Looking for Aputure light hire in London? Aputure makes up most of our lighting shelf, so we're a good place to start. We stock the current Storm range alongside the LS and Nova lights a lot of crews already know, plus the Amaran mats and a full set of Aputure modifiers.
The big lights: Electro Storm XT26 (2600W) and CS15 (1500W), Storm XT52, Storm 1200x, Storm 1000c and the LS 1200d Pro. In the mid range there's the LS 600d Pro, LS 600x Pro and LS 600c Pro, the Storm 400x and the 300x and 300d Mark II. For soft sources and colour there are Nova P300c and P600c panels, INFINIBAR PB3, PB6 and PB12 kits, MC Pro and Accent B7c kits, the Storm 80c three-head kit and Amaran F21c and F22c flexible mats.
To shape it all, we have Aputure Light Domes (Mini II, Mini III, Light Dome III, 150 and SE), lanterns, softboxes in several sizes, the F10, CF4, CF12 and motorised F14 Fresnels, Spotlight Max and Spotlight mounts, barndoors and the XT26/CS15 reflector set.
Everything below shows its live day rate and links to its own page with specs and weekly pricing. Most of the Storm and LS lights use the Bowens mount, so modifiers swap between them easily; check each product page for the details.

Need more output than the Aputure range? The Nanlux Evoke 2400B is a 2400W bi-colour spot, and we hire it with its own Fresnel, parabolic softbox and parallel beam reflector. Shooting interviews or a doc? Most crews pair these lights with a Sony FX6 or Sony FX3 from the same site.
