Chauvet Pro STRIKE Bolt 1C Description

The STRIKE Bolt 1C pushes the boundaries of what a strobe can do. It combines two high-powered cold white strobe tubes with a center strip of RGBA LEDs to offer rich color washes, pixel-style effects, and piercing flashes. Unique among strobes, it features electronic Smart Frost—an integrated glass panel that can instantly switch between a sharp beam and a frosted field, providing unmatched flexibility in a single fixture. This unit excels in touring and live production environments with its magnesium alloy housing and IP65 rating for temporary outdoor use. Multiple rigging options—including hanging points, floor feet, and end-to-end connection—allow for seamless integration into custom arrays using Chauvet’s Tool-Free Stacking system. Use it alone, link it with other STRIKE Bolt or STRIKE Array units, and craft impactful blinder walls or creative wash effects. The stealth filter, included in the box, minimizes the fixture’s visual footprint on camera, making it ideal for broadcast and film. With multiple DMX modes, 18-bit dimming, and selectable PWM up to 64,000 Hz, the STRIKE Bolt 1C is equally suited for fast-paced live shows and precise studio setups.
