Making the most of high-efficiency Chip On Board (COB) technology, ADJ's new COB Cannon Wash is a super-bright wash/par combo fixture that gives end-users the freedom to create both far-reaching color washes and, using the included lens kit, more focused par effects. These attributes reportedly make it a versatile fixture for lighting many types of services, performances and events that take place in a modern house of worship.
The COB Cannon Wash utilizes a single 150W quad-color (RGBA) COB LED, allowing users to produce evenly distributed washes with no shadows in vivid, crisp colors, for results that are truer than those achieved with regular multi-LED units, the company reports. In addition to COB technology, the unit's 80-dgree beam angle lets users generate wide-reaching washes that will submerge the entire congregation in color, whether vibrant oranges and pinks or more-subdued hues such as lilac, amber and warm-white. For times when a tighter beam angle is required for more-concentrated effects, ADJ has also included two easily replaceable lenses, allowing the beam angle to be reduced to 40-degree or 50-degree for a denser par-style beam.
Flexibility & Possibility
This flexibility, enabling both rich palettes of color and variation in beam angle, makes the COB Cannon Wash a winning solution for houses of worship, helping lighting designers and staff to produce a unique atmosphere for prayer. However, as well as acting as a wash or par fixture, the COB Cannon Wash can also be pixel-mapped, so users can easily spread striking effects across multiple fixtures to generate eye-catching animated displays that can be tailored to suit the theme of a service or to add excitement to a musical performance, ADJ reports. This capacity for pixel mapping also means that the fixture can be used in conjunction with the AV6 video panel and pixel-control fixtures to create one coherent visual that runs across multiple panels and lighting effects.
Whatever size venue you work in and whatever style of service you opt for, the COB Cannon Wash is a game-changing but cost-effective par/wash unit that is practically tailor-made for use in modern places of worship.
For an ultra-modern look, end-users can trigger LED pulse and strobe effects to add energy to performances where drama and positivity is needed. On the other hand, when users need something more relaxed, the brightness and intensity of the unit’s 150W COB LED can be quickly controlled and adjusted using the 0%-100% electronic dimming.
Users also find a range of options when it comes to controlling the COB Cannon Wash, which offers built-in programs, including color change and strobe effects, and a selection of 64 built-in color macros for vibrant static color washes. Exploring greater creative possibilities, church techs can run the fixture in DMX-controlled mode, which features 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10-channel options for a detailed lightshow that can also be extended to include multiple units through DMX-linking. Alternatively, operating the fixture using the separately sold ADJ UC-IR wireless remote control provides users with a simple-to-use solution that lets even the most inexperienced lighting tech enjoy control over primary features, settings and effects.
Well-suited to lightshows on the road, community events and similar applications, the COB Cannon Wash is housed in sturdy but lightweight protective casing, making it resistant to damage and durable enough to take along when end-users are running events off-location but want to utilize the same widespread color lighting. This casing also comes in both black and white options, the latter of which may be better-suited to church needs if a sanctuary’s interior décor is that of a lighter color or if users want lighting fixtures to be more discreet during worship.
This adaptability is also helped along by the COB Cannon Wash’s dual yoke, which lets users mount the fixture on truss or set it on the ground—so the positioning can be adapted to suit the setup inside a church or match the theme of an event or service. Mounting just one COB Cannon Wash above the seating or stage will flood a large area, while adopting multiple units into a setup will reportedly ensure a wholly immersive wash of the entire sanctuary, for maximum effect. Meanwhile, when setting the fixture on the ground, its wide beam angle and built-in color change programs make it ideal for lighting the back of the stage, washing the walls and illuminating architectural features in lush hues.
Due to its low weight (9 pounds) and compact size, end users will reportedly also find that it’s easy to move and to install numerous COB Cannon Washes, no matter how limited the space inside a church. Daisy-chaining the power for these multiple fixtures is also possible, thanks to the unit’s IEC in/out connections on the rear, allowing for an extensive venue-filling setup.
Whatever size venue a church tech works in, and whatever style of service is opted for, the COB Cannon Wash is a game-changing but cost-effective par/wash unit that is practically tailor-made for use in modern places of worship, according to ADJ. Utilizing high-output, quad-color COB LEDs and ultra-wide beam angles, users not only get unrivaled power and flexible color creation, but the ability to craft mesmeric pixel-mapped effects and submerge the whole church in light, for the unifying experience that makes worship so special.
