Following the launch of Par Z100 series of par can fixtures powered by modern warm white COB LEDs, ADJ introduces two new models offering RGBW color mixing. Providing lighting and stage designers the look of traditional par cans but with the technological advantages of LED light sources, the Par Z120 RGBW and PAR ZP120 RGBW are designed to provide a modern twist on an iconic lighting fixture.
Both models are housed in metal cases the same size and shape as traditional PAR 64 fixtures. The Par Z120 RGBW features a subtle matt black paint finish for inconspicuous stage lighting. The Par ZP120 RGBW has a polished silver finish for a fixture that becomes part of the set. The units each have measurements of 19.5” x 11” x 9” / 491 x 275 x 224mm (LxWxH) and weigh 8.5 lbs. / 3.9kg.
115W quad-color RGBW COB (Chip On Board) LEDs provide the light source for both units. According to the company’s press release, “This allows for the creation of an extremely wide gamut of colors, with an output comparable to a 1000W halogen sealed beam par.” The LED has a life expectancy rating of 50,000 hours.
The fixtures both offer variable beam angles, for narrow shafts of light or wider washes depending on the required effect. Manual adjustment on the fixture itself allows five beam angle options – 7, 11.5, 16 or 25-degrees – while a gel frame is also included which can be used to introduce diffusion filters (sold separately) to further change the beam angle.
An LED menu on the back panel allows for mode selection and DMX addressing, as well as all of the connection sockets. Professional-caliber locking powerCON input and output sockets allow the power supply for multiple fixtures to be daisy-chained together, while 5-pin XLR input and output sockets allow the connection of a DMX control signal.
A choice of six DMX channel modes – 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 – allow for varying levels of control complexity. In addition to RGBW color mixing and electronic dimming (with a choice of five different dimming curves), DMX control can also be used to trigger a variable speed strobe effect.
The Par Z120 RGBW and Par ZP120 RGBW join three existing models in the Par Z Series. The Par Z100 5K features a 100W white COB LED with a color temperature of 5700K, while the Par Z100 3K offers a warm white 2700K COB LED light source. Finally, the Par ZP100 3K offers the same 2700K LED but housed in a polished silver casing. All of the fixtures in the Par Z Series offer the same authentic par can casing design, which means that the various models can blend into a lighting rig.
“Par cans have been around for decades and remain an essential tool for many lighting designers,” comments ADJ USA’s National Sales Manager, Alfred Gonzales, “however technology has advanced significantly in recent years and it is no longer necessary to use inefficient halogen lamps for stage lighting. That’s why ADJ has developed the PAR Z Series of fixtures which house state-of-the-art COB LEDs within traditional par can cases. This allows a classic stage look to be achieved but with all of the benefits of LED such as low power draw, low or no maintenance, reduced heat (making for a more comfortable experience for performers) and no need for bulky external dimmer racks. This concept proved extremely popular with the original PAR Z100 white light fixtures and I am sure that these new RGBW color mixing models will be equally well received by lighting designers, equipment installers and production companies.”
Offering the classic par can look combined with modern COB LED technology, the Par Z120RGBW and Par ZP120 RGBW are professional lighting fixtures designed for installation in theatres, concert venues, churches and nightclubs, while their robust external case design allows for use on one-off events and touring productions.
