ADJ introduces modular LED par design
- Details
These pars are ‘modular’ in two different ways. First, the main body moves – pulling the LEDs inside the casing – so that a snoot can be quickly and easily created to eliminate side glare if required in a particular situation. Second, the black metal outside casing can easily be removed and replaced with a pearl white housing kit (sold separately). This means that production companies and rental houses can invest in just one set of LED pars but have the flexibility of using them in either white or black depending on the requirements of each event or project.
Four fixtures make up the MOD Series, each with the same pioneering design but with a different configuration of LEDs. The entry-level MOD QA60 features four 15-Watt 4-in-1 RGBA LEDs for a total power output of 60W. Offering a diverse palette of colours, this affordable fixture is designed for a wide variety of stage, dancefloor and architectural lighting duties.
For larger venues and productions when increased brightness is required, the MOD QW100 boasts a total of seven 15-Watt 4-in-1 RGBW LEDs creating a total power output of 105W. The use of a white LED element for this model in place of the amber featured on the QA60 allows for intense cool white washes of light to be created.
Also offering a total power output of 105W, the MOD TW100 makes use of 4-in-1 CW/WW/WW/A LEDs to allow exacting control over the colour temperature of white light washes, making this fixture ideal for stage illumination. As with all LED-powered fixtures, it generates much less wasted heat than traditional stage lighting that utilizes filament lamps. This helps to keep the temperature down on stage, making for a more comfortable experience for performers.
Finally, at the top of the range is the MOD HEX100 which features seven 15-Watt 6-in-1 RGBWA+UV LEDs allowing for an extended gamut of colours including both cool and warm white. The inclusion of the UV element also means that the fixture can create a classic ‘UV glow’ effect when used alone as well as exciting UV-infused colours – such as hot pinks, lime greens and electric blues – when combined with the other LED elements.
All four models feature the same flexible scissor yoke which consists of two separate brackets held together by a pair of thumbscrews. These can either slide together and lock into place to create a single hanging bracket or slide apart to create a variable-angle floor stand. This makes the MOD Series pars flexible fixtures that can be used for venue up-lighting, stage down-lighting and many other applications.
“ADJ has a strong reputation for producing LED-powered pars which combine innovative design, excellent reliability and fantastic value for money,” enthused ADJ USA’s national sales manager, Alfred Gonzales. “Now, with the MOD Series, we’re pushing the boundaries even further. With a completely reimagined casing design, the MOD Series has been created to give lighting designers more flexibility and more power.
“By investing in the MOD Series, lighting professionals will not only have par fixtures that offer unrivalled versatility and brightness, but the unique option to purchase pearl while housing kits for a fraction of the cost of completely separate white-cased fixtures.”
