Showtec Stage Blinder 2 DMX

I initially bought a couple of these units just for the warm aesthetic that they bring to some live recording sessions I was filming. Used just to add warmth to my shots, never actually to blind, which they did quite well.

Though I also have 2 of these units mounted at the back of the stage in my venue and they will absolutely blind you when necessary.

For small freelance shows I've started using these as a front-wash as well. Which they do very well due to the warm tones that these lamps produce.

Get yourself a good little DMX controller and these Blinders are great and, as I've laid out, very versatile.

I bought four of these blinders for the purposes of lighting up and audience and they don’t disappoint. They’re exactly what’s needed when you have an audience of 1000+.

Just be mindful of the current draw when using a lot of them. Four of these will pull 30 amps when being used together, so ensure the cabling is up to the job. Also take into consideration that these are meant to be used for short bursts of light, and not left on for extended periods. This has caused bulbs to fail (and in some cases explode), so use them sparingly. I learned the hard way.

The units have performed flawlessly and their 1 channel DMX operation make them a breeze to use. I highly recommend them.
