Chauvet Professional's New Strike V Opens Way To "Never Seen Before" Looks

You always got to up your game if you want to keep winning. Chauvet Professional has taken this timeless adage to heart with the introduction of its new Strike V. The new fixture is the latest addition to the company’s hugely successful Strike family of fixtures, which have redefined touring and concert lighting in recent years. Now Chauvet Professional is ready to shake things up again with a motorised hybrid strobe-wash that, simply put, creates multi-layered looks that have never been seen before!

With two layers of individually controllable RGBW LEDs (24-per layer) and a smart frost that can create zoomed out flares, the Strike V provides designers with a tool that they can use to take their shows to the next level. 

The variable electronic frost plate over the dual layers of pixels makes it possible to change beam angles instantly at the press of a button, while the advanced optics of the LED diodes themselves can produce a stunning array of vibrant colours. A 180-degree titling fixture, the Strike V has remarkably powerful strobing capabilities to go alone with its outstanding performance as a colour wash. (Its top layer of LEDs is 6W and bottom layer is 50W.)

As a colour wash or strobe, the Strike V's can create static effects or smooth motorised looks that will transform any concert venue or outdoor festival regardless of its size. Endowed with an incredibly punchy flair, the new IP65 fixture will engage every fan, even those in the most remote sections of an arena or festival grounds with its bold output, vivid colours and eye candy.

Designed to be at home in any setting, the Strike V features a magnetically attachable stealth filter to hide the LEDs when desired. This ruggedly built superstar also has multiple mounting locations and a repositionable yoke with quarter-turn adaptors for creative and convenient rigging options in vertical and horizontal orientations. There are also built-in alignment pins to ensure perfectly safe linear arrays.

These and other features make the 36lb. (16.3kg) Strike V easy to set up and tear down. That's good news for road crews, because given its powerful output and stunning dual layered looks, this fixture will be transforming light shows everywhere this summer and beyond.
