The ADJ team will be exhibiting at the 2021 Nightclub & Bar Show (Booth #822) scheduled to take place in Las Vegas at the end of June. With restaurants, bars and music venues across the nation opening back up, this is the ideal time for venue owners to upgrade their lighting to stand out from the crowd and be in the strongest possible position to capitalize on the relaxation of restrictions. The ADJ booth will showcase a variety of the company’s latest entertainment lighting products, including IP65-rated fixtures ideal for use on patios, terraces and other outdoor spaces, which are set to be more popular than ever this summer.
The 2020 edition of Nightclub and Bar, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was the first time in 30 years that ADJ hadn’t attended this important annual event for the hospitality industry. Therefore, the ADJ team are excited to be a part of the show when it returns this year, supporting the hospitality industry as it gears up for a full return to business. The ADJ booth will be packed with lighting and video products designed for integration into bars, lounges, restaurants, and clubs that can be used to enhance the atmosphere of any space.
“This is the perfect time for venue owners and operators of all sizes to gear up for the summer season,” comments ADJ USA’s National Sales Manager, Alfred Gonzales. “Following a year of restrictions, there is a huge appetite for getting out and socializing, but it will be locations that offer their customers the best possible experience that will be the most successful. The ADJ team are looking forward to using the Nightclub and Bar Show 2021 to meet with the industry and explain to owners and managers how ADJ lighting can be used to enhance their venue. The use of outdoor spaces is really trending right now, and so we’ll have a particular focus on IP65-rated products that can be used to enhance outdoor seating areas as well as front entrances and building façades.”
Taking pride of place on the ADJ booth will be the Focus Series of LED-powered moving head fixtures. These compact yet feature-packed lighting tools all feature motorized focus and zoom and are idea for both creating aerial effects and surface GOBO projections. The Focus Spot 4Z is built around a 200W LED light engine and is equipped with 8 colors + open, 6 rotating replaceable GOBOs and 2 rotating prisms (5-facet linear and 6-facet circular). The Focus Spot 5Z features the same light source but an advanced feature set, including an addition color wheel and two frost effects (light and heavy). The flagship of the series, the Focus Spot 6Z, harnesses the power of a 300W LED light engine, paired with precision optics, to create an intensely bright output. This is paired with an extensive feature set, including everything found on the 5Z model plus an additional GOBO wheel and motorized iris, making this fixture a powerhouse ideal for use in larger nightclubs and live music venues.
Visitors to the ADJ booth won’t be able to miss the ADJ Hydro Series. Designed for use outdoors in any weather conditions, this groundbreaking range of IP65-rated moving head fixtures offers an unrivaled combination of build quality, versatility, and value. It comprises two LED-powered wash fixtures, the compact Hydro Wash X7 and the dominating Hydro Wash X19, as well as two beam fixtures, the Hydro Beam X1 – powered by a 100W Osram Sirius HRI discharge lamp – and the Hydro Beam X2 – powered by a potent Osram Sirius HRI 370W LL light source.
LED video panels allow for the creation of custom displays of any size that can be used to show big screen sports, music videos, in-house branding, and much more. ADJ’s Vision Series of LED panels offer exceptional contrast and clarity, as well as advanced features to make for straightforward installation and configuration. Featuring the highest quality LED binning as well as bright, clear output, the VS Series features four panel models. The VS5 offers a 5.95mm pixel pitch, the VS3 has a 3.91mm pixel pitch and the VS2 offers the highest resolution in the range with a 2.97mm pixel pitch. Completing the range is the VS3IP, a 3.84mm pixel pitch model that has an IP65-rated front and IP54-rated rear panel, making it suitable for temporary outdoor use.
Also on display will be the Jolt 300, a multi-functional LED-powered strobe / wash / blinder fixture. Featuring a distinctive arrangement that comprises a central strip of cool white LEDs which is surrounded on both sides by arrays of multi-colored RGB LEDs, the Jolt 300 provides lighting designers with a wealth of creative potential. Ideal for installation in nightclubs, it allows strikingly bright white strobe effects, vibrant color washes and dynamic ‘eye candy’ effects to be created from the same compact fixture.
The Nightclub and Bar Show is due to take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Monday June 28 thru Wednesday June 30, with the Expo Hall open on the Tuesday and Wednesday. ADJ will be found on booth #822 where a knowledgeable team of representatives will be on hand to demonstrate products and answer questions.
