"Anyone who lights festivals, amphitheatre productions or other outdoor events will find the COLORdash Par Q12 IP to be an invaluable addition to their inventory," said Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. "Outdoor projects have become more common, particularly with the growth of festivals. When you work outdoors, you are going to get bad weather from time to time, but these fixtures are protected against rain damage."
In addition to its IP rating, the COLORdash Par Q12 IP offers designers and production companies multiple other advantages, says the company. Chief among these benefits are its intense output and realistic colour rendering. Powered by 12 8.4-watt RGBA LEDs, the latest addition to the COLORdash line has an output of 865 lux at 5m. It also has a colour temperature range of 2800 to 10000 K, and its advanced optics result in effective colour mixing.
Adding to the versatility of the COLORdash Par Q12 IP are its selectable smooth dimming curves, which eliminate choppy fades, and its 20? beam angle, which provides broad wash coverage. The fixture's adjustable PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) results in a flicker-free output, making it well suited for lighting events that are going to be videoed.
A double bracket yoke allows the versatile COLORdash Par Q12 IP to be flown on truss or be positioned on the floor. The fixture's compact size makes it handy for applications where stage space is at a premium.
The COLORdash Par Q12 IP has an OLED full text display with password protection and a touchscreen interface.
