IP65 Compact RGBL Wash with Tunable White and Filter Flexibility
Designed for rugged flexibility in both indoor and outdoor environments, the ADJ Encore LP5IP is a compact but powerful IP65-rated LED wash fixture. It features 5x 20W RGBL quad-color LEDs with a 10° native beam, making it ideal for punchy uplights, narrow beam accents, and architectural washing. As part of the ADJ Lime Par Series, it includes a lime emitter for richer whites and fuller spectrum color blending, plus tunable white from 2700K to 7000K for broadcast or ambient matching.
Every fixture comes standard with a 25° magnetic frost filter for field beam shaping, and optional accessories include wide-angle and elliptical filters for even broader use. With 64 built-in color macros, 6 DMX modes, and 5 operational modes (including sound active and manual dimmer), the LP5IP delivers surprising control in a highly portable footprint.
Control features include RDM compatibility, 6 dimming modes, 4 dim curves, and adjustable refresh rates from 900Hz to 25kHz for flicker-free filming. The IP65 rating ensures resistance to water, dust, and sand, while the rugged metal housing and locking power connections are built for touring, rentals, and installs alike.

RGBL Output & Tunable White Integration
The ADJ Encore LP5IP uses five 20W quad-color LEDs (Red, Green, Blue, Lime) to deliver vibrant color mixing and white light tuning with enhanced visual clarity. The inclusion of the lime emitter improves CRI and perceived brightness, enabling richer color blends and smoother transitions between hues and temperatures.
For white light applications, the LP5IP provides full linear color temperature control from 2700K to 7000K. This tunability is ideal for matching ambient environments, adjusting to camera settings, or meeting broadcast white balance requirements. Preset white points—such as 2700K, 3200K, 4000K, 5600K, and 6500K—are also available for rapid deployment.
Each color channel (R, G, B, L) is mapped with 16-bit fine control for smooth fades and subtle shifts, while built-in color macros offer quick programming solutions for fast-paced setups.
Advantages of LIME LED Technology in the Encore LP5IP
The LP5IP’s use of RGBL (Red, Green, Blue, Lime) quad-color LEDs places it squarely in ADJ’s Lime Par Series—designed to outperform conventional RGB or RGBA fixtures in both color quality and visible output. The addition of a lime emitter dramatically improves both photometric and perceptual performance.
What makes the lime LED element so powerful?
- Improved CRI: Lime fills gaps in the visible spectrum, yielding a CRI of 84 and an R9 of 76.6—ideal for skin tones, fabrics, and true white rendering.
- Greater Brightness: The human eye responds strongly to green–yellow wavelengths, and lime maximizes output where it’s most visible.
- Richer Whites: Tunable color temperature from 2700K to 7000K with smoother transitions and reduced tint shifting compared to RGB-only systems.
- Enhanced Pastels & Gels: Lime enables soft pastel shades and nuanced blends that RGB or RGBA simply can’t replicate.
- More Efficient Color Mixing: Lime lets the fixture create warm or cool whites without heavily dimming RGB channels, preserving overall brightness.
Whether you're uplighting fabric drape, highlighting architecture, or designing a film-friendly wash, the LP5IP’s lime-enhanced output ensures richer, truer color in compact spaces.
Beam Control & Frost Filter Options
Out of the box, the LP5IP delivers a tight 10° native beam angle, perfect for focused uplighting, beam accenting, and narrow wash applications. It ships with a magnetic 25° frost filter to soften and widen the beam for more diffuse coverage in stage wash or architectural fill scenarios.
For even greater flexibility, the fixture is compatible with a full range of optional magnetic frost filters, including:
- ELP5L20: 20° frost filter
- ELP5L60: 60° frost filter
- ELP5L100: 100° frost filter
- ELP5L30X60: 30x60° elliptical frost filter
- ELP5L1X40: 1x40° linear frost filter
All filters attach magnetically and can be swapped in seconds—no tools or brackets needed—giving designers fast beam flexibility during load-ins or live adjustments.
IP65 Housing, Connectors & Road-Ready Design
Built for real-world use in unpredictable environments, the LP5IP carries a full IP65 rating, protecting against water jets, rain, snow, dust, and airborne debris. The fixture’s all-metal chassis is built to withstand repeated transport and deployment in touring, rental, and outdoor install applications.
All input and output connectors—including DMX and power—are shielded by locking outdoor-rated connectors and protected with rubberized IP-rated caps when not in use. This ensures long-term reliability, even in wet or dusty conditions.
The included scissor yoke with safety eye allows for fast floor placement or truss mounting, while the compact 5.3 lb form factor makes it ideal for riggers and mobile techs needing high output from minimal space.
How to Deploy the ADJ Encore LP5IP in the Field
The Encore LP5IP is designed for fast, flexible deployment in both permanent and mobile environments. Its compact footprint, IP65 housing, and scissor yoke make it a go-to wash fixture for uplighting, truss rigging, and ground placement—indoors or outdoors.
- Uplighting & Ground Wash: Use the integrated scissor yoke as a floor stand for architectural accents, tent washing, or scenic uplighting.
- Truss & Pipe Mounting: Pair the yoke with standard clamps via its dual-mount slots. The fixture’s low profile and secure yoke design ensure stable installs even on vertical truss lines.
- Outdoor Use: Deploy confidently in rain, snow, or dust-heavy environments thanks to the fixture’s full IP65 rating and weather-sealed connectors.
- Beam Shaping in the Field: Quickly attach or swap magnetic frost filters for beam tuning—no tools required. Great for adjusting spill, coverage, or visual style without repatching.
- Cable Management: Use IP-rated DMX and power linking cables for daisy-chaining in wet zones, or standard 5-pin DMX cables for dry indoor use.
