Versatile Strobe, Blinder, and Wash Power in One Panel
The ADJ Jolt 300BW is a high-output hybrid fixture designed to deliver strobe, blinder, and color wash effects from a single compact panel. It combines 144 x 1.5W RGB SMD LEDs for vibrant color chasing and strobing, with an additional 144 x 0.5W white SMD LEDs at the center to deliver powerful white bursts reminiscent of a traditional blinder. With an extra-wide 120° beam angle and zoned RGB section control, this fixture is built to cover large surfaces with smooth color fades and dynamic pixel-based effects.
Onboard control options include 6 dimming curves, adjustable gamma (1.0–2.8), and selectable LED refresh rates from 900Hz to 25kHz, ensuring flicker-free operation across broadcast, tour, and theatrical environments. With eight total DMX channel modes and full compatibility with ADJ’s UC IR remote, this fixture offers a range of programming depth from plug-and-play to fully mapped show control.
Mechanically, the Jolt 300BW is built for both truss and ground deployment. It includes a scissor yoke and omega bracket, locking power and DMX I/O, and a built-in USB port for firmware updates. Whether used as a blinder row on stage or a zone-mapped wash on truss, the Jolt 300BW delivers performance-grade flexibility in any environment.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:
- Touring strobe/blinder for live concert rigs

Control Modes for the ADJ Jolt 300BW
The Jolt 300BW offers a range of control options to suit both simple and advanced programming setups. With eight total DMX channel modes—4, 8, 10, 10a, 12, 15, 18, and 18a—the fixture scales easily for single-effect programming or full pixel-level strobe control. Each mode unlocks progressive access to zone chases, dimming curves, strobe behavior, and macro playback.
Dimming is handled through six selectable modes (Standard, Stage, TV, Architectural, Theatre, and Stage 2), while dim speed is adjustable from 0.1 to 10 seconds—ideal for syncing to music or scenic cues. The unit supports full 0–100% dimming, along with strobe pulse, ramp, and random functions.
The fixture’s onboard LCD menu with 4-button navigation gives fast access to all configuration settings, including LED refresh rate adjustment (900Hz–25kHz) and gamma correction (1.0–2.8). The Jolt 300BW is also compatible with ADJ’s UC IR wireless remote for basic standalone triggering.
LED Engine & Pixel Zone Logic
The Jolt 300BW utilizes a hybrid layout of 144 x 1.5W RGB SMD LEDs for colorful washes and zone chases, paired with 144 x 0.5W cool white SMD LEDs at the center to deliver high-intensity blinder and strobe effects. This RGB/white separation allows designers to deploy eye candy patterns and blinder bursts simultaneously without compromise.
The RGB section is split into 3 independent zones, ideal for motion-style effects and slow fades, while the white SMDs can strobe or pulse in unison. This layout excels in wide visual backlines, truss towers, or rows of floor-mounted panels along stage edges. All LEDs are optimized with a 120° beam angle for broad coverage in open venues or crowd-facing rigs.
DMX Modes, Macros & Gamma Control
The fixture supports eight selectable DMX modes (4, 8, 10, 10a, 12, 15, 18, and 18a), each offering different access to pixel control, macro triggering, and strobe timing. This flexibility lets users scale from plug-and-play setups to fully programmed show files with pixel sequencing.
It comes preloaded with 64 color macros and 32 internal programs for fast deployment and chases. Gamma correction can be adjusted from 1.0 to 2.8 to suit video and theater environments, while LED refresh rate is selectable from 900Hz to 25kHz—ensuring flicker-free performance on camera.
Menu Navigation & Remote Compatibility
The rear-panel LCD display with 4-button menu system provides intuitive access to all key fixture settings. Users can quickly adjust dimming curves, set DMX modes, apply macros, or configure gamma/refresh settings without needing external software.
In addition to DMX, the unit is also compatible with ADJ’s UC IR remote, enabling wireless control over dimming, color modes, and program playback in standalone scenarios. The built-in USB port allows for fast firmware updates without the need to remove the fixture from truss or cases—ideal for rental and touring workflows.
How to Deploy the ADJ Jolt 300BW
The Jolt 300BW is a versatile fixture designed for fast integration into both touring and fixed setups. It comes equipped with a dual-purpose scissor yoke that allows for traditional upright positioning or inverted mounting on truss. A rear-facing omega bracket slot is also included, supporting quick attachment with compatible clamps for suspended rigs or custom array builds.
Thanks to its compact form factor and high output, the Jolt 300BW performs exceptionally well when used in multiples for horizontal blinder walls, vertical strobe stacks, or as a centerpiece strobe wash on DJ booths and risers. Its powerCON-style locking in/out connectors allow for reliable daisy-chaining of up to 4 units at 120V, minimizing cable clutter across stage lines or truss grids.
For mobile DJs and rental houses, the lightweight 10.5 lb chassis ensures fast load-in/out and flexible placement—even when floor standing. Add the UC IR remote for standalone triggering, or integrate into a full DMX universe for advanced cueing and pixel mapping.
The locking AC and DMX connectors make this fixture a reliable candidate for permanent installs and quick-change festival rigs alike.
