Chauvet Professional introduces the ColorDash Par Q12 IP. “The new RGBA LED wash delivers bright, colorful, flicker-free light indoors or out, regardless of weather conditions, thanks to its IP65, outdoor/wet rating (pressure equalizing M12 GORE valve), Powerkon IP65 power cord and IP-rated DMX connections,” according to the company release.
“Anyone who lights festivals, amphitheater productions or other outdoor events will find the ColorDash Par Q12 IP to be an invaluable addition to their inventory,” says Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. “Outdoor projects have become more common, particularly with the growth of festivals. When you work outdoors, you are going to get bad weather from time to time, but these fixtures are protected against rain damage.”
In addition its IP rating, the ColorDash Par Q12 IP is designed for intense output and realistic color rendering. Powered by 12 8.4-watt RGBA LEDs, the latest addition to the ColorDash line has an output of 865 lux at 5 meters. It also has a color temperature range of 2800 to 10000 K, and advanced optics for effective color mixing.
Adding to the versatility of the ColorDash Par Q12 IP are selectable smooth dimming curves, designed to eliminate choppy fades, and 20⁰ beam angle for broad wash coverage. The fixture has adjustable PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for flicker-free output, designed for lighting recorded events.
A double bracket yoke allows the versatile ColorDash Par Q12 IP to be flown on truss or be positioned on the floor. The fixture has a compact size for applications where stage space is at a premium.
The ColorDash Par Q12 IP has an OLED full text display with password protection and a touchscreen interface. Finally, the fixture also has direct power and DMX connections to promote easier setup and tear down.
