Frequently asked questions
Which is better for general concert lighting and wash coverage?
The ERA 300 is purpose-built as a touring profile workhorse with CMY mixing, zoom, gobos, and prism—ideal for dynamic stage wash and effect layering. The Atomic 3000 is a specialized strobe and accent light, not a general-purpose fixture.
What is the main output difference?
The Atomic 3000 delivers 180,000 lumens of strobe output, while the ERA 300 produces 9,500 lumens of continuous light. The Atomic is built for extreme flash intensity; the ERA 300 for versatile, color-mixed coverage.
Can either fixture do color mixing?
The ERA 300 has onboard CMY color mixing for smooth color blends and fades. The Atomic 3000 includes RGB Aura backlight but is primarily a white strobe; it is not a general color-mixing fixture.
Which is easier to transport and rig?
The ERA 300 is compact and lightweight, designed to fit easily into trucks and rigs with minimal footprint. The Atomic 3000 maintains the original Atomic's industrial footprint and is better suited to fixed or semi-permanent installations where its extreme strobe output justifies the size.
