Chroma-Q Color Launches Block 2 Plus

The new Chroma-Q Color Block 2 Plus is a higher-output version of the original Color Block 2 multi-purpose LED fixture.

The company says the product uses the latest generation of LED and optics, resulting in 40% more output (750 lumens) than the original Color Block 2 (530 lumens) when the internal switch is set to full power.

For maximum convenience, it also features a Color Block 2 emulation mode, to simulate the lumen output of the original LED engine when used alongside other Color Block 2 fixtures, the company says.

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 company says. The beam optics haven reportedly 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. The Color Block 2 Plus fixture is bright enough to uplight a 20' set, the company adds.

In addition, the fixture provides a smooth, theatrical grade dimming experience, while retaining the instant strobe-like control of intensity normally associated with LED technology.
