Status, November 2026: current. ADJ lists the Jolt 300 among its current blinders and strobes on its European product page.
What it is
The Jolt 300 is ADJ's multi-use strobe and eye-candy fixture. A centre strip of 144 x 0.5 W cool-white SMD LEDs at 6,000 K gives the traditional strobe look, and 144 x 1.5 W RGB SMD LEDs on either side add colour strobes and washes, all through a 120° beam. Its manual splits the face into three zones, each with its own red, green, blue and white control.
On its own it runs 32 built-in programs on auto or to sound, with linked units following a master in master/slave mode. Under DMX it takes 4 to 18 channels over 3-pin and 5-pin XLR, with six dimmer curves and an LED refresh rate adjustable from 900 Hz to 25 kHz. Locking power and DMX pass through to the next unit, and a USB port takes firmware updates.
The box holds an omega bracket, a quick-lock omega bracket, a locking power cable and ADJ's UC IR remote. The manual says to secure it with a safety cable when it hangs and to leave 15 cm between it and a wall.
Both video reviews call it extremely bright: one reviewer points it down or at the ceiling, and a Thomann owner runs two in a club at about 60%. Both reviewers find set-up from the unit fiddly, one for the slow, confusing menu, the other for the IR receiver. The strobe lights guide sets out the UK Health and Safety Executive's recommended flash-rate limit for clubs and public performances.
