ADJ announced the immediate availability of its new Focus Flex L19. Featuring the same lime-infused, high CRI, colour-mixing LEDs as its compact sibling, this larger version packs in almost three times the quantity to allow for larger output and pixel-mapped effects.
The Focus Flex L19 feature nineteen high-output 40-Watt RGBL (red, green, blue & lime) colour mixing LEDs. These are arranged in three concentric circles across the face of the fixture and can be controlled independently to allow for the creation of animation patterns as well as for pixel-mapped playback of low-resolution video content. The inclusion of the lime LED chip allows for an enhanced colour palette as well as an improved CRI (Colour Rendering Index) of 84.2 (zoomed out, full on).
The fixture is pre-programmed with 64 colour macros to allow selection of popular options, while 0-100% dimming control of each primary colour allows for selection of specific shades and hues. In addition, a Virtual CMY mode is also available, which allows control alongside native CMY colour mixing fixtures using hardware/software CMY colour picker/palette tools. The fixture also offers white light output with variable colour temperature of between 2700K and 10,000K.
The fixture’s LEDs are positioned behind a textured front lens which focuses the light output as well as protecting the LEDs. The whole assembly is then mounted to a motorised zoom assembly.
On the front of the unit’s base is a large colour LCD display together with 6 navigation buttons, this features battery power as well as a USB port on the front of the unit.
A choice of six different DMX channel modes is offered, ranging from a Basic 22-channel mode, where all the LEDs are controlled in unison, through to an Extended 104-channel mode which groups the LEDs into three independently controllable rings. Alternatively, animated effects can be created in the Standard 31-channel mode using the fixture’s internal Virtual Foreground and Background Colour Wheel feature.
On the rear panel of the fixture are locking power input and output connections, which allow the power supply for multiple units to be connected to a single outlet. The rear of the fixture is also home to 5-pin DMX input and output sockets as well as RJ45 networking input and output connections. In addition to the standard DMX512 protocol, the fixture can also be controlled using ArtNet, sACN or Klingnet to achieve easy integration with any existing lighting control or pixel-mapping system. The unit is also equipped with a wireless transceiver compatible with ADJ’s WiFLY EXR wireless DMX protocol, allowing it to receive a DMX signal wirelessly from a compatible WiFLY transmitter or another WiFLY-equipped fixture over a distance of up to 2500 ft. / 700m (line of sight). The fixture also 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.
The luminaire can be easily tailored to a designer’s personal preferences, or the specific requirements of a particular application, using a wide variety of customisable options. Considering its impressive output, the Focus Flex L19 has relatively compact dimensions of 10.16” x 15.04” x 18.51” / 258 x 382 x 470mm (L x W x H) and a manageable weight of 42lbs (19kg).
“As its name suggests, the Focus Flex L19 is an extremely flexible fixture,” explained ADJ USA’s Director of Sales, Alfred Gonzales. “Its motorised zoom function allows for smooth alteration between an extremely tight 5-degree beam, which will cut through haze to generate aerial effects and a wide 50-degree wash that will cover a large area of stage or crowd. Add to that extremely punchy output, fast movement and full pixel control over each of its 19 LEDs, packaged into a robust fixture that is still extremely lightweight for its class, and you have a versatile lighting tool that creative designers will love to use.”
