ADJ Lighting is introducing the new Focus Profile, an automated profile luminaire powered by a 400W LED light engine. Taking its place as the new flagship model in ADJ’s Focus Series of LED-powered moving heads, this new fixture is being touted as the brightest and most feature-rich fixture in the range to date.
“Offering the excellent build quality and value for money for which the series has become known and a versatile array of creative features, it is designed for theatrical, concert touring and event production applications,” according to the announcement.
The Focus Profile features a 400-Watt LED light engine, with a native color temperature of 6,700K, which is designed for an output of 20,000 Lumens and an average life expectancy of 20,000 hours. “After being manipulated by a variety of beam shaping tools, the light generated is focused through precision optics and a large front lens to create a punchy output with a CRI in excess of 70, which can be further increased to 87 using the included CRI filter,” the release states.
The fixture’s collection of beam-shaping tools begins with four rotating framing shutters, with shape rotation, which can be used to create custom shapes and to manipulate the light output for illuminating very specific areas on stage. Further manipulation of the output is provided by a motorized zoom function, which can be used to alter the beam angle between 7 and 45-degrees. An even narrower beam can then be achieved utilizing the motorized iris, with 16-bit fine control, which also offers automated pulsing effects.
The unit offers full CMY color mixing, with 16-bit control, allowing Lighting Designers to select the right color for a given scene or look. In addition, variable CTO color temperature control allows for white light illumination between 2700K and 6700K. The fixture also offers an additional color wheel with six dichroic filters comprised of four primaries (red, green, blue, yellow) together with CTB and CRI filters.
The fixture offers a motorized focus feature that can be used to ensure GOBO projections are razor sharp or to deliberately blur out the beam to create soft-edged looks. In addition, the unit is supplied fitted with a medium frost filter that can be used to soften the edges of the beam even further. This filter is replaceable and can be switched for the supplied heavy frost filter to allow the fixture to serve as a wash light when required. Completing the Focus Profile’s repertoire of beam-shaping tools, the fixture also features two independent indexed rotating prisms: 3-facet circular and 6-facet linear.
A full color reversible LCD menu display, with six corresponding push buttons, is located on the front panel of the fixture. It facilitates DMX addressing as well as customization of the fixture’s various operating parameters. The unit offers a choice of three DMX Channel Modes (36 / 40 / 51), with the simplified options still providing access to all of the fixture’s key features but without fine control over certain functions. The unit also boasts a USB service port, located on the front panel, which can be used to load future firmware updates.
Locking power input and thru connections are included on the rear panel, allowing the power supply for multiple fixtures to be connected to a single outlet. The rear of the unit is also home to both 3-pin and 5-pin DMX input and output sockets as well as RJ45 ethernet (Art-NET) input and output connections, allowing the fixture to integrate into any existing DMX system. In addition, it supports the RDM protocol which allows for remote DMX addressing and the feeding back of fixture operating status information to a compatible DMX control solution.
With measurements of 25.6” (651mm) x 15.7” (400mm) x 10.2” (260mm) [L x W x H] and a weight of 61.2 lbs. (27.75kg), the Focus Profile is designed as a substantial fixture that is also portable. Pan and tilt locks prevent unwanted movement of the head during transportation, while side bar handles aid with lifting and rigging. Large rubber feet mean that the unit can be placed directly onto a stage or riser, while the supplied pair of omega brackets can be attached to allow for truss mounting.
“The Focus Profile is a significant step forward in the evolution of ADJ’s product range,” comments ADJ USA’s National Sales Manager, Alfred Gonzales. “Our customers have been asking for an LED-powered profile fixture for some time. However, instead of rushing a fixture to market, our R&D team have worked diligently to ensure the Focus Profile is the best profile luminaire in its class that can be found on the market today. It is without a doubt our most feature-packed fixture to date and has already generated a huge amount of interest and pre-orders. We can’t wait to get the fixture out to our customers and see the creative ways they utilize it for their shows, tours, installations and events.”
The Focus Profile is shipping now from both ADJ USA and ADJ Europe. To learn more about the Focus Profile visit: https://www.adj.com/focus-profile
