The Atomic™ 3000 LED merges the powerful legacy of the original Atomic™ 3000 DMX with the advanced capabilities of LED technology. Designed to replicate the intensity and iconic performance of its predecessor, this modern evolution maintains the same trusted functionality and behavior, while significantly reducing peak power consumption thanks to its energy-efficient design. This makes it a sustainable yet uncompromising choice for high-impact strobe applications.
What sets the Atomic 3000 LED apart is its dual role as both a traditional strobe and a highly versatile creative tool. It features an integrated RGB-controlled Aura backlight, which projects color into the reflector and creates vibrant, eye-catching effects reminiscent of those seen in the MAC Aura™ and MAC Quantum™ Wash. This combination opens new visual possibilities for lighting designers, particularly in live entertainment, television, and event environments.
The fixture incorporates internal FX macros and compatibility with the original Atomic Colors scroller, offering a seamless upgrade path and greater design flexibility. These built-in effects, along with simplified control and configuration options, make the Atomic 3000 LED a standout solution for professionals seeking both classic strobe power and dynamic visual effects.
Visually, it retains the classic reflector look and iconic letterbox form factor that made the original Atomic a staple in the industry. The clever integration of RGB Aura illumination, a dimmable house-light function, and dual-mode operation (LED and Xenon via menu or DMX) allows users to transition effortlessly between modern and legacy workflows. Its robust construction includes a steel housing with high-impact thermoplastic elements, providing a durable solution for indoor installations.
With support for DMX and RDM control protocols, the Atomic 3000 LED offers both 4-channel operation for drop-in replacement of older Atomic models and a 14-channel extended mode for full Aura and FX control. Firmware updates can be performed via USB or DMX using Martin Companion, ensuring long-term flexibility and compatibility.
At the heart of its performance is a strobe array composed of 228 Cree XLamp XP-L LEDs delivering up to 180,000 lumens at a 5700K color temperature. The strobe uses a hybrid dimming system—current-controlled above 16.7% intensity and PWM-controlled below—for smooth, flicker-free output. Meanwhile, the Aura backlight array uses 64 Osram RGB LEDs with 8-bit resolution and precise color binning to achieve consistent, vivid hues.
Designed for quick and secure rigging, the Atomic 3000 LED features multiple mounting points and an adjustable bracket that accommodates a variety of configurations. Its IP20-rated housing is optimized for indoor use, and it includes secure connections for AC power, DMX data, and the Atomic Colors scroller. The fixture’s thermal system uses forced air cooling with temperature-regulated, low-noise fans and user-definable settings to maintain optimal performance in ambient temperatures up to 40°C.
With a typical power consumption of 663 watts and a peak draw of 740 watts, the Atomic 3000 LED balances incredible output with efficiency. It’s a worthy successor to the Atomic legacy—built for today’s lighting professionals who demand powerful performance, creative flexibility, and reliable, modern design.
