ADJ's wireless and weatherproof up lighting system now available with a sleek black finish
The Mirage Q6 Pak Black is the ultimate up-lighting solution. It comprises six feature-packed, battery-powered, wirelessly-controllable, IP65-rated LED wash fixtures supplied in a purpose-built charging road case. Each Mirage Q6 IP Black fixture offers everything the original chrome-finished Mirage Q6 IP units do but with an understated, yet elegant, gloss black outer casing.
Each Element Q6 IP Black fixture features four 10-Watt 4-in-1 RGBA color mixing LEDs, which together generate a vibrant output with an expansive choice of color options. It incorporates a potent rechargeable battery, which allows it to run for up to 40 hours on a single charge, and is encased in an IP65-rated shell, which makes it suitable for temporary use outdoors with protection against the elements (rain, snow, dust, and sand). It also features a built-in WiFLY EXR wireless DMX transceiver and offers a variety of useful features, including a theft protection alarm, integrated kick stand and retractable carry handle. The units are supplied in sets of six together with a custom-built road case which protects them in transit and makes them easy to transport and charge between events.
An 11 position (plus open white) color wheel features a selection on dichroic filters, incorporating a good variety of vibrant color options. The collection of dichroic filters also includes a 3200K CTO color correction filter, which can be used to achieve a warm white output that is ideal for when the fixture is utilized as a stage wash. Multicolored effects can be created through the color wheel scrolling function, which can be activated in either direction and at variable speed.
In addition, the fixture offers two independent GOBO wheels, providing a wide variety of options both for aerial beam effects and textured surface projections. The first wheel features eight slots for indexed, rotating GOBOs. This wheel is supplied pre-loaded with a varied selection of patterns, which have been carefully curated to be useful for a broad range of applications. However, all these GOBOs are fully replaceable and can be easily switched for a Lighting Designer’s preferred options or event specific custom logo patterns. Meanwhile, the second wheel features 15 fixed static GOBOs, which are designed to provide LDs with a useful variety of simple break-apart pattern and mid-air beam effect options, including four beam reducers.
The internal battery is a high-capacity Lithium-Ion unit with an 11,000mAh capacity (typical), which allows for up to 40 hours of operation (single color) between charges. Even with changing colors, the battery life is 20 hours and therefore more than enough for even the longest of events. Between use, it takes just seven hours to return the battery to full capacity. A power button for the unit can be found on its base alongside a large backlit control panel with four corresponding selection buttons. This provides access to a comprehensive and intuitive menu system that can be used for DMX addressing, setting up standalone operation, and for selection of the fixture’s various operational options. The display screen can also be used to check the fixture’s current battery life and an estimation of the charging time required to return the battery to full capacity.
Theft is a genuine concern for production and event companies operating wireless up-lighting. Unencumbered by cables, lightweight and compact, wireless wash lights are an easy target for malicious thieves and intoxicated party guests alike. To combat this, the Mirage Q6 IP Black is supplied with an internal alarm system which can be activated from the control panel. If someone picks up the unit with the alarm system armed, the fixture will emit a beeping sound and strobe in red, immediately alerting technicians, venue staff and other guests that the light is being tampered with.
Weighing just 2.8kg. and fitted with a convenient retractable handle, the Mirage Q6 IP Black is convenient to store, transport and carry. Measuring just 143mm x 143mm x 211mm [L x W x H] it is also compact, making it ideal for introducing splashes of color where space is limited.
Adding to this versatility, the fixtures are supplied in sets of six as the Mirage Q6 Pak Black complete with a custom designed heavy-duty road case. Featuring separate padded compartments for each of the six units, as well as additional space for cables and accessories, the case is fitted with a hinged lid secured by butterfly clasps. It also features tough ball corners, large braked-castors, recessed bar handles and slots on its lid to allow multiple cases to be stacked during transport and storage.
An in-case charging system means that all six fixtures can be charged while stored within their case. This has been developed to be as user-friendly as possible for busy event professionals. There are no cables to attach within the case, the connector on the base of each fixture simply slots onto a charging base in their compartment of the case. A single IP65-rated locking power socket on the side of the case, complete with charge status LED, can then be used to supply charging power to all six fixtures while secured safely inside the case. A power output socket is also included on the side, to allow multiple charging cases to be daisy chained from a single power outlet.
The Mirage Q6 Pak Black is shipping now from ADJ USA and will be available from ADJ Europe in January 2023. The original Mirage Q6 Pak is also still available, offering the alternative option of identical fixtures finished in sleek reflective chrome.
