Martin VDO Atomic Bold Full Color Blinder Strobe Wash Light B-Stock
The VDO Atomic Bold is a compact yet powerful dual-layer LED fixture that delivers professional-grade output in a remarkably versatile package. Its octagonal design houses both a high-lumen main beam and individually controllable RGB aura backlight, enabling complex creative effects from a single unit. Built for live production, touring, and corporate installations, this fixture handles audience blinding, strobe effects, color washing, and pixel-mapping with equal competence.
Output & Optical Performance
The 400W RGBW LED engine produces 13,000 lumens in boost/strobe mode and 8,000 lumens in continuous operation, delivering serious punch despite the compact form factor. A 12-degree beam angle with a 26-degree field angle provides focused intensity while the 72 individually controllable RGB LED aura backlight adds a second creative layer, allowing authentic tungsten emulation and complex pixelmapping effects.
Build, Control & Integration
The IP65-rated octagonal housing withstands both indoor and outdoor environments, weighing only 9.32 kg (dimensions: 37.1 x 39.4 x 30 cm). Control flexibility spans DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 protocols, with power and data delivered via a single hybrid PDE cable system that supports daisychaining. The smart interlocking mechanics allow seamless array building with other VDO Atomic fixtures, while the PAR64-sized front-accessory holder accepts standard barndoors, diffusers, and lenses.
