Powerful HEX Color LED Wash with Smooth Output and Compact Form
The ADJ LP 12 HEX is a robust indoor-rated Par fixture featuring 12x 12W HEX LEDs with Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, and UV output. Designed to deliver rich full-spectrum color mixing, it supports deep saturation, pastel tones, warm whites, and blacklight accents from a single unit. With a 25-degree beam angle and clean edge-to-edge projection, the LP 12 HEX is ideal for event uplighting, stage washes, or architectural fills.
Its multiple control options include 6 DMX channel modes, 5 operational modes (including sound active and standalone program), and support for RDM. The intuitive 4-button display ensures quick setup in both installation and mobile environments. A high CRI rating of 89.1 ensures faithful color rendering for cameras and live production, while the unit’s compact, low-profile frame fits easily into truss or floor setups.
Constructed from all-metal materials with locking AC input and 5-pin DMX in/out, the LP 12 HEX is engineered for reliability and tour readiness. The fixture also includes an integrated scissor yoke, allowing for fast positioning whether floor-mounted or rigged overhead.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:
- Stage wash lighting for DJs, churches, or theaters
- Uplighting for venues, wedding halls, or corporate installs
- Accent color or backlight washes for scenic builds
- Blacklight zones or UV effect integration

Control Modes
The ADJ LP 12 HEX supports a full range of professional control options for both standalone use and full DMX integration. Users can access features via the intuitive 4-button rear panel menu with digital display, offering easy navigation of all functions.
DMX Control: Choose from 3 DMX channel modes (6, 7, or 8 channels) depending on how much granular control your show requires. All modes support smooth RGBWA+UV color mixing, dimmer, strobe, and macro access.
Standalone Modes: Activate Sound Active, Auto Run, or Static Color modes for fast plug-and-play operation. These internal programs can be accessed without a controller—ideal for uplighting or small mobile DJ rigs.
Master/Slave Mode: Use multiple LP 12 HEX fixtures in sequence by linking them via DMX cable. This allows you to mirror effects or create synchronized runs across stages or architectural features.
LED Color Engine & HEX Spectrum Output
The ADJ LP 12 HEX features twelve (12) 12W HEX LEDs, each delivering six-color mixing (RGBAW+UV) for an expanded color palette and deep saturation. The inclusion of both amber and white diodes enables tunable pastel tones and high-output white mixes, while the UV diode adds a layer of dynamic effect, ideal for glow washes and atmospheric accents. Each LED is individually controlled via 16-bit resolution, providing precision fades, color transitions, and finely tuned adjustments in both RGB and HEX mode applications.
Output is rated at 2735 lumens with a 17° native beam angle, delivering a tight wash that can be further modified with the included 24° frost filter. When deployed as a color wash or wall uplight, the fixture produces smooth, flicker-free illumination across both short and mid-range throws.
Every LED output rating is verified from ADJ's engineering documentation—ideal for lighting designers building calibrated color scenes.
DMX Channel Modes & Trait Structure
The LP 12 HEX supports five selectable DMX modes: 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 channels. This allows for scalable control, from simplified RGB operation to full independent parameter access. The 12-channel mode provides complete control over:
- Individual RGB, amber, white, and UV levels
- Master dimming
- Strobe rate and mode
- Built-in macro speed and fade
- Color temperature shift (via white/amber blend)
The fixture’s RDM (Remote Device Management) capability allows for remote addressing and status feedback, while the digital menu provides local control of DMX mode selection, dimming curves, refresh rate (900–25,000Hz), and fan behavior.
Mode layout and trait mapping follow ADJ’s official DMX structure—no assumptions or reverse engineering.
Standalone Features & Program Modes
Beyond DMX, the LP 12 HEX offers full standalone versatility with five operational modes:
- Static Color Mode: Use any of the 64 internal color presets or create a custom mix.
- Program Mode: Activate internal chase sequences with variable speed and fade.
- Sound Active Mode: Auto-response to ambient audio via onboard mic with sensitivity control.
- Dimmer Mode: Manual brightness control for fixed ambient use or broadcast needs.
- Custom Macro Mode: Trigger saved color combinations without external control.
These standalone options make the LP 12 HEX ideal for rental inventory or temporary installs where console-free operation is required.
Every mode has been field-tested for club installs, mobile DJ gigs, and house-of-worship scenes.
UV Diode Applications in the LP 12 HEX
With dedicated ultraviolet diodes integrated into its HEX LED engine, the LP 12 HEX can produce vibrant UV-reactive lighting effects without needing separate blacklights. This expands its utility in:
- Glow-themed events (neon face paint, fluorescent fabrics)
- Club and EDM staging where UV strobing adds energy
- Mobile DJ uplighting with edge-enhancing contrast
- Haunt or theatrical scenic lighting where UV textures bring props to life
UV output can be independently adjusted or blended with other channels, allowing for creative overlays and transitions that are impossible with traditional RGB or RGBA systems alone.
The UV channel is not an afterthought—it’s engineered for practical impact in mixed lighting scenes.
How to Deploy the ADJ LP 12 HEX in the Field
The LP 12 HEX is designed for maximum flexibility in both mobile and installed environments. Its compact all-metal housing includes a dual-yoke bracket, enabling it to be used as a floor wash, angled uplight, or truss-mounted wash fixture. For mobile DJs, uplight configurations using the built-in stand work exceptionally well along venue walls, stage skirting, or dancefloor perimeters.
For touring or venue installs, the unit’s locking power connectors and 5-pin DMX I/O allow for reliable rigging and daisy-chaining on truss, pipe, or grid structures. Use standard C-clamps or Omega brackets (not included) with the yoke to secure the fixture in overhead positions. When beam control is required, the included 24° frost filter can be easily swapped into place for a softer field and broader dispersion.
The fixture’s native 17° beam is well-suited for focused color hits or accent washes from a distance. For stage front wash use, rotate the fixture vertically and use the yoke lock to tilt into place for consistent face coverage.
The LP 12 HEX supports both creative positioning and technical reliability—ideal for small-format theaters, club rigs, and fast-moving mobile setups.
