beamZ Pro SB400IP - High Power COB LED Blinder and Strobe for Outdoor Use
The beamZ Pro SB400IP is a high-performance professional lighting solution designed to withstand the most demanding conditions at events and on stages. This powerful unit combines the functionality of a classic stage blinder and a high-speed strobe in a single rugged, IP65-rated die-cast aluminum housing. Its design makes it fully suitable for outdoor use, resisting dust and water to ensure reliable performance on tours, at festivals, and for any outdoor production.
At the heart of the SB400IP are four 100W COB (Chip-on-Board) LEDs, each projecting a high-intensity warm white light. This technology not only ensures light output comparable to traditional tungsten floodlights, but also offers a much more uniform and softer light distribution with a wide 48° beam angle. Furthermore, it provides all the advantages of LED technology: significantly lower energy consumption, minimal heat emission, and an estimated lifespan of up to 60,000 hours, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Benefits for the Lighting Professional
The SB400IP has been designed to optimize the workflow of lighting technicians and designers. Its versatility reduces the amount of equipment needed in a setup, saving space, time, and costs. The energy efficiency of LED technology allows multiple units to be connected to the same circuit without risk of overload, while its low heat emission improves comfort on stage for performers. The reliability provided by its IP65 rating offers peace of mind, knowing the equipment will function flawlessly in rain or dusty environments.
Use Cases
This equipment is the ideal choice for a wide range of professional applications. Its power and durability make it perfect for main stages at music festivals and outdoor concerts. In theatrical productions, it can be used to create striking lighting effects and dramatic transitions. Audiovisual equipment rental companies will appreciate its robustness and flexibility, while in large nightclubs or corporate events, it can add an extra level of dynamism and visual energy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the IP65 rating imply?
An IP65 rating means the device is completely protected against dust ingress (the '6') and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any angle (the '5'). This makes it safe for use in the rain.
Can I use this blinder indoors?
Yes, of course. Although it's designed to withstand harsh weather conditions outdoors, its performance and light quality are equally exceptional for indoor applications such as theaters, television studios, or concert halls.
What is COB technology and what advantages does it offer?
COB (Chip-on-Board) is a technology that groups multiple LED chips onto a single module. This produces a more intense, homogeneous light source with a smoother color mix, eliminating the color shadows that individual LEDs can produce.
Do I need a DMX controller to use it?
It's not strictly necessary. The SB400IP has standalone modes, such as automatic programs with adjustable speed and a sound-activated mode. However, for precise control of intensity, strobe speed, and integration with other equipment, using a DMX controller is recommended.
Project description
Stage blinder with IP65 protection rating. The light source consists of four 100W COB LEDs, emitting warm white light. It offers a 48° beam angle and a 74° field angle, with a luminous flux of 17,300 lx at 1 meter. It functions as both a blinder and a strobe with a frequency of 1 to 23 Hz. It supports DMX/RDM control (4 and 8 channels) and standalone operating modes, including automatic, manual, master/slave, and sound-activated. The unit is constructed with a die-cast aluminum housing and utilizes a fan cooling system. It features IP65-rated 3-pin power and DMX connectors. It operates on a 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz power supply.
