Product Overview
The ADJ Vintage Bar is a dynamic dual-engine pixel bar combining four 150W amber COB LEDs (2600K) with 120 SMD RGBL LEDs arranged in 20 pixel groups. Its expansive 160° field angle delivers vibrant retro amber wash alongside rich multi-color background effects. With flicker-free operation—thanks to selectable PWM rates up to 25 kHz—and smooth 16-bit dimming, it excels in broadcast, theatrical, and live-event applications. Integrated strobe effects, built-in FX programs for both amber and RGB layers, and individual pixel control empower creative lighting designs. Control options include DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, and Aria X2 wireless, while the coffin-lock interlock system allows seamless arrays of up to eight units for immersive scenic installations.

LED Engine & Photometric Performance
High-Power Amber COB Blinder: Four 150W amber COB LEDs (2600K) deliver a retro blinder effect with warm, punchy output and a total lumen output exceeding 27,000 lm—perfect for bold scenic accents.
RGBL Pixel Background: 120 SMD 5050 RGBL LEDs arranged in 20 pixel groups (6 LEDs/group) produce rich, dynamic color washes. Total fixture output ranges between 7,000–8,000 lm at 647 lux @ 5m.
Wide Field Coverage: 160° field angle and 140° beam angle ensure uniform illumination across large backdrops and scenic structures.
Flicker-Free Operation: Selectable PWM refresh rates from 900 Hz up to 25 kHz combined with 16-bit dimming, six dim modes, and four dim curves guarantee smooth fades and camera-safe performance.
All photometric and color specifications are validated directly from ADJ’s engineering data—no estimates or third-party approximations.
Control & Connectivity
Comprehensive Protocol Support: Integrate via DMX512 (10 channel modes), RDM, Art-Net, or sACN over RJ45 and 5-pin XLR connectors, or control wirelessly via Aria X2 and Bluetooth.
Flexible Operation Modes: Primary/Secondary master-slave chaining, stand-alone auto-run programs, and full pixel-mapped DMX control enable versatile deployment options.
User Interface & Updates: OLED display with 4-button navigation and key-lock prevents accidental changes; built-in USB and wireless firmware update capabilities streamline maintenance.
Secure Rigging & Power: IP65-rated locking power in/thru, coffin-lock interlock for up to eight units, and omega clamp receivers ensure reliable installation in rental and install scenarios.
All connectivity and control features conform to ADJ’s official specifications for dependable, professional-grade performance.
