Bauer SPL-LED-3000IP Super Nova1000W IP Moving Head Strobe Light

1000W IP65-rated LED strobe, wash, blinder, and chaser with 8-zone white and 16-zone RGB control, 180-degree tilt, and up to 61 DMX channels for outdoor festivals, nightclubs, and rental production fleets.

The Bauer Super Nova 3000IP is a 1000W IP65-rated multi-function LED fixture combining strobe, wash, blinder, and chasing effects with 8-zone white and 16-zone RGB control for outdoor festivals, nightclubs, bars, and rental production companies. Its dual LED engine pairs 144 white LEDs at 7000K across eight independently controllable sections with 576 RGB LEDs across sixteen sections, delivering high-intensity strobe and full-color wash from a single fixture. A 120-degree beam angle provides wide blinder and wash coverage, while 180-degree tilt with 16-bit precision enables smooth vertical positioning for audience-facing hits and overhead washes. Four DMX modes from 8 to 61 channels scale from basic strobe control to full per-zone addressing, with built-in effects accessible via DMX or onboard menu. With IP65 weatherproofing, Tru1 pass-through power, and a 50,000-hour LED source, the system handles exposed festival stages and indoor nightclub rigs alike with the Bauer Super Nova 3000IP.

Dual LED Engine: 8-Zone White and 16-Zone RGB

The Bauer Super Nova 3000IP houses two independent LED arrays: 144 white LEDs at 5W each and 7000K across eight controllable zones, and 576 RGB LEDs at 0.5W each across sixteen zones. The white array delivers high-intensity strobe and blinder output, while the RGB array provides full-color wash with per-zone mixing for chases, gradients, and pixel-style patterns. Linear dimming and a 1-to-25 Hz strobe apply to both arrays independently. For nightclubs and bars where strobe hits and saturated color washes alternate throughout the night, this dual-engine design covers both from one fixture position.

Strobe, Wash, Blinder, and Chasing Effects

The fixture operates as four tools in one: a high-output white strobe, a full-color RGB wash, an audience-facing blinder, and a multi-zone chaser. Built-in macros via DMX or the LCD menu provide ready-made chasing patterns, color transitions, and strobe sequences without custom programming. The 120-degree beam angle fills large stage areas and audience sections with even coverage for blinder and wash duties. For rental houses building versatile inventories, this four-in-one functionality reduces fixture counts on a plot while covering effects that would otherwise need separate strobe, wash, and blinder units.

180-Degree Tilt with 16-Bit Precision

The Bauer Super Nova 3000IP provides 180-degree tilt rotation with 16-bit fine control for smooth, precise vertical positioning. This range covers audience-facing blinder angles, downward stage washes, and overhead effects from a single mounting position. For outdoor festival stages and nightclub installations where fixtures are mounted on overhead truss, the tilt range and 16-bit resolution ensure accurate, repeatable positioning across programmed cue sequences.

Multi-Mode DMX Control with Up to 61 Channels

The fixture offers four DMX modes — 8, 14, 18, and 61 channels — over 5-pin XLR (or 3-pin), scaling from master strobe control to full per-zone white and RGB addressing. Master-slave synchronization and auto-run programs support standalone operation, and an LCD display with four buttons provides on-fixture access to addressing and effect programming. For rental companies deploying strobe arrays at festivals and nightclub technicians programming zone-based chases, the four-mode structure matches control depth to the application.

IP65 Weatherproofing, Tru1 Power, and Build Quality

Rated IP65 for protection against dust and water jets, the Bauer Super Nova 3000IP operates reliably on exposed festival stages and in dusty outdoor environments. At 13.7 kg (30.2 lb) and 515 by 196 by 270 mm, the fixture maintains a manageable weight for truss-mounted arrays. Tru1 connectors provide secure locking power with daisy-chain capability at 1000W, and the 50,000-hour LED lifespan reduces replacement costs across large inventories. For rental companies deploying strobe arrays outdoors and nightclub operators maintaining permanent rigs, the IP65 rating and Tru1 pass-through simplify deployment.
