Martin Pro VDO Atomic Dot CLD - 55W 5700K LED IP65-Rated Hybrid Blinder/Wash with 16 x RGB LED Aura Backlight and 11-Degree Beam in Black Finish

The Martin Professional VDO Atomic Dot CLD is a compact, powerful, and highly versatile LED fixture that offers multiple functionalities, making it an ideal tool for creating dynamic lighting and visual effects. As part of the VDO Atomic family, the CLD version combines a bright 5700K cold white strobe/blinder with a highly effective video-pixel surface, complete with an RGB Aura backlight. This fixture is designed to meet the creative demands of concert and touring lighting designers, set designers for TV shows, and rental companies, delivering stunning visual effects with ease.

Equipped with a powerful 55W LED engine, the VDO Atomic Dot CLD offers up to 3,350 lumens in boost/strobe mode and 1,600 lumens in continuous mode, providing exceptional brightness for both strobe and wash effects. Its 11-degree beam angle delivers sharp, intense light with a field angle of 22 degrees, making it perfect for both spotlight and blinder applications. The pixel-controllable RGB Aura backlight consists of 16 LEDs, allowing for sophisticated color mixing and intricate visual effects that enhance any lighting setup. The fixture's small size and robust design make it suitable for use in a variety of configurations, from individual units to large arrays.

One of the key features of the VDO Atomic Dot CLD is its compatibility with multiple control protocols, including DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and P3, offering flexibility for integration into a wide range of systems. The built-in pixel-FX capabilities allow for pre-programmed effects on both the beam and Aura, while individual pixel control ensures precise manipulation of each light source. The fixture can easily be incorporated into video-mapping setups, enabling designers to create immersive lighting effects that are synchronized with video content. Additionally, the integrated VDO Grid Mount System allows for easy interlocking with other VDO Atomic fixtures to form creative battens, arrays, or shapes.

Its IP65 rating makes the VDO Atomic Dot CLD suitable for outdoor use, while its passive cooling ensures efficient heat dissipation during long sessions. The fixture's front-accessory holder allows for the addition of barndoors or lenses, further enhancing its versatility. Whether used as part of a large-scale lighting setup or as an individual fixture, the VDO Atomic Dot CLD offers lighting designers the creative flexibility to achieve stunning effects in a compact, easy-to-use package.
