American DJ’s Fun Factor LED Is 2-FX-In-One, LED Moonflower Plus White LED Strobe

LOS ANGELES — (For Immediate Release) — American DJ is doubling the “fun factor” for DJs, mobile entertainers, small clubs, bands and roller rinks with an exciting new fixture that combines 2 effects in one unit. Aptly called the Fun Factor LED, this easy-to-use, affordable fixture includes both an RGBW LED moonflower and a white LED strobe –giving users the ability to create a multifaceted, mind-blowing light show, without having to purchase and transport multiple fixtures.

Featuring a total of 5 lenses and 4 strobe strips, the Fun Factor LED uses more than 280 LEDs to cover a large area with dancing circles of intense color and mesmerizing strobe action. Its moonflower effect is powered by 210 LEDs — 60 red, 75 green, 45 blue and 30 white — that cast dancing, sweeping circles-within-circles of deep, rich color over a wide area. Its strobe effect utilizes 72 white LEDs to generate brilliant flashes of light that instantly transform any dance floor into a hypnotic, slow-motion wonderland. Both effects can be used together or independently of each other to create one truly awesome light show.

The latest in American DJ’s lineup of multi-effects lighting fixtures, the Fun Factor LED has an attractive list price of only $279.95. It represents a major value for budget-conscious lighting users who seek to make a big impression but don’t want to break their wallets or deal with an entire van full of expensive, heavy equipment.

“Lighting customers, like everyone else, are looking to stretch their budgets today, which is why American DJ has had such overwhelming success with fixtures that contain multi effects on one unit,” said Alfred Gonzales, National Sales Manager for American DJ. “Multi-effects fixtures offer great value and convenience, and we will continue to offer innovative new products in this category like the Fun Factor LED. This affordable two-in-one lighting solution will pump up the fun big-time, and offer extraordinary performance and versatility at an amazing value. It’s perfect for DJs, clubs, bands and mobile entertainers who need a big light show but are operating on a small budget. It’s even great for roller rinks, indoor playgrounds and other places of amusement where simply having fun is the most important thing of all.”

It’s even fun to operate this incredibly versatile fixture, which features a 4-button menu system LED display that makes it incredibly easy to navigate. The Fun Factor LED runs in 3 operational modes: DMX Control, Master/Slave and Sound Active. The unit provides several exciting built-in programs when operated in Master/Slave and Sound Active modes, and you can use American DJ’s UC3 controller (sold separately) to turn the Fun Factor LED on/off and scroll through all the different programs. For an even greater factor of fun, up to 17 Fun Factor LEDs can be power-linked together via the unit’s convenient IEC AC in/out connectors.

The fun can go on all night without interruption, too, because the Fun Factor LED’s 282 cool-running LEDs never get hot, so the unit doesn’t have to shut down for duty cycles. Rated at 50,000 hours, the energy-efficient LED lamps will never need replacing.

The compact and lightweight Fun Factor LED measures 12″L by 12″W by 9″H (306mm x 306mm x 227mm) and weighs only 9 lbs. (3.8kgs). It comes with its own hanging bracket and safety hook for safe and secure mounting.

The MSRP of the Fun Factor LED is $279.95.

American DJ’s UVLED Bar 16 Chosen as UV Signature Reader for NAMM

 LOS ANGELES – One of the highest compliments a manufacturer can receive is to have its products used by its peers. American DJ was recently granted such an honor when its UVLED Bar 16 light fixtures were chosen to read the UV signatures on attendee badges at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim,California, the largest trade show in the industry.    

The stunningly beautiful and bright ultraviolet light generated by the UVLED Bar 16 has a multitude of club and performance uses, and its reliability both as a light effect and a UV card reader is what prompted the organizers behind NAMM to choose the UVLED Bar 16 as the show’s UV signature reader.  The ultraviolet bars were installed above all entrances to read the UV signatures on the badges of show attendees, bathing the doorways in a cool indigo light and adding an extra level of security at the trade show.

The 16 powerful 1-watt LEDs of the UVLED Bar 16 produce an intensely brilliant black-light that not only reads UV signatures, but can also wash over a wide area, thanks to its unique oval-shaped 10-degree vertical and 40-degree horizontal beam angle, which make it a great club light for setting a blue mood for a night on the dance floor.  It’s also an ideal choice for stage performances, theatrical productions and any type of special effects lighting, including retail displays. 

The dual bracket of the UVLED Bar 16 adds to the unit’s versatility.  The fixture can be mounted virtually anywhere in any position, including the floor, thanks to the dual bracket’s ability to become a floor stand, which allows the light to be placed on the ground for spectacular black-light uplighting and wall-washing effects.

Because the UVLED Bar 16 is an LED light, it has all of the advantages of LEDs and none of the concerns of traditional UV lighting.  The UVLED Bar 16 requires virtually no maintenance, with long-life LED’s rated at 50,000 hours and no moving parts.  The fixture is also very energy efficient, using just 30W of power, and its low running temperature means crowds and performers can be cool while looking cool under the ultraviolet light.  Plus, the UVLED Bar 16 can do things that old-school blacklights can’t, including flicker-free 0-100 percent electronic dimming and a strobe effect. And with four operational modes – DMX-512, Sound Active, Manual or Master/Slave – it offers versatility that traditional fluorescent UV lighting can only dream of. 

The American DJ UVLED Bar 16 is 12.5” x 2.5” x 7” and weighs 5 lbs. It includes a locking IEC power plug, a convenient on/off switch on the back and a 3-button rear-panel DMX display.  The MSRP is $399.99.
