The Color Block 2 Plus utilises the latest generation of LED and optics, resulting in 40% more output (750 lumens) than the original Color Block 2 (530 lumens) when the internal switch is set to full power.
For maximum convenience, it also features a Color Block 2 emulation mode, to simulate the lumen output of the original LED engine when used alongside other Color Block 2 fixtures.
With its extensive colour palette and high CRI of 90, the Color Block 2 Plus fixture is a master at creating vibrant bold colours and subtle theatrical hues. Combined with its built-in variable colour temperature capability, even flesh tones look natural, satisfying all but the most critical eye, says the company.
The four large, camera-friendly LED cells offer performers less glare and "virtually eliminate the frustrating colour separation shadows normally synonymous with LED lighting". The beam optics have a soft asymmetrical quality crafted to give an immediate perfect colour blend for uplighting surfaces, yet retain a soft Fresnel-like edge for direct illumination. The Color Block 2 Plus fixture is bright enough to uplight a 6m / 20 foot set and then some.
