX as well as wired DMX512, Art-Net, sACN, Bluetooth, and Sidus Link control.
The Aputure F14 Fresnel is designed for the Electro Storm CS15 and XT26. It provides a motorized spot-to-flood adjustment and substantially increases the fixture's intensity.
An experienced set-lighting technician or electrician is strongly recommended. The CS15 is a high-output fixture with substantial electrical, mounting, and rigging requirements.
Contact San Diego Film Equipment for availability and assistance selecting the F14 Fresnel, reflectors, stands, generators, portable batteries, electrical distribution, cables, diffusion, and grip equipment required for your production.
