The ADJ Encore Z7LP is a versatile and compact LED par fixture designed to deliver high-performance lighting solutions for a variety of professional settings. This fixture features a motorized zoom function that allows users to adjust the beam angle remotely via DMX, offering a variable range from a tight 5-degrees to a wide 50-degrees. The adjustable beam angle makes the Encore Z7LP suitable for both focused, tight pools of light and broader wash effects, allowing seamless transitions between different lighting scenes. With its compact design, the Encore Z7LP is perfect for rental houses, production companies, event professionals, and installation in a variety of venues, including theatres, concert halls, and churches.
The fixture’s light source consists of seven high-output 20-Watt 4-in-1 color mixing LEDs, which include red, green, blue, and lime elements. These LEDs combine to produce a wide range of vibrant colors and tunable white light, with a variable color temperature range from 2700K to 7000K. This flexibility is further enhanced by the fixture’s 16-bit fine color control, enabling precise adjustments across the color spectrum. The inclusion of the lime LED element boosts the fixture's CRI (color rendering index), ensuring accurate color reproduction, especially for skin tones and other detailed surfaces. The fixture boasts an overall CRI of 84 and a CRI R9 of 76.6, making it ideal for use in situations where color accuracy is critical, such as in performance spaces or for live events.
To further facilitate ease of use, the Encore Z7LP includes 64 built-in color macros and five preset color temperatures (2700K, 3200K, 4000K, 5600K, and 6500K), which can be quickly accessed for efficient programming. The motorized zoom feature allows for remote adjustment of the beam angle to suit different production needs. Users can also take advantage of five preset zoom angles (6°, 10°, 30°, 40°, and 50°) to quickly select popular settings. The unit's user-friendly interface is enhanced by a 16-character backlit display with four push buttons for easy navigation through the menu, as well as remote configuration options via the RDM protocol using a compatible control system.
The Encore Z7LP is equipped with a 5-pin DMX input and output, offering flexible connection options for integration into larger DMX-controlled systems. In addition to wired DMX control, the fixture features ADJ’s WiFLY EXR extended-range wireless DMX technology, allowing it to receive DMX signals wirelessly from a compatible WiFLY transmitter or another WiFLY-equipped fixture, with a range of up to 2500 feet (700 meters) in line-of-sight conditions. This makes the Encore Z7LP ideal for both permanent installations and temporary event setups where running cables may not be feasible.
For applications that do not require DMX control, the fixture can be operated in standalone mode, where users can access full color mixing and zoom control directly from the menu interface. The unit comes preprogrammed with seven automated programs, which can be selected with customizable chase speed and fade times. Multiple units can be linked together via DMX cable in a primary/secondary configuration, allowing color and mode selections to be synchronized across several fixtures. Additionally, the Encore Z7LP offers various dimming options, including six selectable dimming modes (Standard, Stage, TV, Architectural, Theatre, and Stage 2) and four dimming curves (Linear, Square, Inverse Square, and S-Curve), providing enhanced flexibility for different performance environments.
Constructed with all-metal housing, the Encore Z7LP is built to withstand the rigors of professional use while maintaining a lightweight design for easy transport. The fixture measures 8.65” x 6.5” x 9.5” and weighs just 7.5 lbs (3.45 kg), making it highly portable without sacrificing durability. Power can be supplied via a standard locking connector, and multiple units can be daisy-chained from a single power outlet, simplifying setup for larger installations. With a maximum power draw of 103W, the Encore Z7LP offers energy-efficient operation while delivering impressive output.
In summary, the ADJ Encore Z7LP is a high-performance, versatile LED par fixture that offers motorized zoom, color mixing capabilities, tunable white light, and wireless DMX control, making it a top choice for a wide range of professional lighting applications.
