Choosing a beam
| Optic | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 6° or 10° narrow beam | Throws a tight beam a long distance | Tall columns, tower tops, flagpoles, distant targets |
| OptiField wall-wash | Spreads light evenly across a surface | Building facades, walls, signage backdrops |

See how these systems come together in our guides to office tower crown lighting, hotel lighting design and facade lighting repair, or read about control options in DMX vs Art-Net vs sACN.

ColorBlast & Blast FAQ
What is ColorBlast?
ColorBlast is a compact Color Kinetics LED fixture for wall washing and color-changing effects, rated for indoor and outdoor use and controllable over DMX512, from a PC or with Color Kinetics controllers.
What is the difference between ColorBlast and Blast Powercore gen5?
Both are Color Kinetics fixtures for washing surfaces with light. Blast Powercore gen5 is the flood family we stock today, IP66-rated, in IntelliHue, RGBW and eW white versions with narrow-beam or OptiField wall-wash optics. Tell us what you have installed and we'll recommend the right match.
What is IntelliHue?
IntelliHue is Color Kinetics' color mixing approach. The IntelliHue Blast Powercore gen5 fixtures we carry use RGBM LEDs and cover saturated colors, pastels and tunable white from 2000K to 10000K.
Should I choose a 10° beam or OptiField?
A narrow beam throws light a long way, which suits tall columns, towers and distant targets. OptiField is a wall-washing optic for spreading light evenly across a wall or facade. Many projects use both.
