Additional customization options include six selectable dimming modes, four distinct dimming curves, adjustable refresh rates (900Hz–25,000Hz), electronic dimming (0–100%), and flicker-free operation optimized for broadcast and video.
LED Engine & Color Mixing Technology
The Encore LB15IP is powered by 15 x 20-Watt RGBL quad-color LEDs, each combining red, green, blue, and lime emitters into a single high-output package. The inclusion of lime diodes significantly improves the fixture’s CRI (Color Rendering Index) to 89.3, while enhancing perceived brightness and filling spectral gaps often missed by traditional RGB or RGBA engines.
Users can access variable white temperature control from 2700K to 7000K, via linear adjustment or one of six preset macros (2700K, 3200K, 4000K, 5600K, 6500K, 7000K). Each LED is individually pixel-mappable, unlocking creative lighting sequences across the entire bar. With 16-bit fine control over each color channel and access to 64 built-in color macros, the LB15IP offers stunning output flexibility for any environment.
DMX & Wireless Control Capabilities
The LB15IP offers a robust and adaptable control platform suitable for everything from basic uplighting to complex, pixel-mapped rigs. Key features include:
- 10 Selectable DMX Channel Modes: Choose from 4, 7, 8, 13, 16, 60, 63, 69, 72, or 120 channels depending on your programming needs.
- Built-In WiFLY EXR Wireless DMX: Transmit or receive signal up to 2500 ft (700m) line-of-sight without cabling.
- RDM Support: Full compatibility for remote fixture addressing and system diagnostics.

The Power of LIME in RGBL Color Mixing
The Lime component in the Encore LB15IP’s RGBL LED array is what elevates this fixture from standard color mixing to a new level of visual fidelity. Unlike conventional RGB or RGBA systems, the RGBL platform includes a lime emitter that fills in critical spectral gaps, resulting in improved color balance, richer whites, and significantly higher CRI (Color Rendering Index). The LB15IP boasts a CRI of 89.3, with a robust R9 value of 69, making it suitable for color-critical environments like film, broadcast, or high-end architectural spaces.
Lime also enhances perceived brightness, allowing the fixture to appear more vivid at lower intensities—an essential feature for stages, scenic washes, and venue lighting where power draw and visual consistency matter. Whether you're programming subtle warm whites or full-spectrum effects, RGBL delivers smoother transitions and more accurate color representation across the entire output range.
This lime-enhanced engine is fully supported through 16-bit dimming, built-in white point macros, and precise DMX control—giving designers the tools to deliver polished, professional lighting with consistency and impact.
How to Deploy the ADJ Encore LB15IP
The ADJ Encore LB15IP is engineered for professional flexibility in both temporary and permanent environments. Its dual adjustable mounting brackets allow the fixture to be positioned on the ground for uplighting or floor washes, or rigged to truss structures using the included Omega brackets for overhead or side-mounting configurations.
For outdoor events, the LB15IP’s IP65-rated construction ensures complete protection against moisture, dust, and debris, allowing confident deployment in all-weather conditions. Locking outdoor-rated power and DMX connectors enable secure data and power linking across multiple fixtures, with daisy-chaining supported (5 units @ 120V or 10 units @ 220V).
Pixel-mapped arrays can be created by aligning multiple units side-by-side to form dynamic linear effects. When glare control is necessary, attach the included glare shield to minimize beam spill and focus your output.
Deployment Best Practices:
- Truss or Pipe Mounting: Use Omega brackets with standard clamps for secure overhead installation.
- Floor Uplighting: Angle brackets downward for precise vertical wash applications.
- Outdoor Installations: Take advantage of the IP65 housing and protected ports for rain-safe deployment.
- Pixel Arrays: Mount multiple units edge-to-edge for seamless mapped sequences and visual flows.
