Overview

About the EK LED Blinder II IP

The EK LED Blinder II IP is a professional outdoor-rated dual-cell LED blinder from EK Lights, a brand now part of the ARRI Group. Carrying an IP65 rating, the Blinder II IP is fully protected against dust ingress and direct weather exposure, making it a reliable and field-proven choice for outdoor festival stages, arena events, and permanent outdoor installations where weather resilience is non-negotiable.

The unit delivers 10,600 lumens from its COB LED source at a warm 2800K colour temperature with a CRI of ≥95, producing a broadcast-quality white that reads naturally on camera and to the naked eye alike. The fan-free magnesium alloy housing keeps the unit completely silent in operation, eliminating background noise concerns in broadcast and studio environments. IP Seetronic power connectors and XLR 5-pin signal connectors provide weatherproof daisy-chain capability for clean, efficient cable management on outdoor rigs of any size.

Control & Performance

The EK Blinder II IP offers six selectable DMX channel modes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8CH) via DMX512 and RDM, with 16-bit dimming resolution across four selectable dimming curves, delivering exceptionally smooth, artefact-free fades from 0–100%. Strobing runs from 0–30Hz, with selectable PWM rates including 25kHz for full compatibility with high-frame-rate broadcast cameras. An OLED display on the rear provides straightforward menu navigation and parameter readout in any lighting condition.

Ideal Applications

The EK LED Blinder II IP is the go-to fixture for outdoor festival stages requiring weather-rated audience blinders, arena front-of-house blinder positions, stadium event rigs, and permanent outdoor venue installations. Its silent operation, IP65 housing, and weatherproof connectors make it equally reliable on a one-night festival and a long-run outdoor installation, while its CRI ≥95 output satisfies the colour accuracy requirements of broadcast and streaming productions.
