LEDBlinder 196 is an LED version of the poplar 8-lite Molefey, a staple of the rock 'n' roll world, featuring 8 LED modules, each with 12 high power Luxeon RGB LEDs. Each two or four pairs of the 4 or 8-lite modules are separately controllable for additional effects and flexibility. This product is aimed at all stage lighting markets and television productions as well as arenas and venue installations of all sizes. Robe says that they are also particularly relevant for environments were space is tight, as the units emit virtually no heat, so the temperatures remain comfortable.
The LEDBlinder 148 is a 4-way version of the 196 with all the same features, including a frost diffuser, which evenly spreads the light over a large surface area.
Offering 16.7 million colours, the units are pre-programmed with a stand-alone colour changing chase pattern and a rainbow effect. The white balance is pre-programmed via an onboard 4-digit LED control panel. This is an essential feature for TV applications. There's an electronic dimmer for light output adjustment from 0 to 100% (with no colour variation), and high speed white or full colour strobe between 1 and 25 f.p.s. Robe's LEDBlinders are DMX controllable, and there's an auto-trigger option as well.
