Full product details
The Showtec Matrix 5x5 Blinder is 25 warm-white LEDs in a square grid, each one controllable on its own. Hit them all at once and it is a classic audience blinder; run patterns across the grid and it becomes a retro pixel effect, and a wall of them behind a band or a stage reads like a sheet of tungsten light without the power draw.
What it is for
- Audience blinders and end-of-song hits at concerts
- Retro pixel walls behind bands, DJs and on award stages
- Warm-white washes with a vintage look for galas and fashion shows
- Matrix animations mapped across a rig of fixtures
- Camera and broadcast work, thanks to flicker-free operation
How it is used
Multiple DMX channel modes cover simple dimmer control through to full per-pixel control, so a desk with pixel mapping can chase, wipe and animate across a rig. It is compact and quick to rig on truss or on the floor, and the LED source keeps the output bright and the power low.
What it pairs with
The rest of our retro lighting range, pixel-mapped fixtures such as the GLP X4 Bar 10, and our lighting designers to programme the looks on grandMA or Avolites.

Hire questions
Showtec Matrix 5x5 Blinder hire FAQs
Can each LED be controlled separately?+
Yes. In the full DMX mode every one of the 25 LEDs has its own channel, so patterns and animations run across the grid.
Is the Matrix 5x5 safe for camera?+
Yes. It operates flicker-free, so it suits filmed and broadcast events.
How many do I need for a pixel wall?+
It depends on the width of the stage and the look. A row of eight to twelve reads as a wall; tell us the stage size and we will design the rig.
