Extreme precision and RGB aura effect: the technical profile of the Challenger Beam

28 May 2025

In the latest video on our YouTube channel Audio Effetti Stream, our product specialist Mattia Paccaloni introduces the new Challenger Beam by JB Systems, a 200W LED moving head designed to deliver high-impact lighting effects in demanding environments, from concerts and clubs to installations and live shows.

Equipped with a high-efficiency white LED module, the Challenger Beam produces a very narrow (2.5°), sharply defined and penetrating beam of light. This optical precision makes it ideal for creating intense visual effects, even in large-scale venues. What truly sets it apart is the impressive RGB aura effect surrounding the front lens, which can be controlled independently, an original feature that brings color and motion to the stage, even when the main beam is off.

Featuring a fixed gobo wheel, color wheel, frost filter and 8-facet rotating prism, the Challenger Beam offers a wide range of creative tools, making it a highly versatile fixture suitable for any production setting.

Its modern and intuitive interface includes 16-bit DMX control, master/slave modes, built-in programs and customizable presets. Thanks to its flicker-free operation, it's also perfectly suited for video recording and streaming applications.

Built from high-quality materials and housed in a compact, rugged enclosure, the Challenger Beam stands out for its reliability, creative flexibility and easy transportability.
