SNOWSTORM

SNOWSTORM

Functional Overview


The ACME SNOWSTORM, like its companion fixture the STORM, is not like any other fixture on the market. This extremely bright combination blinder and effects light offers a wide range of effects and looks through its main section of lights and effects rings.

The main light section of the unit has 10, 100-Watt warm white LEDs and 12, 1.5-Watt RGB LEDs embedded under each of the ten lenses. The outer ring for each lens in the main light section has 24, 0.5-Watt RGB LEDs. The STORM produces over 30,000 lumens, has a fixed beam angle of 4°, offers a variable strobe and colors for endless effects. Unique to this fixture is the way it emulates traditional tungsten lamps when dimming, giving it a soft glow at the end of the dimming curve.

The fixture mounts in any orientation with via its yoke assembly or supplied omega brackets; both accept most hooks or clamps. Also, users can easily and quickly – through its tool-less connection system – connect multiple units together either top-to-bottom or side-by-side for additional looks.

With its ten bright blinders, color mixing, effects, and more, the SNOWSTORM offers so much flexibility for your production.
