Cameo THUNDER WASH 100 RGB

Cameo THUNDER WASH 100 RGB — 3-in-1 Strobe, Blinder and Wash Light

The Cameo THUNDER WASH 100 RGB is a 3-in-1 strobe, blinder and wash light designed for DJs, bands and mobile entertainers who want maximum stage impact from a single fixture. Where conventional rigs require separate strobes, audience blinders and wash bars, this model combines all three roles around one shared panel of 132 RGB 0.2 W SMD LEDs. The result is a small, lightweight unit that can drive an entire beat-sync moment on its own or slot into a larger DMX rig without cluttering the truss.

Rated at just 30 W of power consumption, the fixture stays cool enough for enclosed booths and long festival sets, while the black metal housing and universal mounting bracket keep installation straightforward. For any operator asking whether one panel really can replace three lights, the THUNDER WASH 100 RGB answers that question directly: one panel, one bracket, three effects.

What makes the THUNDER WASH 100 RGB different

Most competing strobes in this class deliver a single cold-white flash and nothing else. The THUNDER WASH 100 RGB uses full RGB SMD LEDs, meaning the same 132 LEDs can act as a colour-changing wash, an audience blinder or a crisp strobe without swapping fixtures. Added 3-pin XLR DMX in/out, four-button LED menu and built-in microphone finish out a fixture that works as well in a bar booth as it does on a festival stage.

Light source and beam specifications

The LED panel is the heart of any strobe, and this model uses 132 surface-mount LEDs rated at 0.2 W each in RGB additive colour. Spanning a wide 80° beam angle, the panel fills walls, ceilings and stages evenly without hot spotting, while the adjustable flash rate of 1 to 30 Hz covers anything from a slow breathing pulse to a hard club-style strobe. At only 1.4 kg and 310 x 70 x 70 mm, the panel is light enough to fly on a small bar or truss without extra rigging hardware.

• LED configuration: 132 x 0.2 W RGB SMD — full additive colour mixing from a single panel
• Beam angle: 80° — wide, even coverage of stage, wall or dancefloor
• Flash rate runs from 1 - 30 Hz, giving you anything from a slow breathing pulse to a hard club-style strobe sequence.

Control and DMX capabilities

Control flexibility defines whether a strobe fits into a show or fights it. The THUNDER WASH 100 RGB exposes 8 DMX modes (1, 2, 2+, 3, 3+, 3++, 4 and 6 channel), letting the operator choose between minimal channel counts for simple rigs and full parameter control for complex shows. Dimmer, flash duration and flash frequency are all DMX-controllable, and a 3-pin XLR DMX input + output pair on the rear panel allows daisy-chaining of up to 32 devices on a single control run.

• DMX channels: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 channel modes — flexible setups from simple to advanced
• DMX connectors: 3-pin XLR male in, 3-pin XLR female out — industry-standard daisy-chaining
• Four operating modes — DMX, Master/Slave, Standalone and Sound Control — slot into any rig size from bar booth to festival main stage.

Physical build and electrical specs

Rigours of touring demand solid hardware. The THUNDER WASH 100 RGB sits in a black metal cabinet with a universal mounting bracket included straight out of the box, and the IEC power input supports a global 100 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz mains range so the fixture travels between continents without voltage adapters. At just 30 W rated power draw and 1.4 kg of weight, the unit keeps both power distribution and case loading light.

• Power consumption: 30 W — efficient enough for long sets and tight power budgets
• Operating voltage: 100 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz — global mains compatibility without adapters
• Dimensions: 310 x 70 x 70 mm — slim bar format that fits standard truss clamps
• Weight: 1.4 kg — light enough for single-operator mobile setups
• The black metal housing ships with a universal mounting bracket right out of the box, ready for repeated gigging without extra rigging accessories.

Who this strobe is for

This fixture is the right choice for mobile DJs, solo musicians, small-band rigs and venue operators who need strobe, blinder and wash behaviour from a single compact fixture. Solo entertainers who carry their own rig will appreciate the Sound Control mode and built-in microphone, while clubs and small theatres benefit from the 8 DMX modes that scale up into larger lighting desks. Anyone running a 40 m² room with haze will find the 132-LED panel and 80° beam throw more than enough punch, and the universal mounting bracket plus 1.4 kg weight make the panel friendly for ceiling, truss or floor-stand deployment.

Cameo and the Adam Hall Group

Cameo is a lighting brand under the Adam Hall Group, a German pro-AV manufacturer that builds event technology for DJs, musicians and rental companies worldwide. The THUNDER series sits within Cameo's static lighting catalogue alongside the CLF, ZENIT and FLAT PRO families, and the THUNDER WASH 100 RGB shares its 3-in-1 strobe/blinder/wash concept with larger siblings such as the THUNDER WASH 600. Reviewers of the fixture note the high light output, robust build and accessible menu that characterise the wider Cameo range.
