For this year's Smukfest, the ROXX CLUSTER B2 FC was used on the festival's main stage as a blinder with countless possibilities.

The mood was high at Smukfest in Skanderborg when Denmark's perhaps most beautiful festival took place on August 2 to August 6. 40,000 guests flooded the festival grounds every day to experience 5 days of performances by great international and Danish artists on the 5 different stages -- and the odd rain shower.

Nordic Rentals, who supplied lighting for the festival's main stage, "Bøgescenen," chose to use 72 ROXX CLUSTER B2 Full Color blinders, which generated a buzz on the main stage because of the endless possibilities the fixture offers lighting designers.

The ROXX CLUSTER Blinder made its debut last year directly on three of the biggest festival stages, the iconic Glastonbury Festival, Rock am Ring and Rock im Park and has since found its way to many of the biggest stages in the world. The fixture has become very popular all over the world dur-ing the past year due to the many options achieved by using an LED blinder with a color module.

This way, the LED blinder from ROXX perfectly imitates the DWE source of a traditional tungsten blinder in every respect, the company says, but can be fully adapted to the artistic demands by switching off the "redshift" while utilizing variable dimming curves and fade times. Additionally, the white light version of the LED blinder offers twice the output of a traditional blinder.

At the same time, ROXX has created several completely new possibilities with the Full Color version, making it possible to use colored light for a blinder effect. The flexible color mix is a great opportuni-ty for lighting technicians, who can create special light expressions that perfectly suit the given artist on stage. The CLUSTER Blinder can, for example, also be used as warm light with an amber effect on the stage itself, which helps to give depth to the light expression. Thus, there are countless possibilities with the same fixture and on a festival stage with rapid switches between artists, it offers many opportunities to create a completely new expression that suits each performance without the need for a major reconstruction.

ROXX CLUSTER B2 FC got its name from the fact that it can be assembled into clusters both horizontally and vertically. The fixture is also waterproof, which is ideal for a Blinder on the front stage of a festival when the weather isn't quite what you'd hoped for. After the huge downpours at Smukfest this year, the CLUSTER Blinders put their IP65 certification to good use.
