Following the success of ADJ’s Encore Burst 200, its popular high-intensity twin warm white LED-powered blinder, the company is pleased to announce the expansion of the Encore Burst Series with the introduction of three new single LED wash fixtures. Each model features the same sleek IP-rated casing and flexible multipurpose bracket, while offering a different powerful LED engine designed with a specific lighting application in mind.

The Encore Burst 100 IP features a potent 125W warm white CREE C.O.B LED and has a wide 50-degree beam angle making it ideal for use as an audience blinder or general wash fixture. This extremely punchy unit has a color temperature of 2700K and also offers a dim-to-warm feature that authentically replicates the dimming profile of a traditional halogen lamp light source by introducing a 1200K (amber) low intensity LED element at lower dimmer settings. In addition, the model offers variable speed strobe and pulse effects which add to the flexibility of this professional lighting fixture.

Also designed for use as a versatile wash or audience blinder / strobe effect, the Encore Burst RGBW IP offers the added creative potential of full red, blue, green and white color mixing. Harnessing the power of a 150W CREE C.O.B 4-in-1 RGBW LED light source and also offering a wide 50-degree beam angle, this versatile fixture can be used to bath a stage or crowd in an almost limitless choice of colors as well as for creating powerful multi-colored strobe effects.
