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, and we are going to tell you everything you need to know.
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. That means killer effects, rich colors, and enough brightness to light up just about anything.
Volux FLARIS 1XK Color Mixing
The FLARIS 1XK features three color mixing plates with red, green, blue and Warm White LED chips. And let's talk about that warm white—this is the only strobe we know of that offers a dedicated 3000 kelvin warm white chip.
Why does that matter?
You get an authentic warm white blinder effect.
Expanded Color Temperature control and emulation.
Saturated colors that actually feel rich and deep.
The ability to mix a truer white, without those aggressive blueish hues.
This is what sets this fixture a part from the pack. You can get that IP rated strobe and color punch from just about anywhere these days, but can you get that nice warm white?
The choice to go with three color plates is nice, giving you a more cohesive aesthetic when looking straight at the fixture. Its almost as if you lose the tubes when they're off. And with 24 pixel-mappable zones, the creative possibilities are endless.
Volux FLARIS 1XK Strobe Light
Now, let's talk strobe power. 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, meaning you get maximum punch from every angle. You're looking at 96 pixel-mappable zones, giving you the ability to program the most nuanced sparkle effect in the game.
Volux FLARIS 1XK Specificatations
But wait—there's more. Here's what else you need to know:
180 degrees of motorized tilt for precise aiming.
Built in effect macros for both the color mixing plates and strobe elements.
It's IP65-rated, making it perfect for outdoor gigs.
Alignment pins make multi-unit setups a breeze.
It's lightweight—coming in at under 15 kg.
And it's CM4 coastal approved, so yeah, it can handle tough environments.
From Us
So here's our take: The FLARIS 1XK is almost a legit wash fixture. Aside from a tiny bit of fraying when using the color plates, you could easily use these for top or back washes in a rep-style lighting plot. The brightness is what draws you in—but it's the warm white that'll make LDs fall in love. Come for the brightness, stay for the warm white.
When you stack up everything the FLARIS 1XK brings to the table—expanded color mixing real estate, FOUR pixel-mappable strobe elements, IP65-rated durability, and most importantly, that dedicated warm white chip—this fixture isn’t just another strobe/wash. It’s actually a unique creative tool that lets you pull off some unique, dynamic looks.
