ADJ announces the release of its new Par Z Move lighting fixture. Building on the existing Par Z range of zooming pars powered by COB LEDs, the new model incorporates a moving head base. The flexible fixture offers a combination of output and features designed for a wide variety of applications, including theatre productions, concert tours and installation in houses of worship.
Offering pan and tilt ranges of 540-degrees and 200-degrees respectively, the Par Z Move’s beam can be altered to point in any direction. It features 16-bit pan, tilt refinement and variable motor speed to allow for creation of energetic and subtle animated effects.
The Par Z Move features motorized zoom, which allows its beam angle to be remotely altered between a narrow 9-degrees and a wide 43-degrees. This means that it can be used for a variety of different purposes, including key lighting, moving beam effects and far-reaching stage washes. The fixture’s optics allow for an even projection field, regardless of beam angle, with no central dark spot.
Utilizing a 200W warm white C.O.B. (Chip on Board) LED engine, the Par Z Move creates an output suitable for medium-to-large scale venues. It generates a light intensity of 234,685 LUX @ 1m / 9,387 LUX @ 5m when fully zoomed in, which reduces to a 15,391 LUX @ 1m / 616 @ 5m when fully zoomed out. The LED has a color temperature of 3000K (warm white) and a CRI of 96, for applications where video recording is required.
A choice of six dimming curves are pre-programmed into the fixture – standard, stage, TV, architectural, theatre and stage 2 – which allow the unit to be tailored to any specific application. Fade Time can also be altered between 0.1 and 10 seconds on the unit itself, while 16-bit dimming allows for precise control and smooth fades.
The large backlit display screen on the side of the unit makes both mode selection and DMX addressing easy. The fixture offers a choice of three DMX control modes – 7, 9 and 11-channels – as well as a whole host of customizable settings including gamma adjustment, pan/tilt inversion and display brightness/inversion. It is also equipped with a USB port, which allows for quick firmware updates, and is compatible with the RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol.
The Par Z Move has dimensions of 12.5” x 8.6” x 17.63” / 306 x 218 x 448mm and weighs 25 lbs. / 11.3 kg. It can be used in any orientation and is fitted with large rubber feet that allow it to stand firmly on a stage, riser or plinth. A pair of Omega brackets are also supplied in the box, which can be used to attach clamps for rigging to truss, overhead electrics or line sets.
The Par Z Move is a professional caliber fixture designed for both permanent installation and touring projects in theatrical and concert environments. It is equipped with 3-pin and 5-pin DMX input/output sockets, for integration into any existing DMX system, as well as locking powerCON input and output sockets.
The fixture is also equipped with a Silent Mode that will cause the fans only to activate when the LED is illuminated. This is essential for many theatre and house of worship applications when complete silence is required at certain times within a performance or service.
“Our new Par Z Move takes the popular Par Z Series to the next level,” comments ADJ USA’s National Sales Manager, Alfred Gonzales. “By adding a moving head base to a powerful COB LED par fixture equipped with motorized zoom, we’ve created a truly versatile fixture that I’m sure will appeal to lighting designers working in many different sectors. It’s fast movement, impressive optics and narrow minimum beam angle will appeal to rock ‘n’ roll LDs, while its wide zoom range, Silent Mode and extremely smooth dimming will also make it attractive to the theater market.”
The Par Z Move is available now from ADJ subsidiaries, distributors and dealers worldwide. It joins the existing Par Z range, which includes the Par Z100 3K and Par Z100 5K white fixtures and Par Z120 RGBW color mixing unit.
