The SŌL I BLINDER is a professional-grade, next-generation LED blinder and effects fixture designed to inspire limitless creativity in live entertainment environments. Inspired by the brilliance of the sun, this groundbreaking lighting solution combines sleek, modern aesthetics with powerful performance and intelligent modular design. Ideal for stage, concert, and event applications, the SŌL I BLINDER seamlessly integrates into any setting, serving as a single-cell, 2-cell, or 4-cell blinder—or scaling up into larger custom arrays using its innovative interconnect system. Designers can create linear arrangements, pendants, custom shapes, or versatile effects panels, all supported by a broad range of mounting accessories that enable virtually limitless configuration options.
At the core of the SŌL I BLINDER is a 250W RGB+Lime+Amber+White (RGBLAW) LED engine, delivering a remarkable 9,128 lumens of output and high-fidelity color rendering with a 93+ CRI. This proprietary color system elevates LED blinder performance with bright, clean whites and an expansive color spectrum. The fixture supports variable 16-bit dimming with selectable dimming curves, a full CCT range from 1800K to 8500K, CMY color emulation, and a virtual gel library, enabling precise color customization and smooth control. A dim-to-warm and red shift emulation function is also included to replicate the incandescent glow traditionally used in blinders.
The fixture offers a 46° beam and 85° field angle with its compound lens, or a wider 52° beam and 95° field angle when no lens is applied. Optional lenses, such as Fresnel, frosted, dome, and blackout lenses, further enhance the visual impact and beam control. A Bowens mount adapter allows the use of third-party accessories, adding another layer of flexibility to the design process.
Control options for the SŌL I BLINDER are robust, including 12 DMX channel modes, RDM support, and Elation’s proprietary Aria x2 wireless device management for simplified configuration and maintenance. The fixture features a simple “Array Mode” addressing system and can be operated in either high-output blinder mode for intense bursts of light or constant output mode for sustained illumination. A 4-button control panel with LED display provides local access to settings, while IP65-rated 5-pin DMX and locking power connectors ensure reliable outdoor operation.
Built for real-world demands, the SŌL I BLINDER is housed in a compact, lightweight, and rugged enclosure that is convection-cooled and IP65-rated for outdoor use in all weather conditions. It operates within a temperature range of 5°F to 113°F (-15°C to 45°C) and features a power thru capacity of up to three units at 115V or six units at 240V. The fixture consumes a maximum of 285W and generates approximately 972 BTU/hr.
Measuring 7.28 inches long by 4.48 inches wide and high (185 x 114 x 114 mm), the fixture weighs just 5.5 lbs (2.9 kg) on its own or 9.25 lbs (4.2 kg) with the included floor stand/yoke. Each unit ships with a fixture yoke, interconnect adapter, safety cable, and IP65 locking power cable. Optional accessories include a variety of interconnects, lens types, brackets, barndoors, gel frame kits, and jumper cables—making the SŌL I BLINDER a fully customizable tool for any lighting designer’s arsenal.
Approved for CE, cETLus, IP65, FCC, and UKCA compliance, the SŌL I BLINDER is engineered for reliability and innovation. Whether used as a standalone unit or as part of a creative, large-scale array, it redefines what is possible with LED blinder technology—delivering both performance and artistry in a single, powerful package.
