ADJ expanded its range of professional moving head luminaires with the launch of the new Vizi Wash Z37. This high output LED-powered wash fixture is a versatile lighting tool designed for professional touring and one-off event production as well as permanent installation in large nightclubs, concert venues and houses of worship.
The Vizi Wash Z37 features variable motorised zoom, allowing for a beam angle of between 10 and 60-degrees. This wide zoom range means that the same fixture can be used to saturate large areas of a stage or crowd with vibrant colour washes as well as spotlight specific performers or features. Set to its narrowest beam angle, the fixture can also be used to create strikingly sharp mid-air beams, with the ability to add further impact using the unit’s variable speed strobe and pulse effects (1–40Hz).
Harnessing the power of 37 separate 20W 4-in-1 RGBW (red, green, blue and white) Osram LEDs, the Vizi Wash Z37 generates a truly massive output. It measures a huge 15,000 lux @ 4M when the beam angle is set to 10-degrees and an equally impressive 1100 lux with the beam angle zoomed out to 60-degrees. Each LED offers an average lifespan of 20,000 hours of operation, which means that lamp replacement should never be a concern. The LEDs are also positioned behind a precision-engineered lens array which generates a uniform wash and removes colour shadows.
The unit’s 37 LEDs are arranged into four concentric circles. The outer of these rings is split into four separate sections, while the middle two rings are each split into two sections. This makes for a total of 9 independently controllable zones, which allows for the creation of split colours as well as animated ‘eye candy’ effects.
With 16-bit fine motor control, the fixture is capable of both extremely rapid motion and also impressively smooth slow movement. It features a wide tilt range of 270-degrees and pan range of 540-degrees, while also offering a number of ‘Target Modes’ that can be used to limit the head’s motion on one or both axes for applications where the fixture’s output needs to be restricted to within a certain area.
The unit offers both 3-pin and 5-pin data input and output connections, allowing for easy integration into any existing DMX control system. It features locking Seetronic power input and output sockets, which allow the power supply for multiple units to be daisy-chained together. The rear panel is also home to an on-board USB port that can be used for easy installation of future firmware updates.
“Joining our Vizi Wash range as the new flagship,” explained ADJ USA’s National Sales Manager, Alfred Gonzales, “the Z37 model is an extremely powerful fixture. It offers a winning combination of vibrant colours, versatile features and nimble movement that are sure to make it a favorite of lighting designers working on a wide variety of projects.
“As with all of ADJ’s professional lighting fixtures, it has been carefully designed and developed, using premium-quality components, to ensure a high level of reliability. This is backed up by ADJ’s strong commitment to customer service and support, provided through our well trained and experienced service teams both here in the US and at our European facility. If you are a lighting professional looking for a powerful and flexible wash fixture, either for a specific project or to add to your hire stock, I’m confident that you’ll be impressed by what the Vizi Wash Z37 has to offer.”
ADJ’s Vizi Wash series also includes the Z19 model, which was released earlier this year. Offering the same versatile feature set, this version is fitted with 19 x 20W 4-in-1 RGBW Osram LEDs packed into an extremely compact moving head that is ideal for applications where space is limited but a potent and flexible wash fixture is required. The two units together make a formidable pairing, ideal for when lighting designers require both large-scale and compact wash fixtures for use on the same project. By pairing the Z19 and Z37 units, they can achieve uniform colour mixing as well as a coherent aesthetic, since the two fixtures share the same casing design.
