The ADJ Hydro Spot 1 is a standout in ADJ's popular Hydro Series of robust IP65-rated automated luminaires. This LED-powered spot fixture is incredibly versatile, perfect for both temporary event production, whether it's a dusty desert festival or a cold, wet winter attraction, and permanent installation in various venues like nightclubs and churches. Its sealed casing protects internal components from dust and grime, reducing maintenance and extending its lifespan. Powered by a 200-Watt cool white LED light engine with precision optics, it delivers punchy output with even coverage. The LED is much brighter than a traditional incandescent bulb using the same power and has an expected 50,000 hours of operation, eliminating the need for frequent lamp replacements. Lighting designers will love its extensive feature set. It has motorized zoom with a variable beam angle of 12° - 23° and motorized focus for sharp pattern projections. There are two independent color wheels with 8 dichroic colors each, including CTO, CTB, and UV filters. A separate GOBO wheel has 6 slots for replaceable, rotating glass or aluminum GOBO patterns. Two rotating prisms (5-facet linear and 6-facet circular) create amazing aerial effects, and two frost filters (medium and heavy) help blur GOBO edges and create a wash output. Key features include motorized focus, 12° - 23° motorized zoom, 2 frost filters, 2 prism FX, 0 - 100% smooth dimming, various strobe speeds, and 2 cooling fans.
Using the ADJ Hydro Spot 1 is quite straightforward. First, connect it to power using the IP65 PowerLock In/Out. You can daisy - chain multiple fixtures if needed. For control, you can use the DMX512 protocol or the internal programs. Use the color LCD display and 6 - button function menu to set your desired options. When adjusting the lighting effects, you can change the beam angle with the motorized zoom, set the focus, select colors from the color wheels, and choose different GOBO patterns. You can also create unique aerial effects with the rotating prisms and adjust the frost level. Remember to keep the fixture in a well - ventilated area as it has 2 cooling fans. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or moisture beyond its IP65 rating. For maintenance, periodically check the internal components for dust buildup, especially if used in a dusty environment. Clean the lens and the exterior regularly. If you need to replace a GOBO, make sure to power off the fixture first. With proper use and maintenance, your ADJ Hydro Spot 1 will provide reliable lighting for a long time.
