ADJ upgrades Focus Spot Two
- Details
ADJ’s Focus Series is a range of LED-powered moving head luminaires designed to offer the best possible combination of brightness, feature-set and build quality in the small-to-medium class. Since its launch in 2016, the series has proven immensely popular with both lighting designers and installers looking for compact, potent and reliable fixtures for events and installations. It has also been a big hit in the mobile entertainment market, with the Focus Spot Two winning the Pro Mobile magazine award for Lighting Product of the Year in 2018.
The new Focus Spot 2X features a 100W cool white LED light-source - increased from 75W, is highly efficient and offers an operational life of approximately 50,000 hours. The light output from the LED is concentrated through an advanced optical system to create a seriously impressive beam that is capable of cutting through ambient light to generate striking mid-air effects and impactful surface projections.
As an added bonus, the Focus Spot 2X is also equipped with a separate 3W UV LED. This is independently controllable and means that the fixture can also be used to bathe a stage or venue with atmosphere-enhancing ultraviolet light.
The Focus Spot 2X features multiple operating modes, making it suitable for a wide variety of different applications. For an easy ‘hands off’ lightshow, the unit is pre-programmed with four dynamic built-in shows, which can be set to run at a set speed or triggered by the beat of the music. Multiple fixtures can then easily be linked using XLR cables for an easy-to-setup synchronised lightshow.
For advanced control, every one of the fixture’s extensive set of features can be fully utilised through DMX. A choice between two DMX control modes is offered - 16 or 18-channel - and mode selection, as well as DMX addressing, is facilitated by an intuitive backlit LCD display screen on the front of the unit.
“The Focus Spot Two has proven to be extremely popular over the past three years for a wide variety of applications,” explains ADJ USA’s national sales manager, Alfred Gonzales. “However, we are committed to ensuring our products always represent the best of what is available on the market. This means that, as LED technology continues to develop, now was the right time to enhance the fixture with a more powerful light source.
“The new Focus Spot 2X model offers all the key features of the original - motorised focus, replaceable indexed rotating GOBOs, separate colour wheel and a UV LED - together with the addition of a six-facet linear prism alongside the existing 6-facet circular prism. Together with the powerful new 100W LED engine, we are confident this means the Focus Spot 2X remains the leading moving head spot fixture in its class.”
