The new STRIKE Saber
USA - Chauvet Professional’s STRIKE series is expanding to include its first batten fixture. The new STRIKE Saber “packs the intense punch associated with the series’ pod fixtures, but in a linear configuration that features 10 x 17W warm white/amber LED cells,” says the company.
The STRIKE Saber can be utilised as a blinder, strobe, footlight or tunable white wash. It is pixel mappable and can also be used to create captivating chase effects. Adding to the attractiveness and immersive qualities of the STRIKE Saber is its emulated amber shift, which warms the colour temperature of the light as it dims to create a realistic incandescent look. The newest member of the STRIKE family also includes 16-bit dimming for smooth fades.
“The response that our STRIKE series has received from leading designers around the world has been overwhelming,” comments Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. “Designers told us they wanted more ways to incorporate the STRIKE series’ intense output into their rigs, so we designed a batten unit to complement our pod fixtures.”
He concludes: “With the STRIKE Saber being a batten-style fixture, designers will be able to use it in a wider variety of configurations. We’re very eager to see what they come up with down the road.”
