The company has introduced the Q-Wash 419Z LED, a high-output RGBW moving head wash fixture that provides the power and design tools to adapt to a wide range of projects - including a flexible 7°-25° zoom and zonal LED control -- yet also fits comfortably into the budgets of lighting pros and their clients.
Designed for the production, touring, theatre, nightclub, installation, corporate and rental markets, the Q-Wash 419Z LED will create attention-grabbing high-definition color wherever it's used, says the company.
That's because it is "filled to the brim with powerful LED emitters - a total of 19 x 15-watt RGBW (red, green, blue, white) LEDs - which produce a brilliant 3,046 lux at 5m (narrow beam)". Not only is the Q-Wash 419Z LED impressively bright, its four-in-one LED configuration, which includes white diodes, along with a colour temperature range of 2,800 to 10,000K, give it the ability to blend a limitless palette of smooth, rich colors. This allows users to create just the right hue for any application -- from variable whites, to the palest pastels, to the most vibrant jewel tones -- with no annoying RGB shadows to distract from the visual mood.
The Q-Wash 419Z LED's professional zoom feature gives it even more versatility. Users can adjust its angle from 25° for a wide-surface wash to a drawn-in 7° for a more concentrated beam effect. Another of the Q-Wash 419Z LED's features that goes beyond the typical colour wash fixture is its 3-zone LED control. The individually-controlled LED zones, along with the unit's built-in color macros, provide tools for creating stunning "eye candy" effects, anytime you want to dazzle the crowd with extra sizzle.
"We're undergoing a visual revolution of sorts, where people today expect to see colored lights and special effects not only in cutting-edge nightclubs and large concert tour productions, but in everyday applications like company banquets, local theaters and neighborhood bars," said Mike Graham, product manager for Chauvet Professional.
"The Q-Wash 419Z LED was designed to address this growing demand for high-quality professional-calibre lighting for a variety of mid-size applications. It's a compact unit that puts out a tremendous amount of light, creates fabulous colors, and offers pro features like a 7°-25° variable zoom and zonal LED control. It's very versatile, and at the same time, it's also a great value, making it an ideal flexible and affordable solution to the real-world needs of today's lighting professionals."
The Q-Wash 419Z LED fits into a variety of user operational requirements, offering five different DMX profile options: 8, 10, 21 (two) or 24 DMX-channel modes. It features multi-voltage operation (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) and is easily linkable via standard powerCON connectors; up to five units can be linked at 120V, and up to nine units at 230V. The unit also includes three- and five-pin XLR connectors.
