About the Elation DTWBLINDER700 700 IP 2x2 175W DTW COB LED Blinder w/ Hanging Hardware
The Elation DTWBLINDER700 is a high-intensity, weatherproof LED blinder fixture engineered to deliver powerful, eye-catching audience lighting effects for both indoor and outdoor productions. Designed with a robust IP rating, it is built to withstand demanding environmental conditions, making it suitable for permanent architectural installations, touring festivals, and events where exposure to the elements is a concern. The fixture features a 2x2 array of four high-output COB (Chip-on-Board) LED modules, which collectively create an intensely bright and remarkably uniform field of light. This design is optimized for producing the classic "blinder" effect—sudden, high-impact flashes and sustained washes of light that illuminate audiences and create a visceral connection between the performance and the crowd—while also being capable of powerful static washes for stage or architectural illumination.
Control and functionality are tailored for high-impact use. The fixture offers full RGB color mixing, allowing for the creation of a vast spectrum of saturated colors and precise pastels, which can be used for dramatic color-changing effects synchronized to music. It includes a high-speed electronic dimmer and strobe for precise intensity and timing control, essential for rhythmic pulsing and sharp, punctuating flashes. The unit is designed for straightforward integration into professional lighting systems via standard DMX512 protocol, with multiple channel modes available to suit different control requirements. The inclusion of hanging hardware underscores its readiness for immediate deployment, typically allowing for easy rigging on trusses or other structural points.
Housed in a durable, sealed casing that protects its internal electronics from dust and moisture, the DTWBLINDER700 prioritizes reliability and longevity. Its high-efficiency COB LEDs and effective thermal management system ensure consistent performance and extended lifespan. The combination of extreme brightness, weather resistance, versatile color capabilities, and professional control makes this fixture an ideal choice for lighting designers who need a reliable, high-output blinder or wash effect that can perform consistently in any environment, from arena concert tours to outdoor festivals and fixed architectural applications.
