ADJ Introduces the Jolt MFX 360

The Vintage Bar effect features a central strip of four powerful 100W amber (1,800K) COB LEDs designed to emulate the warm glow of traditional tungsten blinders.

ADJ has announced the immediate availability of the Jolt MFX 360, a dual-sided linear LED fixture that brings together two distinctive lighting effects in one powerful, motion-enabled design. By combining the atmospheric warmth of a retro-style blinder with the punch and energy of a modern strobe and wash, the new fixture seeks to offer lighting designers a uniquely versatile creative tool capable of transforming any stage, venue, or installation.

Designed to deliver both subtle ambience and high-impact visual moments, the Jolt MFX 360 merges two iconic looks within a single unit. One side generates a warm scenic glow inspired by classic filament-style blinders, while the opposite side produces an intense strobe and color wash effect designed for dynamic, high-energy moments. Fast motorized tilt allows the fixture to flip rapidly between the two faces, while continuous 360-degree rotation opens the door to a wide range of kinetic effects and sweeping visual transitions.

"Lighting designers are always looking for tools that give them more creative flexibility without increasing the complexity of their rig," says Alfred Gonzales, sales director for ADJ USA. "With the Jolt MFX 360 we've created something truly different. It's not just two fixtures combined into one - the continuous 360-degree movement and dual-sided design allow designers to blend classic blinder warmth with aggressive modern strobe energy in ways that simply weren't possible before."

At the heart of the fixture's retro-inspired side is the Vintage Bar effect. This features a central strip of four powerful 100W amber (1,800K) COB LEDs designed to emulate the warm glow of traditional tungsten blinders. Surrounding this core are 140 0.8W RGBL SMD LEDs integrated into a textured reflector, allowing vibrant color to radiate behind the warm blinder output. The result is a rich, atmospheric look that works equally well for stage decor, scenic lighting, and audience-facing moments.

Rotate the fixture, and the Jolt Bar side delivers a completely different visual impact. A dense strip of 448 1W cool white (6,500K) LEDs provides intense strobe effects capable of cutting through even the brightest stage environments. These are framed by 448 0.5W RGB color mixing LEDs that add powerful wash capabilities and bold color accents.

Thanks to fast motorized tilt and continuous 360-degree rotation, designers can transition between warm atmospheric looks and explosive strobe energy almost instantly. The fixture can spin fluidly to create sweeping waves of light, pulse between effects for dramatic accents, or blend both sides into layered hybrid visuals that move dynamically across a stage or venue.

To make the most of these capabilities, the fixture includes a wide selection of built-in macros and effects that enable impressive visuals with minimal programming. Advanced users can also take advantage of pixel-zone control to map intricate patterns and animations across both sides of the fixture, unlocking a deeper level of creative expression.

Further flexibility comes from a lens slot on the Jolt Bar side that allows optional frost filters to be inserted. This softens and diffuses the output when a smoother wash effect is desired, expanding the fixture's adaptability across a wide range of applications.

Built for professional touring and installation environments alike, the Jolt MFX 360 incorporates the Aria X2 wireless management system, enabling streamlined remote setup and cable-free DMX control. The fixture also features NFC configuration capabilities, allowing settings to be adjusted quickly using compatible mobile devices.

For control integration, the Jolt MFX 360 supports DMX with RDM, as well as the Art-Net and sACN network-based protocols, ensuring compatibility with modern lighting systems used in touring productions, theatres, concert venues, and architectural installations.

The fixture's robust construction ensures it can withstand the demands of life on the road, while thoughtful design details enhance ease of use. A practical tilt lock secures the fixture during transport or installation, and magnetic end caps allow multiple fixtures to be aligned neatly when positioned end-to-end, creating striking linear arrangements across stages, trusses, or scenic structures.

The Jolt MFX 360 is available now from ADJ distributors and dealers worldwide.
