Martin Atomic 3000 LED Strobe with Aura Backlight

Martin Atomic 3000 LED Strobe with Aura Backlight

The Atomic 3000 LED delivers the extreme brightness and iconic industrial design of Martin's legendary Atomic 3000 DMX, now with the efficiency and creative flexibility of modern LED technology. This fixture combines a 180,000 lumen strobe engine with RGB-controlled Aura backlight illumination, functioning as both a powerful workhorse strobe and a sophisticated creative lighting tool suitable for touring rigs, fixed installations, and design-forward productions.

Optical Performance & Brightness

The strobe array features 228 Cree XLamp XP-L 10W white LEDs (5,700 K color temperature) generating unmatched LED-based strobe intensity. Variable flash rates from 0.289–16.667 Hz with adjustable intensity and duration provide precise timing control, while the 8-bit dimming resolution with 6,000 Hz PWM ensures smooth transitions above 16.7% output and silent operation at lower levels.

Design, Control & Integration

The fixture maintains the classic letterbox silhouette and industrial steel/thermoplastic construction of the original, with a 4-button backlit LCD menu for quick adjustments and DMX/RDM control via standard 5-pin XLR connectors. The USB 2.0 port enables firmware updates, while PowerCON TRUE1 TOP AC input and 3/4/14 DMX channel modes streamline integration into existing rigs—the 4-channel mode offers drop-in compatibility with legacy Atomic 3000 DMX setups.
