Equipped with eighteen 12W (6-in-1) HEX LEDs that have a beam angle of 25°, it can be used to create wide washes of amber-infused white light at varying color temperatures, vibrant colors such as hot pinks, lime greens, and electric blues, or the classic UV glow for venue uplighting and heat-free illumination for stage performers. Featuring all-metal construction, the heavy-duty enclosure offers side-accessible power and DMX in/out sockets, allowing the 18P HEX to sit directly on the ground or inside a truss without the scissor yoke, ideal for architectural wall washing.
