Weatherproof 3-in-1 Beam/Spot/Wash Hybrid Lighting for Tours, Clubs, and Outdoor Shows
The ADJ Hydro Profile is a rugged IP65-rated LED moving head built to handle beam, spot, and wash duties in all-weather environments. Featuring a massive 660W cool-white LED engine (7,000K), this flagship fixture delivers extreme output with a flat field and high CRI quality—ideal for festival stages, stadium installs, and film-ready performance venues.
Color rendering is handled by a CMY color mixing system with variable CTO and a dedicated CRI boost filter, giving you precision tuning for everything from high-energy club sets to theatrical stage wash. A 6°–45° motorized zoom supports aerial beam mode or wide-angle wash flexibility—made even more dynamic with onboard frost, 4-blade framing, and dual overlapping prisms.
Full-frame shutter control with 60° rotation gives lighting designers complete beam sculpting capability, while the rotating and static gobo wheels expand textural possibilities for both subtle transitions and high-impact effects. An animation wheel adds dimensional movement for theater, broadcast, or EDM visuals. Every feature is accessible via DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, or Kling-Net.
With an IP65 rating, the Hydro Profile stands up to dust, rain, and extreme outdoor conditions, making it a true go-to for rental fleets, production companies, and lighting designers who refuse to compromise. Built-in wireless CRMX compatibility and multi-protocol support ensure flexible deployment across complex touring and install ecosystems.

Control Modes
The ADJ Hydro Profile offers extensive control options to integrate seamlessly with professional lighting networks and standalone rigs alike. Users can operate the fixture via DMX (19, 27, 32, or 40-channel modes), RDM, Art-Net, sACN, or Kling-Net. The onboard full-color TFT menu system allows intuitive navigation through all modes, with address, dimming, fan speed, calibration, and test functions accessible directly from the fixture.
- DMX Control: Multiple channel modes from basic to full-feature for optimized mapping across controller types.
- RDM Compatible: Remote Device Management support for diagnostics and addressing over DMX networks.
- Art-Net & sACN: Supports long-distance data over Ethernet with full node integration.
- Kling-Net Enabled: Easily map pixel-based effects from video servers or software platforms.
- CRMX Wireless Ready: Internal module supports optional LumenRadio CRMX for wireless DMX reception.
Optical & Beam Engine Design of the ADJ Hydro Profile
At the core of the Hydro Profile is a high-efficiency 660W LED engine delivering 25,000 lumens of raw output through a precisely engineered optical path. Its flat-field projection and native 7,000K color temperature make it ideal for both front-of-house throw and gobo projection applications. The 6° to 45° motorized zoom ensures tight beam punch and wide wash coverage from a single fixture—eliminating the need for dedicated beam-only or wash-only heads.
The dual rotating and static gobo wheels, combined with iris and frost features, give the fixture exceptional creative control, whether you're chasing aerial FX, textural backdrops, or theatrical scene looks. The light's output remains consistent and flicker-free across dimming curves, supporting both film and broadcast environments.
Framing Shutter and Animation FX Engine
The Hydro Profile includes a full four-blade motorized shutter system with full individual blade control and +/-60° rotation, enabling exact beam shaping for keyed-out scenes, gobo masking, or projection mapping workflows. Each blade moves smoothly and holds position with no drift, ideal for cue-critical environments.
In addition to its framing engine, the fixture features an animation wheel that adds rotational or indexable texture effects, perfect for club visuals, scenic projection, or mimicking fire/water/gobo drift. Used in tandem with prisms and frost, it opens up a massive library of layered visual looks without external media servers.
Wireless and Multi-Protocol Integration
The Hydro Profile is built for modern touring and install ecosystems, supporting both wired and wireless control standards out of the box. It includes native Art-Net and sACN compatibility for direct IP-to-fixture control, along with traditional 3-pin and 5-pin DMX I/O. The fixture also supports Kling-Net for pixel-based video mapping, making it adaptable to multimedia installations and synchronized lighting displays.
An internal CRMX module slot allows users to add LumenRadio wireless DMX reception, cutting setup time and reducing cable clutter in truss-mounted or architectural deployments. This makes the Hydro Profile not just a powerful mover, but a flexible node in larger smart lighting systems.
How to Deploy in the Field
The Hydro Profile is optimized for both truss-mounted and ground-stacked setups, with IP65-rated connectors and housing allowing use in any weather. Its dual Omega bracket system supports quick rigging onto standard truss via ¼-turn clamps. For club installs or corporate theaters, the fixture can be inverted or base-mounted using its locking feet and adjustable yoke position.
- Touring Rigs: Use clamps with safety cables for high truss hangs; angle framing for targeted gobo projection or aerial FX.
- Outdoor Stages: Rig directly on exposed truss with no rain protection required; fan and seal design allows full airflow while preventing water ingress.
- Theatrical Installs: Base-mount on catwalks or install positions; lock shutters for static cues or subtle scene transitions.
- Broadcast Applications: Use with CRI filter engaged and CTO dialed to 3,200K for studio-consistent lighting temperature.
- Permanent Installs: Integrate with Art-Net or sACN over long-run CAT5; daisy-chain power and data with IP65 connectors for minimal cabling.
