Aputure STORM 400x

Aputurepropartially verified· 0/4 specs sourced · 1 flagged for verification

The STORM 400x is a pro-tier 400W bi-color Bowens COB with app control and an IP65 weather-resistant build, a strong high-output option. It's pitched at owner-operator filmmakers who want a tunable-white key that doubles as a compact big-light replacement for location work in the elements. The bi-color engine and weatherproofing make it a strong run-and-gun key; just note it's daylight-to-tungsten white only, not full RGB.

Best for

  • high-output tunable-white key light
  • owner-operator filmmakers
  • weather-resistant (IP65) location work
  • compact big-light replacement

Who should skip this

  • Indoor talking-head creators — 400W is more key light than a small room needs
  • RGB/effects shooters — this is tunable-white only, no full-color control
  • Budget builders — you're paying for IP65 weatherproofing and big output most won't use

Compatibility

No platform-specific compatibility requirements — this works in any standard photo / video setup.

Upgrade path

Outgrow it and the Nanlite PavoTube II 30X 4' RGBWW Pixel Tube is the natural next step up in lights. See it →
