Color Block 2

Redefining LED Entertainment Lighting
Following the enormous success of the Chroma-Q™ Color Block™ LED fixture with rental companies and end users alike, we have combined the product's core elements of modularity and versatility with new single color RGBA optics, 530 lumens output (almost double the original model) and theatrical grade dimming to create the exceptional feature set of the Color Block 2™ fixture.

Chroma-Q Color Block 2 LED Fixture
 

With its radically increased color palette and high CRI of 90, the Color Block 2 fixture is a master at creating vibrant bold colors and subtle theatrical hues. Combined with its built-in variable color temperature capability, even flesh tones look natural, satisfying all but the most critical eye.

The four large, camera-friendly LED cells offer performers less glare and mix beautifully for single color output, virtually eliminating the frustrating color separation shadows normally synonymous with LED lighting. The beam optics have a soft asymmetrical quality carefully crafted to give an immediate perfect color blend for uplighting surfaces, yet retain a soft Fresnel-like edge for direct illumination. At close to twice the output of its predecessor, the Color Block 2 fixture is bright enough to uplight a 6m / 20 foot set and then some.

In addition, the fixture provides a smooth, theatrical grade dimming experience, whilst retaining the instant strobe-like control of intensity normally associated with LED technology.

The Color Block 2 fixture offers a cutting-edge new feature set, yet it retains the original model's modularity and wide range of fixing options, making it even better value.
