Designed for the creation of piercing aerial effects, ADJ’s new Ultra Beam Bar 12CW is a compact linear entertainment lighting fixture that features 12 cool white LEDs. Each LED generates a narrow beam of bright white light and when all 12 are lit simultaneously the fixture creates a ‘curtain of light’ effect. The LEDs can also be controlled independently, allowing animated chase patterns running across one or more fixtures to be programmed.
The Ultra Beam Bar 12CW features 12 by 20-Watt 6200K (cool white) LEDs which each output a distinct beam of light with a concise 5° beam angle. Smooth dimming control allows each LED pixel to be controlled separately, either via DMX or utilising the fixture’s 13 built-in chase programs. A ‘pixel flip’ mode is also included, which inverts chase patterns to run in the same direction regardless of the orientation of the unit.
A flexible fixture, the Ultra Beam Bar 12CW can be hung, vertically or horizontally, or placed directly on a stage or riser. To facilitate the latter, the unit is fitted with rubber feet, allowing it to shoot its beams vertically upwards. It also features magnetic end caps, which allow two or more units to be placed side-by-side and precisely aligned. The fixture’s pixel pitch is 85.5mm, which remains consistent when two fixtures are aligned using the magnetic system, allowing for a continuous run of pixels to be created using any number of units. The fixture is also supplied with a pair of variable-angle mounting brackets, which attach to the end caps with thumb screws and can stand directly on the floor, mount to a wall or ceiling, or attach to clamps for truss mounting.
Locking power and 5-pin DMX input sockets are located at one side of the fixture, while the corresponding output sockets are positioned at the other side, allowing for neat and concise cable runs. The power output socket allows up to 32 fixtures to be linked to a single outlet @ 230V (17 @ 120V). The unit also features a dedicated lens slot, which can be used to install a 40-degree frost filter (sold separately) to diffuse the output and create a homogenized wash output in place of the defined individual beams.
“Featuring powerful 20-Watt cool white LEDs, the Ultra Beam Bar 12CW creates intense beams that look incredible on a haze-filled stage or nightclub dancefloor,” commented ADJ USA’s Director of Sales, Alfred Gonzales. “With full pixel control, it offers huge creative potential to lighting designers, while its compact, lightweight and flexible design make it easy to integrate into any house rig or touring production.”
The Ultra Beam Bar 12CW is available now from ADJ USA and it is due to begin shipping from ADJ Europe next month (November 2024).
