Chauvet
COLORtube EQ
The COLORtube EQ allows users to create unique, music-triggered visual effects. Individual tubes can be addressed to respond to one of 32 frequencies, from bass to treble, and then arranged together to create a pulsating, real-time frequency visualizer.
Sold in four-packs, each 40-inch tube houses a total of 144 blue, red, and green diodes, which have an average lifespan of 100,000 hours. The COLORtube EQ system features 16 pre-set patterns, chases, and color flows, while an optional controller allows users to select specific colors. The tubes are water resistant and power-linkable, and provide silent operation with no duty cycle. –JL

Coemar ParLite LED
The ParLite LED is a compact, RBG color-mixing fixture fitted with 36 1W Luxeon diodes. This luminaire is designed to fit perfectly into a standard 12” x 12” truss, and features a die-cast aluminum body, an auto-sensing internal power supply, and a clever double yoke system which eliminates the need for a special stand when floor-mounted.
The standard ParLite LED has a 12 degree beam angle, which can be adjusted by changing lenses and reflectors. The unit features four built-in color-changing and fade programs, as well as master/slave capability, giving users the option to operate the fixture without a controller. The Parlite LED uses standard PAR56 accessories, is available in black or silver finish, and comes in either IP20 or IP66 water-resistant versions. –JL

Omnisistem E-Color LED Panel
Thanks to Omnisistem, lighting designers can enjoy all of the advantages of color-mixing LEDs, but in a panning, tilting fixture. This moving yoke wash instrument is equipped with 324 individual LEDs – 108 each of red, blue and green – which may be blended together to create any desired hue.
Unlike traditional wash luminaires, the E-Color Panel delivers rich washes of light without running up your electric bill. Power consumption is a modest 90W, and the unit can be operated in stand alone, master/slave, or full DMX mode. Movement can be either 8- or 16-bit, depending on user preference, and the LED panel is fully dimmable. –JL

Pulsar
ChromaStripX3
Pulsar’s new ChromaStripX3 High Power LED strips provide up to three times the power of the company’s existing ChromaStrip2. Finished in sleek, extruded aluminum and available in four different lengths, this fresh, color-mixing LED strip can be used in a wide range of clubland applications – in coves, under soffits, on columns, or attached directly to almost any surface.
The ChromaStripX3 is designed for use with Pulsar’s established ChromaZone technology for power and control. The unit is available with either a 10 or 20 degree beam angle, depending on the chosen LED panel, so designers can choose the appropriate lighting coverage for a given application. The ChromaStripX3 also boasts an IP65 water resistance rating, so it can be safely used in wet conditions. –JL

Robe StageQube 324
The StageQube LED panel is designed for plug and play video wall type applications. Thanks to the panel’s integrated rigging system, even large displays can be constructed quickly. When equipped with an optional foot plate, the system is self-sustaining, and can be flown from trussing or overhead rigging points.
Individual panels feature medium-high resolution, and StageQube arrays can be controlled by any media player or video server. When used with a Robe Media Hub, it can even be controlled via DMX, offering users intuitive control from the lighting desk. The StageQube doesn’t require an external power supply or control box, because all of the panel’s electronics are conveniently located inside its IP54 housing. –JL
