Introduction
2. Introduction
Description
The Strike Array 2 is an outdoor-ready audience blinder powered by two 100 W warm white LEDs housed in independently focusable pods. An emulated “amber shift” warms the color temperature of the light as it dims to deliver a classic tungsten look. Its variable PWM and high CRI make it ideal for broadcast applications. Thanks to a custom interlocking system, the Strike Array 2 can be interconnected with multiple Array units for scalable design configurations without any tools. Omega-Bracket locks are also installed both on the yoke and the back of the IP65 blinder to give a streamlined truss mounting process.
Features
· Intense 2 pod blinder/strobe rated IP65 for all-weather use · Emulated “red shift” to mimic incandescent fixtures perfectly. · Individual pan (or tilt, depending on mount orientation) of each head to allow for directional
adjustment of light output. · Innovative interlocking system to connect multiple Strike Array 2s and Strike Array 4s together. · Multiple mounting locations with ¼ turn adaptors for creative and convenient rigging options · 16-bit dimming control for smooth, perfect fades · Strobe functionality for high-impact effects on the fly · Easy to use OLED display · Adjustable Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and RDM (Remote Device Management) for added
flexibility

AC Power
The Strike Array 2 has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
· Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
· To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
AC Plug
The Strike Array 2 comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the cable has no plug or the plug needs to be changed, use the table below to wire a plug.

Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean all lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency. To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power. 2. Wait until the product is at room temperature. 3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents. 4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol. 5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue. 6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface. 7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
