ACME Tornado Rental

ACME Tornado Rental – High-Output IP66 Strip & Beam Lighting Fixture

The ACME Tornado rental is a high-performance strip and beam lighting fixture designed for professional lighting rental applications where intensity, precision, and reliability are required. Built for concerts, touring productions, broadcast environments, and outdoor events, the Tornado delivers aggressive visual impact while integrating cleanly into modern lighting control systems.

The fixture features five independently controllable RGBL LED heads, each powered by 120W LEDs, surrounded by an outer ring of 120 RGB LEDs. This dual-source design allows the Tornado to function as a beam fixture, strip light, pixel effect, or hybrid visual element, making it a versatile option for advanced lighting rentals.

With a 13,000-lumen output and a fast linear zoom range of 3° to 30°, the ACME Tornado produces sharp, saturated beam effects capable of cutting through large venues and outdoor environments. The individually addressable pan and tilt heads enable complex motion cues, sweeping effects, and dynamic looks that exceed the capabilities of traditional strip lighting in lighting rental applications.

The fixture supports DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, and sACN, with multiple control modes up to 170 channels. It integrates directly with professional lighting consoles such as the GrandMA3 Full-Size Lighting Console, enabling precise programming, pixel mapping, and timecode-based show control for large-scale lighting rentals.

Designed for real-world production environments, the ACME Tornado features a rugged IP66-rated enclosure, allowing reliable operation in rain, dust, and harsh outdoor conditions. The fixture supports horizontal or vertical mounting, universal working positions, and includes omega brackets and safety attachment points for secure installation in truss, ground-supported, or architectural lighting rental deployments.

Additional professional features include smooth 0–100% dimming with selectable curves, high-speed strobe effects, advanced color macros, and automatic pan and tilt position correction for accuracy during extended runtimes. With a 20,000-hour LED life expectancy and efficient power
handling, the ACME Tornado is built for continuous use in demanding lighting rental inventories.
