ADJ Hydro Beam X1 100W IP65 Moving Head with UV and Prism

Precision Beam Control in an IP65 Fixture Built for Impact

The ADJ Hydro Beam X1 is a compact, IP65-rated beam moving head engineered for high-output aerial effects in harsh outdoor environments. Powered by an Osram Sirius HRI 100W discharge lamp, it delivers a piercing 3-degree beam with crisp definition and deep color contrast. From stadium installations to mobile DJ rigs, the X1’s rugged build and versatile optics offer an ideal blend of portability and power.

Color and gobo selections are equally robust. The motorized color wheel features 12 distinct hues including CTB and UV, while the metal gobo wheel provides 15 gobos (11 beam shapes + 4 reducers). A rotating 16-facet prism adds a dazzling multi-ray effect, perfect for mid-air stacking or wide-field breakups. For soft beam layering, a frost filter is onboard—transforming the sharp beam into a subtle wash with instant recall.

Designed with full DMX and RDM support, the Hydro Beam X1 offers dual channel modes (11 and 14) and comes equipped with ADJ’s WiFly EXR wireless DMX protocol. All data and power ports are IP65-rated with protective caps, ensuring consistent operation under rain, dust, and high humidity. An onboard OLED menu with multi-language UI and advanced fixture calibration tools give professionals full control in the field.

Compact yet tour-tough, the Hydro Beam X1 is ideal for temporary outdoor stages, permanent theme park installs, or mobile DJs who need a true weatherproof beam light that doesn’t compromise on output.

Real-World Applications and Beam Roles

• Outdoor concerts and festival rigs where IP65 rating is essential
• Mobile DJ setups needing sharp beam effects with minimal footprint
• Club installs seeking tight aerial effects with wireless control options
• Stage designers building compact beam zones in hybrid wash/spot plots
• Architectural lighting where rotational prism and gobos can be creatively mapped

Where This System Excels

• Outdoor Events: Fully IP65 rated for temporary exterior use in wet or dusty environments.
• Club and DJ Lighting: 3° beam angle and rotating prism deliver high-impact aerial visuals.
• Wireless DMX Control: Built-in WiFly EXR supports long-range wireless sync with zero cabling.
• Precision Gobo Effects: 15-position gobo wheel with shake and rotation for dynamic mid-air patterns.
• Field Durability: Metal chassis, sealed connectors, and robust thermal control designed for touring.
• Compact Install Footprint: Lightweight form factor fits into tight truss configurations or smaller rigs.

Control Modes and Fixture Configuration

The ADJ Hydro Beam X1 offers two DMX channel modes—11 and 14 channels—providing flexible control over beam shaping, prism effects, frost, pan/tilt, and dimming behavior. The fixture also supports RDM (Remote Device Management) for remote addressing, real-time status readout, and advanced diagnostic integration.

• DMX Channel Modes: 11-channel for basic shows, 14-channel for full FX access and layered control.
• RDM Enabled: Supports bidirectional communication for address changes, temperature monitoring, and parameter feedback.
• OLED Menu Display: Bright IP65-rated screen with 4-button UI for configuring pan/tilt invert, dimming curve selection, motor reset, and standby timing.
• 6 Selectable Dimming Curves: Standard, Stage, TV, Architectural, Theatre, and Stage 2 for adaptive fade behavior across environments.
• Internal Safety Controls: Displays cooling fan status, system temperature, and auto-hibernation timer.
• Firmware Port: USB service input under sealed cover allows secure updates without opening the chassis.

All DMX and RDM signals are routed through IP65-rated 5-pin XLR in/out ports—ideal for outdoor and festival environments requiring ruggedized cabling.

Beam Control and Optical Mechanics of the Hydro Beam X1

At the core of the Hydro Beam X1 is a 100W Osram Sirius HRI discharge lamp, optimized for razor-sharp aerial effects with a narrow 3° beam angle. The optics are precision-aligned with a high-efficiency reflector, producing dense mid-air output ideal for clubs, outdoor stages, and install rigs.

Color and gobo shaping are achieved via an 8-position color wheel (including UV and CTB) and a fixed gobo wheel with 11 etched designs plus open. These two wheels operate at high speed, enabling smooth transitions, split color effects, and crisp projection.

Beam customization is enhanced through a 16-facet circular prism and 6-facet linear prism, both of which are independently rotatable and stackable for layered FX. A frost filter is also included for softening the beam edge, allowing quick shifts from aerial to wash-style output without fixture swaps.

Fast pan/tilt movement is delivered through high-torque motors with 540° pan and 270° tilt, featuring micro-stepping and 16-bit control for fluid tracking and mid-air sweeps.

Weatherproof Design and Internal Safeguards

The Hydro Beam X1 is IP65-rated for dustproof and water-resistant operation in outdoor venues, rooftop installs, and festival rigs. All connectors—including 5-pin DMX and powerCON TRUE1-compatible locking power input—are IP65-sealed to prevent ingress during rain, splash, or airborne particulates.

The fixture housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant metal and thermoplastic blends with UV-treated external coatings. The fan system is self-monitoring and temperature-regulated, and can be adjusted via onboard settings to reduce noise or maintain max cooling for high-output applications.

Internal thermal monitoring is available directly on the OLED menu, allowing users to check system temperature, cooling fan status, and auto shutoff timers. These protections make the X1 suitable for mission-critical installs in harsh or unattended environments.

DMX signal integrity is maintained through internal shielding and sealed signal paths, with RDM support for remote diagnostics and fixture addressing.

How to Deploy the ADJ Hydro Beam X1

The Hydro Beam X1 ships with dual omega bracket mounting points and a quarter-turn hanging bracket, making it suitable for standard trussing, pipe clamps, or ground stack rigs. The included safety loop allows secure installation on overhead bars, towers, or rooftop truss frames.

For overhead mounting, pair with professional clamps and safety cables to maintain IP65 integrity without stress on the head pan. When used upright, the reinforced base provides a flat mounting surface with built-in rubber feet for stage decks, risers, or custom carts.

Link up to 32 fixtures in DMX chain using IP65-rated 5-pin XLR and TRUE1-compatible power linking. The fixture’s compact size and lightweight profile allow tight spacing in clubs, DJ towers, or mobile totems with no ventilation gaps required.

Gobo projection and mid-air FX benefit from 10–20 ft trim heights and haze-assisted atmospheres. For full output efficiency, align prism FX on vertical planes or aim crosswise to maximize beam overlap in dual-fixture rigs.
