ADJ releases Hydro Wash X7
- Details
This versatile 280W LED fixture packs a host of features into a compact housing, making the luminaire suitable for one-off events and concert touring as well as permanent installation in large nightclubs and other entertainment venues.
The latest addition to ADJ’s Hydro Series of IP65-rated professional moving head fixtures, the Hydro Wash X7, harnesses the power of seven 40W Osram 4-in-1 (RGBW) LEDs. Each LED can be controlled independently, which allows for the creation of dazzling ‘eye candy’ visuals through full pixel-mapping. The unit also offers motorised zoom with a wide range of between 6° and 40°. This makes the fixture equally suited to generating large washes of punchy saturated colours as it is to creating narrow solid beams ideal for impactful aerial effects.
With its IP65-rated casing, the fixture is designed for safe use outdoors in all weather conditions. Protected from rain, dust and dirt, it can be used reliably for events, concerts and productions anywhere from dusty deserts to rainy fields. However, it’s not only outdoors that the Hydro Wash X7 has the potential to shine. Used indoors its IP65-rated shell protects the fixture from dirt, dust, drinks and haze residue to prevent build-up on internal components and therefore offer a prolonged operational life and reduced maintenance requirement.
“The Hydro Series is really making waves in the industry,” explains ADJ USA’s national sales manager, Alfred Gonzales, “opening up the possibility of IP-rated moving head fixtures to a wide variety of production companies and installers. Not only are they ideal for festivals and other outdoor events, where the possibility of adverse weather is always a concern, but they also offer reduced maintenance requirements and increased reliability because their internal components are protected from dust, dirt and moisture. The new Hydro X7 wash unit is the perfect companion for our existing Hydro X1 and Hydro X2 beam fixtures, meaning that the series now offers a complete IP-rated moving head solution for concerts, festivals, events and nightclubs.”
The Hydro Wash X7 joins two additional IP65-rated moving heads that are already available as part of the Hydro Series. The Hydro Beam X1 is a compact beam fixture harnessing the power of a 100W Osram Sirius HRI discharge lamp, while the Hydro Beam X2 is a large beam unit that generates an intense shaft of light thanks to a combination of precision-engineered optics and a potent Osram Sirius HRI 370W LL discharge lamp.
