ADJ Hydro Spot 2 IP65 CMY LED Moving Head Fixture

Outdoor-Rated 320W CMY Spot Fixture with Zoom, Prisms, Gobos, and CRMX

The ADJ Hydro Spot 2 is a rugged IP65 moving head spot fixture engineered for high-output performance in harsh environments. Driven by a potent 320W cool white LED source, it delivers intense beam projection with a zoom range of 5.5° to 46°, making it versatile for both tight aerial effects and wide stage washes. Whether deployed for festivals, amphitheaters, rooftop venues, or permanent installs, its sealed design ensures long-term reliability with no compromise in features or visual punch.

Professional-grade color and beam control come standard. The fixture features full CMY color mixing and a separate color wheel with seven saturated dichroic filters, giving lighting designers total creative command. With two gobo wheels (one static, one rotating) and dual overlapping prisms (5-facet linear + 6-facet circular), the Hydro Spot 2 can generate rich textured mid-air effects, layered projections, and immersive ambiance from any angle.

Advanced connectivity rounds out the feature set. You get full 16-bit pan/tilt resolution, motorized focus and iris, electronic dimming, and variable-speed strobing. The fixture ships with W-DMX CRMX wireless compatibility built-in, along with RDM functionality, a 4-button OLED display for onboard access, and 5-pin DMX In/Out. Auto cooling with variable-speed fans keeps thermals tight for continuous operation in elevated temperatures.

Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:

• Outdoor stages and rooftop clubs demanding IP65-rated lighting.
• Mobile DJ and production rigs requiring wireless DMX and fast load-ins.
• Festival and concert venues needing flexible zoom, CMY, and gobo layering.
• Architectural installs where weatherproof spot lighting is critical.
• Touring environments that rely on protected optics and sealed construction.

Where This System Excels

• All-Weather Operation: IP65-rated housing resists dust, moisture, and rain—ideal for outdoor festivals or seasonal installs.
• CMY + Color Wheel Flexibility: Blend any hue with CMY or switch to saturated dichroics instantly.
• Dual Prisms + Gobos: Layer gobos with overlapping 5-facet and 6-facet prisms for dynamic aerial projection.
• Precision Zoom Range: Motorized zoom from tight 5.5° beams to wide 46° coverage.
• CRMX Wireless Control: Built-in LumenRadio W-DMX for cable-free syncing in pro rigs.
• Tour-Ready Durability: Fully sealed design prevents internal damage during transit or harsh usage.

Control Modes for the ADJ Hydro Spot 2

The Hydro Spot 2 offers pro-level control options for touring, venue, and rental applications. It supports 3 DMX channel modes—26, 31, and 39—making it easy to scale control depth to your system or console. Pan and tilt operate at 16-bit resolution for precise movements across wide stage spans. Built-in RDM support allows two-way addressing and status monitoring via compatible controllers.

CRMX wireless comes standard. The onboard LumenRadio receiver eliminates the need for external DMX cables, enabling clean and efficient wireless syncing across large stages or rooftop installs. DMX I/O is handled through 5-pin locking XLR, and the fixture also includes 3-pin Seetronic locking power In/Out for power linking.

Onboard programming is intuitive. The 4-button OLED menu system allows easy access to channel modes, address settings, manual control, fan modes, and fixture status. Multiple dimming curves and strobe effects can be configured directly from the display, ideal for quick tweaks at FOH or during tech prep.

Zoom and Optics System of the Hydro Spot 2

The Hydro Spot 2 features a wide motorized zoom lens system ranging from 5.5° to 46°. This enables everything from pinpoint aerial beam work to wide gobo projection and stage wash. The motorized focus ensures consistent image sharpness across throw distances, while the adjustable iris can be used to fine-tune beam size or simulate shuttering effects.

Optical efficiency is maximized for punch and clarity. Beam intensity is supported by a custom-engineered optics path optimized for the 320W cool white LED engine. The combination of multi-element lenses and sealed optical train maintains high output even under extended use and variable environmental conditions.

Color Mixing System with CMY and Color Wheel

Full CMY color mixing gives the Hydro Spot 2 infinite hue possibilities. The smooth linear CMY flags allow rich blends, subtle pastel gradients, and deep saturations with zero snap or jitter. For instant primary or saturated tones, the dedicated 7-slot color wheel provides dichroic filters including red, green, blue, amber, and more.

Color changes are fast and fluid, supporting both live programming and automated chases. Transitions are fade-capable for theater and scenic environments, while snap-to-color behavior remains tight enough for EDM or strobe-intensive shows.

CRMX Wireless DMX Integration

The Hydro Spot 2 comes equipped with LumenRadio’s CRMX module for professional-grade wireless control. This enables stable DMX transmission in congested environments, large venues, or mobile production rigs where cabling is impractical.

With no external dongles or receivers required, you can immediately pair the fixture to any CRMX-compatible transmitter or ecosystem. Signal handoff is fast, with intelligent re-linking and frequency management to minimize interference and keep the show running—even during unexpected RF congestion.

Thermal Management and Fan Modes

The Hydro Spot 2 uses active forced-air cooling with intelligent fan speed adjustment, ensuring thermal stability under full-output conditions without introducing excessive noise. Designed for high-demand touring and install environments, the system actively manages internal temperature based on real-time output and ambient conditions.

Multiple fan modes are available via the onboard menu, including Performance, Silent, and Auto. This allows the fixture to adapt to different applications—from ultra-quiet theatrical installs to full-intensity outdoor shows—without risking thermal throttling or failure.

How to Deploy the ADJ Hydro Spot 2 in the Field

Designed for maximum flexibility, the Hydro Spot 2 includes professional mounting hardware with fast rigging options for truss, deck, or ground use. The included omega bracket system supports clamp-based installation using standard half couplers or combo clamps.

For permanent installations or mobile totems, the IP65-rated chassis allows outdoor mounting without additional enclosure. Power In/Out linking is supported via Seetronic True1-compatible locking connectors, and DMX linking supports long runs through both 3- and 5-pin XLR. When deploying multiple units, orientation memory and RDM addressing streamline setup time.

• Truss Use: Secure with omega brackets + half couplers.
• Ground Stack: Flat base allows safe upright placement.
• Totem Mount: Compatible with standard pipe mounts and totem adapters.
• Outdoor Install: Direct-mount to weatherproof rigs—IP65-rated, no dome needed.
