Claypaky Volero Cube
The new Claypaky Volero Cube is a compact fixture that combines beam, wash, and strobe effects in one versatile moving head. With 4 RGBW 60W LEDs and 64 white 10W LEDs, it delivers 13,000 lumens and a 4°–55° zoom range, giving you the flexibility to create everything from sharp beams to soft washes. Pixel mapping and individual LED control offer creative freedom, while dynamic gobos and electronic CTO expand your color and effect options. Designed for outdoor use with its IP66 rating, the Volero Cube offers reliable, high-performance.

Claypaky Volero WaveÂ
The Claypaky Volero Wave is shaking things up with its unique square head design, packing beam, wash, and strobe effects into one compact, high-powered fixture. Armed with 4x 60W RGBW LEDs and 64x 10W white LEDs, it punches out 13,000 lumenswith a 4°–55° zoom, shifting effortlessly from razor-sharp beams to smooth, even washes.
But here’s where it gets interesting—the Volero Cube is designed to line up seamlessly, creating the look of a continuous batten while still maintaining independent movement. Stack it, link it, unleash it—will the Volero Cube build its way to victory, or get left in the Madness?

Elation Pulse Panel FX
The Pulse Panel FX isn’t just a strobe—it’s a blinder, wash, and pixel-mapped FX machine packed with 100,000 lumens of raw power. With 1,152 RGB LEDs, 432 cool-white LEDs, and a central strobe line, it delivers layered, high-impact visuals like no other.
What sets it apart? 360° continuous pan, 180° tilt, and full pixel control, making it a moving strobe like you've never seen before. With IP65 durability, dual-universe control, and seamless media server integration, this fixture is built for big looks and nonstop energy. Will the Pulse Panel FX electrify the Madness, or will it burn out in the battle?
GLP Impression X5 Bar IPÂ
The GLP Impression X4 Bar set the standard for LED battens—now, the GLP Impression X5 IP Bar takes it to the next level. This IP65-rated powerhouse packs 18x 40W RGBL LEDs, delivering high-output, expanded color range, and refined control for everything from razor-sharp curtain effects to smooth, even washes. With a new squared lens design, the X5 IP Bar ensures a seamless, homogenous beam, maintaining precision from its tightest angles to its widest spreads. As part of the X5 series, it features adjustable white points, tungsten simulation, magenta/green shift, a virtual color wheel, and variable color temperature correction—bringing next-gen flexibilityto an already legendary form factor.
The X4 Bar changed the game—will the X5 IP Bar take the Madness to new heights?
GLP JDC2
The GLP JDC2 IP retains the beloved features of its predecessor but with some fresh revamps. The LEDs inside the iconic strobe have been upgraded, and the surrounding plates are bigger and brighter. The JDC2 IP is, obviously, IP65-rated and durable. It weighs 51 lbs, so it's heavy - but it will still technically attach to a Claypaky Panify. 🤣
What is most impressive about this new drop is under the hood. A revamped firmware features a library of over 100 digital animations (called DigiFX) you can manipulate and modify, the ability to capture and display up to 4 NDI streams, an internal color effects engine, and advanced networking capabilities highlight the new muscle the JDC2 IP has to flex. But that's just the beginning- here is everything we know so far about the GLP JDC2 IP.
Martin Professional Atomic 3000 LEDÂ
It doesn’t move, but it doesn’t need to—the Martin Professional Atomic™ 3000 LED stays true to the legendary Atomic™ 3000while bringing modern LED efficiency and RGB backlighting into the mix. It delivers the same retina-searing brightness that made the original a strobe icon, now with reduced power consumption and built-in color effects for added versatility. Still a staple in rigs worldwide, the Atomic 3000 LED proves that some classics never fade—they just get better. Will it hold its ground in the Madness, or get left in the dust?
Robe iStrobe
Brand new to the Madness, and the world, the Robe iSTROBE™ isn’t just another strobe—it’s the first-ever zoomable strobe wash with independent zoom control across its sections. Packed with 16x 60W RGBW LEDs and 72x 20W white strobe LEDs, it throws everything from tight 13° beams to massive 95° washes—and even the center strobe tube zooms, making it a truly wicked first of its kind. With IP65 protection, precise EMS™ and MAPS™ control systems, and full zonal control, this fixture rewrites what a strobe can do. Is the iSTROBE™ here to shake up the Madness, or will it get left in the past with the old-school strobes?
Robe Lighting Tetra2Â
Robe Lighting Tetra2 is a linear bar that expands upon the technologies used in the Spiider and Tarrantula fixtures. These fixtures are known for producing an ultra-tight 4° beam from each of their 18 pixels, creating a cohesive and bright "sheet" of light that is sought after by many lighting designers. They are designed to enable seamless integration with one another, allowing for the creation of continuous light curtains without gaps between pixels, whether they are mounted on stage or truss systems. Unique to this series are the two Robe patented Multi-Coloured Flower Effects (MCFE™), which allow for distinctive in-air animations.
Volux Lighting Flaris XÂ
Strobe wash units are everywhere right now, and let's be honest—they all kinda blend together. But... we found one that actually stands out. Two words: Warm White. Meet the Volux Lighting FLARIS 1XK. The FLARIS 1XK is a high-powered, IP65-rated strobe/wash hybrid that combines four ultra-bright strobe tubes with three Red, Green, Blue, and Warm White color mixing plates.  The FLARIS 1XK packs four cool white strobe tubes, and they don't mess around. With a whopping 110,000 lumens of output, this thing is outrageously bright—like, 'light up an entire festival stage' bright. Plus, the top and bottom tube placement is designed so they don't get lost within the frame of the fixture.
