Introducing the LS 1200d Pro

The LS 1200d Pro is here - the ultimate daylight challenger that is capable of matching traditional studio fixtures in terms of brightness, along with dimming and remote control features. As the brightest Bowens modifiable fixture out in the market, the 1200d Pro is ready for big productions and small projects alike.
The LS 1200d Pro is the flagship Light Storm product and the brightest fixture in the Aputure and Light Storm lineup. It utilizes a 1200W Daylight COB chipset to compete on the same level as industry-standard HMI Lights, with a staggering 83,100+ lux output at 3 meters with the Hyper Reflector (Narrow).
The LS 1200d Pro is the first and only Bowens Mount LED on the market with a 1200W COB, making it the highest output LED fixture compatible with Bowens Mount modifiers like Aputure Light Dome soft boxes and Lanterns. the LS 1200d Pro can also be accompanied by Bowens Mount soft boxes made by manufacturers such as DoPchoice and Chimera Lighting.

This is one remarkable achievement in Professional Lighting. 1200 watts of LED light output is bright enough to reach places LED tech has never been before. We're just starting out guys. Buckle Up! Aputure is coming.

[@ZhiyunTechGlobal]

The new light and this commercial look so sick! Bring in the sun. Epic. Well done, Aputure

[@aputurelighting]

Thank you!!

[@angelitojusay593]

I'll wait for the LS 2400D

[@SamoScopom]

Aputure trying hard to get us to use a new catchphrase: "bring in the sun" lol but I'm always impressed how unapologetically they are proud of their products

[@AfiqDanial.]

Wow 🤩 this is fire 🔥 Great Launch Commercial Video And It’s Weatherproof First Time I Hear That !! This Is Totally Insane !!

[@kataichanda]

Excellent light. I hope they won't be back ordered for months.

[@FadzliAzmi]

Haha! "one light to rule them all"... nice

[@GKhanKutar]

Great light! Hope you can make spotlight set compatible with 1200 and 600 series. Also it would be nice to see 1200X version this year!

[@matthewjiang4243]

When does the LS 2400D come out

[@TJORIMAGES]

Bring in the sun, One light to rule them all…

[@eszesfilms1651]

hyper reflectors can work with cheaper aputure lights to?

[@fishbarbeque8540]

wow, the entro was hot as flames!

[@DanielEarl]

Can this fit in my backpack? I'm looking for a good travel light. 🤣 Seriously though, well done. This is an incredible piece of kit.

[@fishbarbeque8540]

hahaha!!! carry that instead of gym?

[@oliverticalstudios]

Potato Jet review coming in 3…2…1…

[@CrewCinema66]

incredible...wooww

[@eduardusarma]

aw wanna try one!

[@PrinceDennisWoruka]

Beautiful!!!!!!

[@oktawiangornik1284]

Awesome! I love the Aputure lamps. They changed the game for me. However, I just got the 2nd unit of 300DmkII broken. It just stopped working (with no reason, that I know of). Hope you guys can work it out, just so the lamps will be more reliable.

[@aputurelighting]

Thanks for letting us know! Please email [e-mail] for repair!

[@jamkastudio2118]

This’s amazing achievement 📸📌

[@TimoSund]

WOW! Not on my paygrade but sweet

[@zhuber]

Wow this thing is a cannon

[@Helsingborg36]

how can it only be as bright as a 1600w joker but still draw 1440w ? is there only so little difference in efficiency between HMI and LED?

[@fulgenciomartinez]

Yes

[@MartijnSchoeber]

The 1200d has quite a few good practical advantages though.

[@cfl4286]

A joker 1600 also draws more power than its name suggests. Similar to the 1200d, the 1600 refers to the power of only the light head. Once you factor in the ballast, a Joker 1600 probably pulls closer to 2000 watts. So you're looking at 1440 watts vs about 2000 watts (give or take). Led's are more efficient for sure! But probably not as much as people may have thought in the past! Their other benefits are really what makes them special. Cheers!

[@OMentertainment]

That's impressive! Would it be comparable to something like a 5k?

[@mediaproductionpro]

It’s the equivalent of a Joker 1600, so it’d be around a 5K possibly a touch brighter

[@koncepthousemedia2629]

Take my money!

[@AnimeZone247]

you phased out batteries and this light is pushing near conventional household circuits. I'm guessing after the 1200D it will be the 2400D. What will be your plan, since 2400W cannot be plugged into house sockets? Will the next lights only be used on generators?

[@damiengray1413]

Can be plugged into Uk sockets

[@cfl4286]

My guess is they'll make the head pull 1800 watts to put the total power draw at around 2200 watts (just under the 20 amp limit for an American household circuit). This would make it brighter than an M18 and probably a bit brighter than a 2.5K HMI par. If they want to start going after 4K HMIs, they'll likely have to go to generator power.

[@danielISTPhoto]

its crazy

[@G_Silent]

Aputure 2400D or something as bright or brighter than the M90

[@JSHFilms]

🤯🤯🤯

[@icancelled8117]

Dang even tho I live in California this is still expensive.

[@satra6505]

Can it be used with F10 or not ?

[@aputurelighting]

Yes! While the accessory isn't optimized for the unit, it is compatible

[@srpfilms4497]

😮

[@yetanotherfilmchannel5766]

This video is full of puns :o

[@fishbarbeque8540]

yes like: "this light has "led" the industry"

[@sieandknsproductions3491]

I'll for a aperture light overpowering the sun

[@literallykevin]

600x button 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀

[@JSephH76]

That's cool and all but standards are explicitly made NOT to be broken

[@gregsonfilm]

$3,400 USD

[@gaffergarage]

Lol

[@vivianvaldi7871]

There's a logical hawkish problem in your text : lights don't fight each other, they complement. Maybe your brand marketer believed your were going for another Irak war or something. Just ditch american branding, they just can't make the difference between a light and an Abraham M1.

[@talsstudio2939]

i Have 5 Aputure Light Storm LS C120d 2 are not working the same problem cant get in touch with Aputure company i will never buy this light again

[@aputurelighting]

Hello! If you haven't received an email back from [e-mail] please email [e-mail] and we'll try and help you out.

[@NineInchNailer]

I am excited for this light...however, the "epicness" of this video is so cringe, that I might die before I get my hands on that thing.
