Product overview

1.1 Chroma-Q Color Block 2

Following the enormous success of the Chroma-Q Color Block™ LED fixture with rental
companies and end users alike, the manufacturer has 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.
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 feet set and then some
.
Each Color Block 2 fixture features 48 high output LED set into 12 single optic RGBA clusters
that are grouped into 4 cells which produce an intense, powerful light and vibrant colours
across the spectrum.
The control options incorporate a choice of HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity), RGBA (Red,
Green, Blue, Amber), RGB(A) (Red, Green, Blue, with *Magic Amber), RGBI (Red, Green, Blue
with *Magic Amber and Intensity) control modes, and a dynamic Variable Effects Engine
integrated in the software which gives the lighting designer full control over colour and effects
combinations.
The product's lightweight yet robust, heavy gauge aluminium extruded construction houses a
discreet cable management system and additional protection is built around the LED lenses for
a truly road proof fixture.
A range of DMX controlled power supplies are available to accommodate most applications.
Each Color Block Power Supply features XLR4 outputs with a maximum capacity of 5 Color
Block 2 fixtures daisy chained together. See separate PSU user manual for control details.
* Magic Amber is the term used for the unit's ability to bring in Amber when mixing colours that require it
