American DJ Launches Mega Flash DMX

American DJ has introduced the Mega Flash DMX, a DMX-compatible strobe light with 800W of output. Compact and pocketbook-friendly, the Mega Flash DMX outstrobes similar fixtures in its price range by as much as a brightness factor of four.

"DJs won't have to pay megabucks for the Mega Flash DMX," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. "Its suggested retail price is just $149.95, which is comparable to many 200Wstrobes on the market today. So this brilliant new 800W fixture represents an awesome value for DJs, night clubs, bands, and lighting customers everywhere."

The Mega Flash DMX is the product of cutting-edge lighting technology that allows for enormous amounts of added wattage without all the excess weight associated with older designs. Small and compact, the fixture weighs a mere 5lbs. and comes with a durable, high-tech plastic case that protects it from damage during transport, setup, and breakdown.

The Mega Flash DMX lets users change strobe speeds and adjust dimming from 0-100% via a standard DMX lighting controller. Speed- and dimming-control knobs are also located on the rear of the unit for DJs who want to operate the Mega Flash DMX without a controller. The fixture also can be set to operate in sound-active mode, in which it will flash along to the beat of the music.

"Bands and DJs have always relied on the power of the strobe light to kick their gigs up a notch," Davies said. "Everyone needs a strobe as part of their light show, and the Mega Flash DMX is one that will surely make its presence felt."

The Mega Flash DMX measures 4"L x 15.5"W x 8.5"H and weighs just 5lbs. The unit comes standard with an 800W ZB-800 lamp. The suggested retail price of the Mega Flash DMX is $149.95.
