Gantom Torch debuts at Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show

March 19, 2015 - St. Louis, MO

BlinkFX has partnered with Gantom Lighting & Controls, formerly Darklight Systems, to create a fun new interactive flashlight featuring BlinkFX control technology.  The Gantom Torch is a wirelessly controllable "trick" flashlight that allows haunted attraction operators full control of the Torch through the use of live DMX512 lighting controls or a user-friendly free app called DMX Programmer.  The app allows haunters to quickly and easily set and store a lighting effect scene that triggers the flashlights when they're are in range.  Featuring 24-bit color with a number of special effects macros like candle flicker, strobe and color wheel, the BlinkFX-enabled Gantom Torch also includes a pager motor to allow force feedback vibration for that extra special surprise effect!  

New! Mini DMX control emitter triggers BlinkFX in walk-through attractions

Picture
Measuring just 40mm x 30mm, the new BlinkFX mini control emitter is discreet and nearly invisible once installed. With an adjustable range from 10' to 75', the mini emitter is perfect for triggering BlinkFX in walk-through attractions and shows.
June 7, 2014 -  Columbus, OH 

BlinkFX has partnered with Darklight Systems, the leader in tiny but brilliant DMX lighting, to create a unique new version of BlinkFX DMX control emitters specifically designed to trigger wristbands and wearable LED lights in walk-through attractions and haunted houses.  Darklight demonstrated the newly designed miniature BlinkFX DMX control emitter in their show booth at Midwest Haunters Convention and conducted live examples in two local haunted attractions visited by trade show attendees.  

These cool little controllers are programable in stand-alone mode through an IOS phone app -- so no hard-wired DMX controller is even necessary.  Of course, they're also easy to add to any DMX universe for live or pre-recorded control.  The units may be powered by standard AC power (transformed to DC 9 to 15 volts) or a 9 Volt battery.
