Now you can run your lights . . . and run around anywhere you want, on (or off) the stage or dance floor. American DJ has introduced two remote control LED color par cans, PRO38B LED RC and PRO64B LED RC, and two remote control LED color bars, Mega Bar 50RGB RC and Mega Bar LED RC, which can be operated from distances as far as 15’/4m away (direct line of sight).

Each of the four fixtures comes packaged with a hand-held wireless infrared American DJ LED RC remote controller that gives users command over functions that would normally require a DMX controller or the operation of an onboard control panel by hand. The controller’s advanced sensor technology goes well beyond the typical Blackout function to give users remote access to a wide array of features – including selection of built-in programs, Auto Run (automatically running through all built-in programs), Strobe Effect, DMX Mode selection, Sound Active Mode selection, and controlling the speed of functions such as strobing and Auto Run. You can even perform RGB color mixing and DMX addressing remotely from the other side of the room with a push of the controller’s button!

“All you do is aim the infrared remote at the fixture, and total control is at your fingertips,” said Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. “You can change colors via RGB mixing, change the DMX addressing, or even designate a fixture as a “slave” in a Master/Slave configuration – all from a distance of 15’ (4m)!

“Freedom of movement is a growing demand among lighting users today,” added Davies. “Entertainers, DJs, stage performers and production engineers want to be able to move around the room or stage without having to remain in a specific spot to control their lighting. Our new RC LED par cans and color bars let you have this freedom, while keeping the degree of control you’d expect to have with a DMX controller or onboard control panel.”

Ideal for stage lighting, musicians, DJs, and mobile entertainers, the PRO38B LED RC, PRO64B LED RC, Mega Bar 50RGB RC and Mega Bar LED RC offer many stellar features apart from their wireless remote controllability. Projecting extremely bright light and offering smooth RGB color mixing, they emit very little heat, making them great for adding color to venues where a cool, comfortable temperature is desired for performers. They’re also virtually maintenance-free with long-life LED lamps, plus they’re super energy-efficient. Here’s a closer look

PRO38B LED RC and PRO64B LED RC – A Par 38 and Par 64 black RGB LED par can respectively, both of these high-output remote control fixtures offer a great way to light up stages, dance floors and entertainment venues – “hands off” from anywhere in the room. Featuring smooth RGB color mixing with fast or slow color changes, built-in color macros, color strobing and 0-100% dimming, they can be operated in 6 modes: Manual Color Mode; Color Change Mode; Color Fade Mode; Auto (Program Run) Mode; Sound Active Mode; or DMX-512 Mode.
