About the Elation DTW700 700 IP Dim to Warm IP65 Blinder
The Elation DTW700 700 IP is an IP65-rated dim-to-warm LED blinder fixture designed for professional stage, studio, and architectural applications where robust, weather-protected lighting with a classic incandescent dimming characteristic is required. This fixture specializes in delivering intense, focused beams of light for audience blinding effects, powerful backlighting, and architectural accenting, all while offering the smooth, warm color shift associated with traditional halogen sources. Its key feature is the authentic "dim-to-warm" LED engine, which replicates the behavior of a dimming incandescent lamp: as the intensity is lowered, the correlated color temperature (CCT) shifts from a cool white down to a warm, amber glow, creating atmospheric and dynamic lighting transitions that are highly valued in theatrical and live event production.
The fixture employs a high-output LED array capable of generating a very high luminous flux, focused through an efficient optical system to produce a tight, punchy beam ideal for long-throw blinding effects and strong aerial beams. The IP65 rating ensures complete protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making the fixture suitable for permanent outdoor installations, touring in exposed environments, and use in demanding indoor settings where moisture or dust may be present. Control is comprehensive via industry-standard DMX512, allowing precise command over intensity and, crucially, the dim-to-warm color temperature curve, enabling seamless integration into any professional lighting rig.
Constructed for durability and reliability, the DTW700 700 IP features a rugged die-cast aluminum housing with fully sealed optics and IP-rated connectors. Its design incorporates efficient thermal management to maintain consistent LED performance and longevity. The fixture includes integrated yoke mounting with adjustable locking positions for flexible orientation and is designed for straightforward installation on trusses, floor stands, or architectural structures. The combination of its high-impact blinding capability, authentic dim-to-warm performance, robust IP65 construction, and silent operation makes it a versatile and dependable tool for lighting designers seeking to add powerful, atmospheric, and environmentally resistant lighting effects to any production.
