All-Weather RGBWA+UV Output in a Compact Footprint
The ADJ 12P HEX IP is a rugged IP65-rated LED par equipped with twelve 12-watt HEX LEDs, delivering full-spectrum RGBWA+UV color mixing in a form factor optimized for outdoor mobile use, architectural uplighting, and event installs. The fixture features a fully sealed housing and locking IP65 connectors, making it ideal for environments exposed to rain, dust, or high humidity.
The onboard control system includes full DMX programmability (6CH, 7CH, 8CH, 12CH), static color selection, macro access, and 99 internal auto-run programs—all navigated via the rear-panel LCD menu. With power linking support (6 units @120V) and flicker-free video performance up to 25kHz, it’s built for touring reliability, install flexibility, and media-safe operation.
From elegant uplighting to wash effects that punch through festival haze, the 12P HEX IP blends color quality, output efficiency, and weather resistance in one compact tool. The fixture runs fanless for silent operation and supports dimming curves, gamma selection, and standalone color strobing—all without needing an external controller.

LED Color Engine & HEX Output Performance
The ADJ 12P HEX IP is powered by twelve high-efficiency 12-watt HEX LEDs, delivering deep color mixing and punchy brightness in a weatherproof format. Each diode combines Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, and UV in a single package, allowing smooth fades and custom tones across the spectrum.
- 6-in-1 HEX Diodes: Rich additive mixing with full-spectrum control
- UV Output: Perfect for glow-in-the-dark effects and enhanced white contrast
- 64 Internal Color Macros: Preloaded looks for fast deployment
- Beam Angle: 25° native beam—wide enough for general wash coverage
- Silent Operation: Fanless design ensures zero ambient noise
This engine is optimized for mobile uplighting, stage backfill, façade lighting, and DJ setups requiring consistent color saturation—even in rain, fog, or direct sunlight.
DMX Channel Modes & Trait Structure
The ADJ 12P HEX IP supports four DMX channel configurations—6CH, 7CH, 8CH, and 12CH—allowing precise control over individual colors, macros, dimming, and effect parameters. Whether integrated into a complex rig or used in a standalone DMX chain, the fixture’s trait map is designed for speed and consistency.
- 6CH Mode: RGBWA+UV control + Master Dimmer
- 7CH Mode: Adds Strobe functionality
- 8CH Mode: Adds Macro Speed and Auto Program selection
- 12CH Mode: Full expanded access: Color channels, strobe, macro control, dimming curve, speed, fade, and auto run
The onboard menu also allows direct DMX address assignment and mode selection, with DMX In/Out routed through weather-sealed 5-pin Seetronic connectors.
Standalone Features & Internal Auto Modes
When running without DMX, the ADJ 12P HEX IP offers deep standalone flexibility, including 64 color macros and 99 built-in auto programs. These internal features allow mobile users and installers to deploy vivid static looks or dynamic chases without a controller or console.
- Static Color Mode: Select individual color values or macro presets
- Chase Mode: Choose from 99 auto-run sequences with adjustable speed
- Fade Control: Internal fade time adjustments per program
- Primary/Secondary Sync: Multiple fixtures can be linked for synchronized output
- Manual Dim/Strobe: Full brightness and strobe adjustment via rear LCD menu
These built-in modes are ideal for event venues, rentals, and DJs who want pro-grade results without investing in full DMX programming.
UV Diode Applications in the 12P HEX IP
The integrated UV element in each 6-in-1 diode gives the 12P HEX IP a unique creative edge for nightlife, themed events, and color blending. The UV channel can be independently controlled via DMX or used in macros and standalone programs.
- Glow Effects: Ideal for neon apparel, decor, signage, and blacklight themes
- Enhanced Whites: UV adds crispness and contrast to white fabric or foam
- Color Deepening: Subtle UV blending deepens saturated tones without overpowering them
- Themed Install Use: Great for haunted houses, glow parties, and immersive scenic washes
Unlike traditional UV-only fixtures, the 12P HEX IP’s UV integration keeps your rig streamlined without sacrificing functionality.
How to Deploy in the Field
The ADJ 12P HEX IP is built for fast, secure deployment in both temporary and permanent setups. Its dual yoke bracket functions as a floor stand or clamp-ready mount, while the IP65 housing ensures long-term durability even in exposed conditions.
- Floor Mount: Use the yoke for ground stacking uplight configurations at events, weddings, or corporate venues
- Truss or Pipe Mount: Install clamps (not included) using the yoke’s center slot for flown wash positions
- Power Linking: Daisy-chain up to 6 units @120V or 13 units @240V via IP65 locking Seetronic cables
- DMX Chaining: Use 5-pin IP-rated XLR to link signal between fixtures in outdoor lines or grid formations
- Permanent Mounting: Can be securely installed to walls or ceilings for fixed venue or architectural use
For full IP65 performance, always use approved locking connectors with dielectric grease in high-moisture or marine-prone areas.
