ADJ Launches HYDRO Series - IP65-Rated Moving Heads
ADJ's HYDRO Series - IP65-rated moving heads, comprises of a spectrum of fixtures, equipped with a
wide range of unique features
ADJ launched the HYDRO Series - IP65-rated moving heads for spectacular lighting in
any weather. THE
ADJ HYDRO Series is a comprehensive range of IP65-rated automated luminaires that includes all the
major fixture types, most with a choice of size options. every model boasts rugged touring grade
construction and a weatherproof design that means they can be safely used for temporary outdoor
events even when there is risk of rain, snow, or strong winds.
Serving interchangeably as a beam, spot or wash luminaire, the Hydro Hybrid is the latest
addition
to the series, which harnesses the full potential of a potent Osram SIRIUS HRI 420W discharge lamp,
focused through precision optics, to deliver an output of up to 14,416 Lumens. It's expansive
feature set includes CMY colour mixing and an additional 12-position colour wheel, two GOBO wheels
(one with 14 fixed static patterns and one with 9 slots for replaceable indexed-rotating GOBOs), two
rotating prisms on separate planes (8-facet circular and 6-facet linear), motorized focus, motorized
zoom (1.6° - 17.7°: Spot Mode; 3.1° - 39.2°: Beam Mode) and a Frost Filter.
The flagship of the Series is the Hydro Profile, a lighting powerhouse which combines a
potent
660-Watt cool white LED light engine, precision-engineered optics, and an expansive feature set to
deliver crisp projections with a massive output of 26,000 Lumens. Heading up the fixture's
collection of beam-shaping tools is a 4-blade framing system. Each shutter is controlled using two
independent motors, one for each side, which allows the individual blades to be applied at any
desired angle. In addition, rotation of the combined shutter assembly means the shape created using
the four shutters can be precisely positioned. Further manipulation of the output is provided by
motorized zoom (6 ~ 45-degrees), iris and focus, as well as two frost filters options. It features
two independent GOBO wheels, one with 7 indexed, rotatable patterns and the other with 8 fixed
patterns, all of which are replaceable. It also incorporates two indexed, rotatable prisms - 4-facet
circular and 6-facet linear - as well as an animation wheel.
A dedicated beam fixture, the Hydro Beam X12 is a nimble luminaire that has an intense,
razor-sharp
output. It combines the punchy Philips® Platinum 12R LL MSD 6000-hour discharge lamp with a
carefully curated selection of beam-shaping tools. The fixture delivers a huge output of up to
522,000 lux (measured at a 10m distance) and is capable of firing its beam across a vast distance,
creating impressive aerial effects shooting right up into the night sky. A 16-position (plus open)
stamped metal GOBO wheel features a collection of break-apart patterns and simple shapes, including
four beam reducers. These can be kept sharp using motorized focus and have been carefully chosen to
allow the creation of engaging beam effects. The fixture also features a separate colour wheel,
offering 14 options, including CTB (6000K), CTO (3200K) and UV.
Offering an impressive 15,000 Lumen output derived from a potent 320-watt cool white LED engine, the
Hydro Spot 2 is a feature-packed spot fixture. From animation wheel, twin GOBO wheels and two
rotatable prism options (6-facet circular and 5-facet linear), to CMY colour mixing with variable
CTO flag and an additional 7-position colour wheel (including 5600K CTB and High CRI filters), it
offers all the tools a lighting designer could wish for. One of the GOBO wheels allows indexed
rotation, while the other is static, and the rotating patterns are also replaceable. Motorized zoom
allows for a beam angle variable between a tight 8-degrees and wide 41-degrees, while motorized
focus can be used to ensure sharp pattern projections and aerial beam effects or to deliberately
blur GOBOs to create more ambient effects. In addition, two variable frost filter options - medium
and heavy - can be used to further blur projected images or to generate a soft-edged wash output.
The Hydro Wash X19 is powerful and versatile zooming wash fixture. It incorporates 19 x Osram
40-watt RGBW 4-in-1 LEDs, making for an impressive total of 760-Watts. The LEDs offer smooth color
mixing, allowing for the creation of a wide variety of different hues, and are arranged in three
concentric circles. Each LED is individually controllable, meaning pixel-mapped effects can be
generated, with support available for both the KlingNet and Artnet control protocols as well as
standard DMX-512. Linear motorized focus allows the beam angle to vary between a narrow 6-degrees
and wide 40-degrees.
For applications that call for compact fixtures, the Hydro Spot 1 is a small, LED-powered
spot.
Harnessing the power of a potent 200-watt cool white LED light engine, the luminaire delivers punchy
output with even coverage. Its extensive feature set provides lighting designers with a wealth of
creative potential. This starts with motorized zoom, allowing for a variable beam angle of 11° ~
22°, which is paired with motorized focus to ensure pattern projections remain sharp regardless of
distance. The fixture features two independent colour wheels, each loaded with 8 dichroics,
including CTO, CTB and UV filters. It also offers a separate GOBO wheel, which has 6 slots for
replaceable, rotating glass or aluminium GOBO patterns.
Equally compact, the Hydro Wash X7 is a wash fixture which harnesses the power of seven 40W
Osram
4-in-1 (RGBW) LEDs. Each LED can be controlled independently, which allows for the creation of
dazzling 'eye candy' visuals through full pixel-mapping. The unit also offers motorized zoom with a
wide range of between 6 and 40-degrees. This makes the fixture equally suited to generating large
washes of punchy saturated colours as it is to creating narrow solid beams ideal for impactful
aerial effects.
The Hydro Beam X1 is a small moving head that packs a mighty punch. This dedicated beam luminaire is
powered by an Osram Sirius HRI 100W discharge lamp that offers an impressively long operating life
of 6,000 hours. Combined with precision optics and a tight three-degree beam angle, this allows the
fixture to generate a powerful beam that travels over a long distance and is capable of creating a
wide variety of stunning midair effects. Its colour wheel offers a diverse selection of 14 colour
options, including UV and a CTB colour correction filter, plus open white. A second wheel is loaded
with a varied selection of 15 GOBO patterns plus open, which include four beam reducers and the
versatile fixture also features a 16-facet bi-directional rotating circular prism as well as an
independent frost filter.
