American DJ Launches Micro Wash WWCW

American DJ's has new Micro Wash WWCW is an ultra-bright mini white LED PAR can that weighs barely more than 1.5lbs, yet can produce variable color temperatures ranging from 3,000 degrees K (warm white) to 6,000 degrees K (cool white).

The latest addition to American DJ's Micro Series of mini lighting effects, the Micro Wash WWCW contains four 1W warm white and three 1W cool white LEDs. The company says the unit's ability to provide a variety of white-look looks, combined with its small size of under 7" long, make it especially suitable for table or cake spotting, retail displays, performance stages, mobile entertainers, small clubs, and more.

"Don't let the small size of the Micro Wash WWCW fool you. This is a powerful LED par that has a full spectrum of variable warm white/cool white color-mixing capabilities," said Alfred Gonzales, national sales manager for American DJ.

"Based on the overwhelming response to our Micro Series of mini-size fixtures, there is a strong demand for very small, lightweight and affordable lights," Gonzales added. "This is why we have added a variable white LED wash to this series. One of the really great things about the Micro Wash WWCW is that despite its small footprint, it has all the features you would expect to find on a full-sized LED PAR -- from DMX control to dimming."

Offering the versatility of both manual and DMX operation, the Micro Wash WWCW features 19 built-in white color macros, a 10-degree beam angle, strobe effect, and 0-100% electronic dimming. It can be run in five operational modes: DMX-512 mode, sound active mode, macro mode, auto mode, and manual color mode. When operated with a DMX controller, there are two different channel modes to choose from: three- of five -channel. A three-button LED display on the rear panel provides easy access to the fixture's modes and settings.

The Micro Wash WWCW includes a dual hanging bracket system that allows it to be set on the ground or mounted on truss or a light stand, further increasing the fixture's versatility. Multiple Micro Wash WWCW units can be linked together via three-pin XLR cables for use over a larger area.

The company reports the unit can run 10,000 hours without burning out, while consuming only 15W of electricity at maximum use. Because LEDs are cool-running, the unit can stay on all night without duty cycles and won't emit uncomfortable heat onto stages, dance floors, and displays. Its flicker-free LEDs are also suitable for film and video applications, the company says.
