ADJ Launches Vintage X Billed as offering a retro aesthetic combined with modern LED technology, ADJ's new Vintage X is a decorative blinder with a distinctive octagonal casing and four amber LED strips with color-mixing background glow LEDs. The unit's vintage-style textured background reflector accentuates the output from both LED types, while its heavy-duty bracket and flexible design mean it can be integrated into stage or venue lighting designs in various ways. The four 60W amber LED arrays share a color temperature of 2,000K. Arranged in an X-shape, they effectively emulate the glow of traditional tungsten blinders and offer independent dimming control for creating animated chase patterns. Sixty-four 3W RGB color-mixing LEDs are arranged around the perimeter of the fixture, illuminating the reflector to generate vibrant background glow effects. All the LEDs can be controlled individually using the fixture's highest channel mode, allowing animated color chases to be applied to the background effect. The unit features robust metal construction and a relatively low weight of 18lb. Its hanging bracket locks into place using a pair of large plastic thumb tightening screws. The bracket can prop the fixture up on the floor or rig it, either standing upright on a tripod or vertical pipe or hanging down from a truss or lighting bar. The rear of the fixture is fitted with Omega clamp receivers (clamp sold separately). It also features a coffin locking system built into the top, bottom, and side edges of its casing. These can be used to securely link together up to eight Vintage X units to create impressive fixture arrays. A large backlit digital display on the rear of the fixture allows for convenient setup and DMX addressing. It features five-pin DMX input and output sockets but is also equipped with the new Aria X2 wireless management and control system. This allows cable-free DMX control as well as remote fixture management and OTA (over the air) firmware updates via Bluetooth using the Aria X2 BLE app. "The Vintage X is a distinctive and versatile fixture that pairs an old-school look with modern LED technology," comments Alfred Gonzales, US director of sales. "By uniting the potent primary amber LEDs with the vibrant color-mixing background LEDs and taking advantage of the individual pixel control offered by each, lighting designers and programmers can generate a vast collection of varied scenic looks and effects. Whether used as a striking focal point or seamlessly integrated into a larger rig, the Vintage X gives lighting pros a unique tool to make their productions stand out." The Vintage X is shipping now worldwide from ADJ USA and ADJ Europe. For more information, www.adj.com/products/vintage-x | www.adj.eu/vintage-x.
