The new Flaris 1XK takes the popular tilting Strobe/Wash light concept to new heights with added flexibility. An IP65-rated hybrid Strobe/Wash/Blinder FX light with motorized tilt that can achieve mesmerizing effects with ultra-intense output that can either dazzle or illuminate audiences in more ways, all from a single unit. Making it ideal for multiple use scenarios ranging from concerts, rental houses, venues and anything craving more FLARE!
Flaris 1XK takes a unique approach on the LED strobe tube/pixel plate concept that has become a beloved staple across stages worldwide. It integrates 4x cold-white strobe tubes that are uniquely surrounded by 3x RGB+Warm White (RGBWW) Pixel Plate segments comprised of 864x RGBWW LEDs for expanded color mixing. Making Flaris 1XK the first hybrid strobe/wash light to integrate native warm white into its color mixing palette.
The addition of a dedicated 3,000K Warm White channel in the pixel plate allows Flaris 1XK to achieve true blinder effects with wider color temperature control, expanding its wash light capabilities. With motorized tilt, designers can flip from a warm front stage wash to a tungsten-like audience blinder that can also serve as strobe and colorful pixel effects instantly.
Warm White, however, also complements the primary Red, Green, and Blue colors and gives the added benefit of producing a more true bright white that closely aligns with the native 6,500K cold-white output of the strobe tubes. This allows Flaris 1XK to take full advantage of all emitters for a piercing output with more pure white consistency that is free of blueish hues. Flaris 1XK produces over 100,000 lumens of combined output and can achieve a native CRI of 92~.
Flaris 1XK’s quad strobe tubes offer mapping of up to 96 zones. The Pixel Plate offers up to 24 mappable zones and can produce a beam angle of up to 120º. The fixture integrates generous built-in macro effects for ease of programming. The elliptical tube lenses have a 10mm vertical thickness with the LEDs stacked in rows of 2, ensuring that strobe pixel effects have more pronounced visibility from further viewing distances.
“The distinct spacing and use of 3 plate segments extends the creative landscape for pixel effects but also gives Flaris 1XK the ability to produce a more block-like look with solid colors and more even wash dispersion” – Cruze Hutcheson, Service Director, Volux Lighting
Being mindful of universe limitations, Flaris 1XK features 9 unique control personalities including various pixel modes to conserve its footprint. Considering the more complex strobe tube/pixel plate design, a dedicated Emulation personality can allow Flaris 1XK to behave similar to other common Hybrid strobes found in the market for easier cloning and less programming adjustments.
The IP65 rating ensures that Flaris 1XK can withstand the elements of any tour and additionally features a marine grade coating for even harsher environments. Integrated drainage slots within the base and head ensure that water runs off seamlessly in any orientation. Alignment groves ensure straight linear arrays with a total weight of less than 35lbs.
“There’s already a considerable amount of options in the market with only slight variations between each other. So creating the 1XK was not just our response to demand to introduce a tilting strobe and wash light, but also create something that stood out from the rest by giving it a few extra tricks up its sleeve that can be useful to designers to serve multiple functional purposes that can potentially eliminate the need to add in another fixture type into the rig” – Zach Delzotti, CEO Volux Lighting
Flaris 1XK was initially previewed at Infocomm 2024 with resounding excitement. It will formally debut at LDI 2024 (Booth #1619) as part of the inspiring showcase to highlight our newest innovative offerings and the future at VOLUX. Contact info@voluxlighting.com for a private booth tour and demo.
