The CF12 Fresnel is a compact, high-efficiency focusing optic designed for use with Aputure STORM and LS series fixtures. It concentrates fixture output to deliver significantly higher lux values while maintaining a smooth, even beam and controllable spread. This description is provided for rental use, with details on what is included and how it performs in typical production setups.

Key Features

• High light intensification, increases STORM 1000c output by up to 9 times and STORM 1200x output by up to 9.9 times at 5600K, with published 1-meter readings up to approximately 58,500 lux and 84,400 lux respectively at full intensity.
• Variable beam angle, adjustable from 15 degrees to 45 degrees, allowing tight spot to medium flood control without swapping optics.
• Compact, lightweight design, uses a dual-expanding focusing system and multiple lens elements to reduce size and weight, ideal for small, balanced lighting rigs and rapid setups.
• Even output, optics engineered for a smooth center-to-edge falloff, useful for key, backlight, or controlled highlights where an even pattern is preferred.
• Cross-compatible, fits Aputure STORM 1000c, STORM 1200x, LS 1200d Pro, LS 600c Pro, and LS 600c Pro II fixtures.

Use Cases

• Location and studio shoots where a compact heavy-throw source is needed, for example to simulate sunlight or create a focused rim light.
• Interiors where space is limited and a smaller front accessory reduces balance issues on stands and gimbals.
• Interview and narrative setups that benefit from an even falloff across talent, while maintaining high output from a distance.

Included with your rental

• CF12 Fresnel unit, with focusing and mounting hardware.
• Adapter/mounting bracket compatible with supported Aputure fixtures listed above.
• Soft carry case or padded wrap for transport.
• Optional items available on request, such as light stands, clamps, or flight cases, subject to inventory and location.

Availability and notes

Stock varies by rental location. Contact your rental house to confirm availability, accessory bundles, and any compatibility checks for specific fixture firmware or mounting systems. When planning, allow for 24 to 48 hours for fulfillment and testing, especially for multi-unit orders. The CF12 improves effective output substantially, but final on-set exposure will depend on fixture settings, distance, and camera exposure choices.
