High-Impact Outdoor FX Panel with RGB Wash, Strobe & Filter Slot
The ADJ Jolt Panel FXIP is a rugged IP65-rated strobe, wash, and FX fixture designed to tackle outdoor stages, festival rigs, and high-energy event lighting with ease. Featuring 800 RGB SMD LEDs and 48 high-output 5W white LEDs, it delivers full-panel color washes, blinding strobe bursts, and pixel-mapped chases—all in a single form factor. With a wide 73° beam and 111° field angle, it easily floods large areas or stage walls with vivid, color-rich output.
Each FXIP is built with independent 40-zone RGB and 6-zone white pixel control, opening up endless animated pattern possibilities. An integrated filter slot at the front lets you blur pixel dots for smoother wash effects or shape the beam with optional accessories. You also get Aria X2 wireless DMX built-in (and WiFLY EXR compatibility) for streamlined wireless programming in the field.
Backed by an intuitive OLED display and 14 DMX channel modes, the Jolt Panel FXIP is as versatile as it is powerful. It’s built for real-world deployment—whether that's mounted vertically for audience blinders, rigged as part of a floor package, or pixel-chasing along truss spans. The locking IP65-rated connectors ensure reliable daisy-chaining and long-term outdoor use in all conditions.

Control Modes
The Jolt Panel FXIP offers powerful multi-protocol control backed by advanced onboard programming. It supports DMX512, Aria X2 wireless DMX, and RDM for flexible integration into modern lighting rigs. Users can select from 14 distinct DMX channel modes—ranging from compact 6-channel operation to full 143-channel pixel control—making it adaptable to everything from plug-and-play installs to full pixel mapping environments.
- DMX Channel Modes: 6, 9, 13, 18, 20, 36, 41, 43, 51, 81, 83, 126, 141, 143 channels
- Pixel Zones: 40 RGB zones + 6 white strobe zones (available in extended modes)
- Dimming Curves: Linear, Square Law, Inverse Square, S-Curve
- Dimming Modes: Standard, Stage, TV, Architectural, Theatre, Stage 2
- Strobe Modes: Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Lightning, Random
- Strobe Rate: 1Hz (min) to 20Hz (max)
- LED Refresh Rate: Selectable from 900Hz to 25kHz
Control is managed via a rear OLED display with 4-button touch navigation, giving access to dimming presets, LED refresh rates, program macros, zone assignments, gamma correction, and full DMX addressing. The fixture also supports filter configuration via its onboard slot, letting users adapt output with optional lens accessories per show requirements.
LED Engine & Optical Zones of the Jolt Panel FXIP
At the core of the Jolt Panel FXIP is a hybrid LED architecture designed for maximum flexibility in stage and event environments. The fixture features 800 x RGB SMD LEDs for rich color washes, animated pixel FX, and zone-driven movement. A central strip of 48 x 5W white SMDs delivers high-impact strobe bursts with a traditional xenon-like punch, ideal for blinder moments or rhythmic accents.
The RGB array is divided into 40 independently controllable pixel zones, while the white strobe section features 6 discrete control zones—giving designers full creative command over movement, balance, and pattern sequencing.
- Beam Angle: 73°
- Field Angle: 111°
- RGB Wavelengths: Red 620–630nm, Green 515–530nm, Blue 460–470nm
- White LED Color Temp: Typical 7400K (range: 6900K–8000K)
- CRI: 69.4
This dual-zone approach allows the FXIP to function as a fully immersive wash panel, a hard-edge strobe source, or a pixel animation layer—often simultaneously.
Wireless Control & DMX Integration Modes
The Jolt Panel FXIP ships with ADJ’s Aria X2 wireless DMX system built-in, giving operators the ability to transmit and receive DMX wirelessly without running signal cable. It also remains fully compatible with ADJ’s WiFLY EXR protocol for seamless integration into legacy wireless rigs. This makes it a drop-in upgrade for existing event systems while enabling wireless distribution across large stages or high-mount trusses.
For traditional control workflows, the fixture includes IP65-rated 5-pin DMX in/out ports. It supports 14 selectable DMX modes ranging from ultra-simple (6CH) to fully expanded pixel-mapped setups (143CH):
- DMX Channel Modes: 6, 9, 13, 18, 20, 36, 41, 43, 51, 81, 83, 126, 141, 143
- Protocols: DMX512, Aria X2, WiFLY EXR, RDM
- Power/Data Connectors: IP65-rated locking DMX and power I/O
This level of protocol compatibility and wireless freedom makes the Jolt Panel FXIP ideal for outdoor events, club tours, or rapid festival builds where data runs must be minimized.
Internal Macros, Programs & Dimming Logic
The FXIP offers a deep internal engine for both automated playback and precision dimming. It includes 25 RGB macro programs and 9 white LED strobe macros that can be deployed instantly via DMX or manual control—ideal for fast-paced lighting cues or no-console events.
Color balance and white-point control is enhanced by 67 built-in color temperature presets ranging from 2300K to 8900K, perfect for matching cameras or balancing with other fixture types on a large rig.
- Dimming Modes: Standard, Stage, TV, Architectural, Theatre, Stage 2
- Dimming Curves: Linear, Square Law, Inverse Square Law, S-Curve
- Gamma & Refresh: Refresh adjustable from 900Hz to 25kHz for video and flicker-critical work
The dimming engine operates at a smooth 0–100% resolution with selectable gamma response and display flicker handling. From theatrical fades to burst strobe transitions, the fixture delivers consistent and artifact-free control across modes.
Filter Channel & Accessory Slot System
Unique to the FXIP is a built-in filter slot channel on the face of the panel, allowing lighting designers to alter beam behavior without re-rigging or dismantling the fixture. The slot supports a growing line of optional accessories designed specifically for the FXIP and FX2 models:
- Included: Frost Lens Filter (blurs pixel dots for smoother wash)
- Optional: Blackout Plate, 1x60° Linear Filter, 60x1° Linear Filter
- Mounting: Omega bracket receiver built-in (bracket sold separately)
This system turns the FXIP into a modular visual tool—capable of smooth wall wash effects one night, then crisp audience pixel mapping the next. For venues, tours, and rental houses, this flexibility reduces the need to swap fixtures between applications.
How to Deploy in the Field
The Jolt Panel FXIP is engineered for flexible deployment across both indoor and outdoor environments. Its compact footprint and IP65-rated build make it ideal for stage-front mounting, overhead trussing, or architectural lighting. Each unit includes dual built-in omega bracket receivers on the rear panel, allowing for secure rigging with optional clamps or standard brackets.
- Truss Rigging: Use omega brackets with clamps for horizontal or vertical mounting on box truss, goalposts, or grids.
- Floor Stacking: The fixture’s base angle bracket allows for upright placement, angled wash positioning, or strobe-facing configurations.
- Wall Wash / Audience Blinder: Tilt the fixture toward audience or backdrop areas for zone FX, chase sequences, or full-panel color strobe floods.
- Outdoor Mounting: All connectors are IP65-rated—use locking power and DMX cables for weatherproof daisy-chaining in rain or dust conditions.
- Filter Deployment: Use the front-facing filter channel to insert frost or beam-shaping lenses without altering rig orientation.
For mobile systems, multiple FXIP units can be linked via locking IP65 power in/out connectors (6 units @120V or 12 units @230V) to simplify power distro while maintaining weather-sealed integrity.
