The newest member of the STRIKE series, this fixture is more than a scaled-down version of its forbearer, says the company. With a 230W warm white LED source (each of the four pods in the STRIKE 4 is 100W), the STRIKE 1 has a blisteringly bright and intense output. An outdoor-rated fixture, it is ready to add eye-popping looks to festival stages and open-air events, as well as to arena and music hall concerts.
Another key feature of the STRIKE 1 is its emulated red shift, which warms the colour temperature of the light as it dims to replicate the look of an incandescent fixture. The fixture's 16-bit dimming control also enhances its performance by allowing perfectly smooth fades.
"We designed the STRIKE 1 with the idea of combining warm incandescent looks with the versatility and performance of a technologically advanced LED fixture," said Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. "The design possibilities that this fixture opens up are virtually unlimited."
Adding to those possibilities is the STRIKE 1 fixture's multi-bracket design that makes it easy to create multi-unit banks. Designers can arrange arrays of STRIKE 1s in a variety of configurations to give their rigs a different look without adding new fixtures.
"We were all very happy to see the impact that the STRIKE 4 had this year on major tours and other events," said Chauvet. "With its versatile performance features the STRIKE 1 is certain to build on this tradition."
