Audience Blinders & Strobes for Live Production
Audience blinders and strobes are essential fixtures for creating dramatic visual impact in live productions, from concerts and theatrical performances to broadcast events and dance floors. These powerful lighting units are designed to deliver intense bursts of light, captivating audiences and accentuating key moments in a show. Modern blinders often integrate advanced LED technology, offering exceptional brightness, a wide spectrum of colours, and energy efficiency, while some models meticulously emulate the warm, classic look of traditional tungsten sources. The range includes versatile options such as the TMB Solaris Flare series, renowned for its revolutionary RGBW LED brightness and ability to function as a wash, blinder, and strobe simultaneously. These fixtures, including the Flare Q+ and Flare Q+ LR, provide silent operation and increased output, making them suitable for sensitive environments like television studios. For robust outdoor applications, IP65-rated units like the Chauvet STRIKE Array series offer independently focusable pods and features like 'Red Shift' to mimic the ambering effect of dimming incandescent lights, ensuring broadcast-ready performance. Production managers, AV technicians, and lighting designers rely on these fixtures for their robust construction, flexible control options, and consistent performance. Features such as adjustable Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control eliminate on-camera flicker, while PowerCON-compatible connections facilitate easy power linking in complex setups. Whether deploying compact single-pod units like the Chauvet STRIKE P38 or large-scale arrays, these blinders and strobes provide the tools to craft dynamic and memorable lighting experiences.
