Electro Storm CS15

The Aputure Electro Storm CS15 is a high-output 1500W full-color point source lighting fixture designed for professional film, television, and commercial production environments. Engineered to deliver brightness comparable to industry-standard 1800W HMI fixtures, it provides powerful and accurate illumination for demanding cinematic applications.

Built for versatility and reliability, the CS15 combines high-intensity output with advanced color control, making it suitable for both studio setups and challenging on-location shoots.

High-Intensity Professional Output

Operating at 1,585W of effective output power, the Electro Storm CS15 delivers HMI-class brightness while maintaining full-color LED flexibility. Its open-face point source design ensures strong beam projection and consistent illumination across large-scale production environments.

The fixture is optimized for professional cinematography where high output and color accuracy are essential for visual consistency.

Advanced Color Performance

The CS15 utilizes a dual-blue LED chipset to achieve highly accurate spectral reproduction, delivering industry-leading color fidelity. It supports an extensive correlated color temperature range from 2000K to 10,000K, enabling precise white balance control and creative color shaping.

With SSI ratings of 89+ (Tungsten) and 86+ (D56), the fixture ensures accurate skin tones and consistent color rendering across diverse lighting conditions.

Modular Mounting System

The Electro Storm CS15 features both universal Bowens Mount compatibility and the new Aputure Mount system, supporting a wide range of optical modifiers. This includes existing Bowens accessories, dedicated Aputure Mount reflectors, and the F14 Fresnel for enhanced beam control.

The mounting system is engineered for improved stability and durability, ensuring secure operation with heavy-duty modifiers in professional environments.

Professional Control and Connectivity

Designed for integration into advanced lighting workflows, the CS15 supports multiple control protocols including Sidus Link app control, LumenRadio CRMX wireless DMX, Art-Net, sACN via etherCON, and 16-bit DMX512.

These connectivity options allow seamless integration into both compact production setups and large-scale broadcast lighting systems.

Durable All-Weather Construction

The fixture features an IP65-rated dust and weather-resistant housing, enabling reliable performance in challenging outdoor environments. Its rugged build ensures consistent operation even under demanding production conditions.

This durability makes the CS15 suitable for high-end cinema, commercial shoots, and location-based productions requiring dependable lighting performance.
