Although the X-Move LED's effects are indistinguishable from a conventional moving head to the eye, the unit offers the benefits and ease of LED technology, such as a long 50,000-hour rated lamp life and a low power draw. At 44W, it consumes a fraction of the energy of a traditional 250W effect. In addition to saving energy, this lets the operator hook up more units on a single electrical circuit.
The X-Move LED is also much smaller than a typical 250W effect, weighing only 10 lbs. and standing just 12.5" high. The fixture's compact size allows it to fit virtually anywhere, even in the tightest spaces, and makes it easily transportable for bands, traveling productions and mobile entertainers.
"There are a lot of new LED lighting effects coming on the market, but the X-Move LED is a truly unique technological breakthrough that will take moving heads to the next level," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. "It doesn't just create colored LED beams, it actually produces a hard-edge white 20W beam that's powerful enough to project through colour and gobo wheels and send images and beams around the room, just like a traditional halogen or discharge moving head. So essentially you're getting the same type of effects, but with a big edge in performance, convenience and portability because of the unit's LED technology."
