LOS ANGELES — ADJ’s new Pixel Pulse Bar is a linear strobe/wash LED fixture that produces washes and uplighting effects with 15 x 3-watt 3-in-1 RGB TRI LEDs. It also comes equipped with the added feature of 5-zone pixel chase effects. Users can highlight five different colors on the fixture and create a spectrum of energy-driven chase effects for a pixel-controlled lightshow.

With the 5-zone pixel control, the Pixel Pulse Bar allows entertainers and designers to be more creative and gives them the power to enhance and broaden the scope of their lightshows without adding multiple units to their lighting arsenal, said Alfred Gonzales, ADJ national sales manager.
“The Pixel Pulse Bar is a very unique and versatile LED color strobe/wash fixture because of its ability to create 5-zone pixel chase effects,” said Gonzales. “It pulses, it washes, it chases. You can do radically different things at different times—depending on what your lighting needs are at any given moment.”
For example, the Pixel Pulse Bar’s flexibility makes it ideal for DJs and clubs who need to set different lighting moods during an evening. The color wash function can create an elegant ambience, say, during a ceremony, cocktails or dinner, then ramp up the energy with fast-paced strobing and a full chasing 5-color pixel-controlled lightshow once the dance floor starts to heat up later on. The user can also display the fixture horizontally or vertically, which gives added versatility and better coverage options when the chasing feature is engaged.
Whether used as a wash, strobe or chase effect, the Pixel Pulse Bar generates RGB colors. Its 3-watt 3-in-1 (red, green and blue) LEDs use advanced Tri-Color technology for smoother color blending, more vibrant tones, and the elimination of “fuzzy” RGB shadows.
The fixture offers DMX-512 operation with three DMX channel modes (1, 4 or 7 channels), and 3-pin and 5-pin DMX In/Out. DMX addressing can be changed on the fly via the 4-button LED display located on the unit. Users can also run the Pixel Pulse Bar in Sound Active Mode using its many built-in programs, set up multiple units in a Master/Slave configuration for wider coverage, or operate it remotely with the easy-to-use ADJ UC3 hand-held controller (sold separately). The unit includes 0-100 percent dimming, plus strobe and chase speed control.
Maintenance-free and cool-running, the Pixel Pulse Bar’s LEDs have a long life rating and draw 61 watts at maximum use. The energy-efficient fixture also offers multivoltage operation: AC 100V–240V, 50/60Hz. Multiple Pixel Pulse Bars (up to six units at 120 volts, or up to 10 units at 230 volts) can be daisy-chained together using the IEC AC In/Out connectors on the rear of each unit.
The Pixel Pulse Bar includes a dual scissor yoke and safety hook, so it’s easy to install the unit securely. It’s also easy to transport, weighing only 8 lbs./3.2 kg. and measuring 15.5″L x 7.25″W x 3.5″ H/ 388 x 178.5 x 82mm).
