LED Source & Optical Precision in the Storm 4 SoloWash

The Maverick Storm 4 SoloWash features a single 1,250W cool white LED source engineered for high-output wash performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Calibrated to a native color temperature of 7464K with a measured output of 78,300 lumens, this fixture easily handles stadium-sized applications. The front lens diameter of 225 mm allows for exceptional field coverage, and the unit delivers an illuminance of 162,410 lux at 5m (narrow zoom), maintaining 4,798 lux at 5m at full zoom. The beam cutoff angle ranges from 15.7° to 74.1°, while the motorized zoom covers a wide 7.1° to 74.1° range for flexible wash geometries.

• Selectable PWM frequencies from 600 Hz to 15 kHz support broadcast-grade flicker control.
• Motorized iris and motorized frost allow designers to sculpt output for precise beam shaping or soft-edge diffusion.
• True single-source optics eliminate multi-shadow artifacts common to LED arrays.

This optical engine delivers the high punch and smooth fade curves needed for film, broadcast, and concert-grade wash applications.

CMY + CTO System and Color Wheel Configuration

The Storm 4 SoloWash is equipped with a fully variable CMY + CTO mixing system that enables a seamless blend of pastel, saturated, and correction colors. A dedicated color wheel offers five additional fixed colors, including CRI and CTB filters for broadcast and camera applications. This system ensures precise color control with minimal loss of output.

• Color Wheel: 5 fixed positions plus open (includes CRI, CTB)
• CMY Flags: Smooth fadeable color transitions
• CTO Flag: Adds variable warmth control
