Black Box Rackmount Light with Dual 5W Panels

Introducing the Black Box Rackmount Light, a compact, purpose-built illumination solution designed for professional environments where every watt of light counts and discretion is essential. Engineered to fit neatly into a standard 19-inch rack, this panel houses two bright 5-watt bulbs and combines them with a precise dimmer rheostat for seamless brightness control. The result is clean, dependable lighting that helps technicians, stage crew, and A/V specialists work with clarity in dark cabinets, theaters, control rooms, and other dim venues without drawing attention from an audience. With a 6-foot (1.8 m) power cord, you gain flexible placement options—whether you’re illuminating a back-of-house workstation, outlining wiring paths in a multimedia cabinet, or providing subtle task lighting during a live production. The design emphasizes efficiency, space-saving rack compatibility, and reliable performance, making it a practical upgrade for any setup that demands targeted, adjustable light without glare or spill into the surrounding space. This dual-light panel is purpose-built to sit flush in a rack that already manages a crowded array of equipment, delivering the right amount of light exactly where it’s needed while preserving the visual integrity of the main stage or display area.

• Dual 5W lighting panels: two compact light sources provide focused, reliable illumination for work surfaces, wiring notes, and equipment details without overpowering adjacent displays.
• Dimmer rheostat for precise control: smoothly adjust brightness to create the ideal balance between visibility and ambient darkness, essential for patching, tuning, or on-the-fly lighting changes during performances.
• 6-foot power cord for flexible placement: offers broad reach to power sources and convenient routing through racks and cable management systems.
• 1U rack-space footprint: slim, unobtrusive panel that fits into standard 19-inch racks, preserving valuable rack real estate for gear without compromising access or airflow.
• Theater- and multimedia cabinet-ready: designed to illuminate backstage work areas, control rooms, tech desks, and dark venues where subtle, controllable illumination improves accuracy and workflow without distracting an audience.
