Martin Pro VDO Atomic Bold - 400W RGBW LED IP65-Rated Hybrid Blinder/Wash with 72 x RGB LED Aura Backlight and 12-Degree Beam in Black Finish

The Martin Professional VDO Atomic Bold is an innovative and versatile 400W RGBW LED hybrid fixture that combines a high-power strobe, blinder, wash light, and eye-candy effects into one compact, robust package. Designed to meet the needs of rental, touring, and TV show productions, the VDO Atomic Bold offers outstanding creative possibilities with its full spectrum RGBW output and exceptional color mixing capabilities. Its unique octagonal design and IP65 rating make it ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, delivering reliable performance even in demanding conditions.

With 72 individually controllable RGB LEDs as an aura backlight, the VDO Atomic Bold creates eye-catching visual effects, while its 12-degree beam angle produces a crisp and focused light output for beam effects. The fixture provides both continuous light and high-intensity bursts of light, delivering up to 13,000 lumens in boost/strobe mode and 8,000 lumens in continuous mode. This makes it perfect for large-scale events, including concerts, clubs, and corporate shows, where versatility and intensity are crucial.

The fixture is equipped with a wide range of features designed for seamless integration into modern lighting setups. The Martin VDO Grid Mount System allows for easy connection to other VDO fixtures, enabling designers to create large battens or creative arrays. Additionally, it supports industry-standard control protocols such as DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and P3, providing flexibility in how the fixture is controlled. With pixel-mapping capabilities, you can integrate the fixture into your video content for a fully synchronized lighting and visual experience.

With built-in pixel-FX on the backlight and beam, the VDO Atomic Bold offers several dynamic effects, including dimming, strobe effects, and color mixing. The fixture also provides continuous pan and tilt movements, enhancing its versatility and enabling fast-paced effects. Its front-accessory holder allows for the addition of barndoors, diffusers, or lenses, further expanding its creative potential. Whether used as a standalone fixture or as part of a larger array, the VDO Atomic Bold delivers exceptional brightness, color control, and effects that can transform any performance or event.
