American DJ Adds Gobo Projector To Popular LED Color Spot Effect

American DJ has added serious value to one of its most innovative LED lighting effects — without adding anything to the price. With the introduction of the versatile new X-Color LED GP, the company has once again proven its commitment to giving DJs, clubs and mobile entertainers greater value for their hard-earned dollar. To create the X-Color LED GP, American DJ added a gobo projector to its hugely successful X-Color LED mobile DMX color spot — resulting in a hybrid unit that can be used for multiple purposes. The new model has all of the same great features as the original color spot — including 8 brilliant colors plus white, strobe effect and high output 20W LED source — plus one gobo that users can replace with virtually any gobo pattern they desire. And just like its predecessor, the X-Color LED GP carries an attractive MSRP of $419.95. The original X-Color LED and now the X-Color LED GP are part of American DJ's acclaimed X-LED Series of fixtures, which feature a single energy-efficient, mega-bright 20W white LED light source that's powerful enough to project through a gobo wheel or color wheel like a 250W halogen or discharge lamp. As the X-LED Series' hard-edged beam shines through a gobo or color wheel, it casts razor-sharp images across floors, walls and ceilings. Plus, you get better performance, increased efficiency, cooler operation, more portability and all the other great advantages that come with modern LED technology. With the additional functionality of a gobo projector, the X-Color LED GP fits an even wider range of applications, thus giving the unit greater appeal to DJs, clubs and mobile entertainers who are operating on a budget. Use it to project the names of the bride and groom at a wedding reception, advertise drink specials at a nightclub, prominently display the company logo at a corporate banquet, or even promote the grand opening of a new retail store. Take away the gobo entirely, and you can use the X-Color LED GP as a stationary color spot effect on the stage or dance floor. "In today's economy, all of the multiple uses of our new X-Color LED GP allow DJs, bands and clubs to stretch their effects dollar further at a time when everyone is watching their wallets," said Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. "Once again, American DJ is showing its dedication to the mobile-entertainer market by developing versatile, value-added products like the X-Color LED GP." Options abound when it comes to controlling this high-performance unit. The 3-channel X-Color LED GP is completely DMX-compatible and can be operated via a standard DMX controller. It can run as a stand-alone unit while in Sound Active mode, and multiple units can be linked together Master-Slave. A 4-button menu system LED display makes the X-Color LED GP super easy to navigate. It can also be operated via American DJ's UC3 universal remote controller (sold separately). "With its many exciting features, 250-watt brightness, compact size and affordable price tag, the X-Color LED GP is perfect for a wide range of lighting users — everyone from DJs, bands and traveling performers to bars and small nightclub venues," said Davies. "Its huge LED is bright enough to work with or without fog, which makes it great for weddings and other gigs where fog machines are taboo." Because its LED lamp generates very little heat, the X-Color LED GP can run continuously all night long with no duty cycles. Other LED advantages include an extremely long lamp life (50,000 hours), high beam intensity and low power draw. It consumes only a fraction of the energy of a 250W halogen effect, saving clubs big-time on electricity and allowing more fixtures to be hooked up to a single circuit. The X-Color LED GP measures 7.87" x 6" x 6.7" and weighs 5.3 lbs. It comes equipped with a hanging bracket, so it's ready to install right out of the box. To see the X-Color LED GP in action go to:
