The Chauvet Professional new STRIKE 1 is single pod light that is a blinder, strobe, wash, and flood. The STRIKE 1 is a scaled-down version of the STRIKE 4 with a 230W warm white LED source. It is outdoor-rated and has an emulated red shift, which warms the color temperature of the light as it dims to replicate the look of an incandescent fixture.
The STRIKE 1 is designed with 16-bit dimming control, a brightness of 1,119 lux illuminance at 5 meters (over a wide field) notwithstanding, and has IP65 rated direct power and DMX connections.
Camera friendly, the STRIKE 1 features Adjustable Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control to eliminate flickering. Constructed of black aluminum die cast material, the single pod fixture also looks good on camera and to live audiences when it isn’t illuminated.
As user friendly as it is versatile and attractive, the STRIKE 1 runs on DMX, RDM protocols and has 2, 3, 4 or 5 DMX channel modes as well as 2, 3, 4 and 5 channel personalities. The fixture also has built-in automated programs and Remote Device Management for added flexibility.
