ADJ is adding two new wash fixtures to its Vizi line of professional moving head lights. Powered by seven 40W quad-color (RGBW) LEDs, the Vizi Q Wash7 offers red, blue, and green LED elements for full color mixing, with an additional white component for stark white illumination. With a combined LED output of 280W, it is designed for installation in big venues as well as for touring and large-scale one-off events.
The Vizi Hex Wash7 incorporates seven 15W HEX (RGBWA+UV) LEDs for a wider color palette. It includes an amber LED element to bring warm white washes to stage lighting, with the addition of a UV component for clubs and EDM events.
Both fixtures feature variable electronic zoom, allowing the beam angle to be altered between a tight 5-degrees and an evenly spread 55-degrees, with applications ranging from churches to theatres and clubs to concert tours.
“As LED technology continues to advance at a rapid rate, we're now able to supply LED-powered moving heads that offer massive light output,” explains ADJ USA's National Sales Manager, Alfred Gonzales. “With the Vizi Hex Wash 7 and Vizi Q Wash7 professional fixtures, lighting designers and equipment installers working in very large venues can now enjoy the benefits offered by LED such as low power consumption and no need for lamp changes. I'm especially excited about these two new wash moving heads. Lighting Designers can choose the powerful 280W quad LED version, or they can go with the vast color palette of the HEX LED.”
Both fixtures provide a 270-degree tilt range and 630-degrees of pan movement (with the option to limit this to 540-degrees on the Vizi Hex Wash7). They incorporate stepper motors for fast sweeps, with 16-bit fine pan and tilt control for slow movements and precise positioning. Both pan and tilt can be inverted to create contrasting movements when fixtures are linked together or to synchronize the movement of multiple units when some are floor standing and others are hanging downwards.
The fixtures offer 0 – 100% master dimming for any selected color, as well as a choice between five separate dimmer curves, each optimized for a different application (Standard, Stage, TV, Architectural & Theatre). They also both feature variable speed strobing and pulse effects, for nightclubs as well as concert lightshows.
The company's press release states, “Offering a choice of two operating modes, both fixtures are easy to get up and running. In Program Mode, they can be set to run through internal preset programs, with multiple fixtures connected together for synchronized master/slave operation. This allows an effective lightshow to be setup very quickly without the need for any programming. The effectiveness of such a setup can also be enhanced using the fixture's pan/tilt inversion option.”
For integration into larger lighting systems, both fixtures offer a choice between two different DMX channel options. The units are each equipped with a backlit LCD screen, to allow access to a menu-driven interface for mode selection and DMX addressing. This LCD menu can also be inverted for installations hanging downwards from a lighting rig.
In addition to compatibility with conventional cabled DMX, both fixtures are also fitted with ADJ's WiFly EXR extended range wireless DMX system. The company release promotes the fact that the fixtures can receive and transmit DMX control signals wirelessly over a distance of up to 2,500 feet (line of sight).
On both fixtures, professional locking powerCon AC sockets are provided for mains power input and output, the electrical supply for multiple heads can be linked together to reduce the amount of cable required to power a multi-fixture lighting rig. The units are also fitted with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets and allow multi-voltage operation (100-230V, 50Hz/60Hz), meaning that they can be integrated into any existing DMX system and are suitable for worldwide touring applications, according to the company release.
The fixtures have black shells with contoured designs and are fan-cooled for prolonged periods of operation. A weight of 19 lbs. / 8.5 kg. and dimensions of 11.75” x 8” x 15.75” / 300 x 200 x 400mm (LxWxH), make them relatively compact fixtures. According to the release, “They are fitted with large rubber feet, for placement directly onto a stage or riser, and are also supplied with Omega brackets to allow truss mounting in any orientation. The units' bases are fitted with large robust handles that can be used to conveniently carry and lift the fixtures for rigging purposes. The Vizi Hex Wash7 and Vizi Q Wash7 are professional-caliber fixtures that are packed with useful features.”
