The Blizzard HotStik 5 COB II is an advanced linear LED wash fixture that utilizes next-generation COB (Chip-on-Board) LED technology to deliver an exceptionally smooth, homogeneous, and high-output field of light. Unlike traditional LED fixtures that use discrete, individually visible LED points, COB technology packs a dense array of tiny LED emitters onto a single chip, covered by a uniform phosphor layer. This results in a single, continuous light source that eliminates pixelation or multi-shadow effects, producing a flawless wash ideal for lighting cycloramas, backdrops, stages, and architectural surfaces where a perfectly even blend of light is critical. The fixture's linear "stick" form factor allows it to create broad, consistent swathes of color or white light across large areas.

This iteration, the "COB II," represents an evolution in the series, offering enhanced performance metrics such as increased lumen output, improved color rendering, and more efficient thermal management. The fixture is capable of producing a wide spectrum of vibrant, saturated colors through advanced color mixing, and typically includes a variable white light function with a broad range of adjustable color temperatures, from warm amber to cool daylight. The high color rendering index (CRI) ensures that illuminated subjects and surfaces appear natural and true-to-life, making it suitable for applications where color accuracy is important, such as television studios, theater, and high-end event production.

Designed for professional integration, the HotStik 5 COB II features comprehensive DMX-512 control with multiple channel modes to accommodate various console capabilities, and it often includes RDM (Remote Device Management) for simplified addressing and monitoring. The fixture is built into a robust, extruded aluminum housing that acts as an effective heat sink, ensuring stable performance and long LED life. It includes standard mounting points for easy attachment to trusses, yokes, or floor stands. With its combination of superior optical quality from COB technology, high output, versatile color capabilities, and professional-grade construction, the Blizzard HotStik 5 COB II is a premium tool for lighting designers who require studio-quality, seamless wash lighting for demanding creative environments.
