Applications

This flat LED spotlight is used for illumination, e . g .
on stage, in clubs and ballrooms . As a light source,
seven extra bright 8 W RGBW LEDs are used . Com-
pared to incandescence lamps, they feature a low
power consumption, a low heat generation and a
long life . The LEDs are able to emit coloured light in
the three primary colours (red, green and blue) and
white light, but also light created by additive colour
mixing . Crossfading from one colour to another and
stroboscope effects are also possible .
The unit is designed for control via a DMX light
controller (3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 DMX control channels
available), but it is also possible to operate it on its
own or in combination with several PARL-174DMX
spotlights (master / slave mode) . In addition, the in-
tegrated microphone provides effects in sync with
the music .
