[NAMM] American DJ Spherion TRI LED

This new rotating centerpiece utilizes American DJ’s TRI LEDs. Powered by five 3-watt TRI LED sources, the Spherion TRI LED projects through 116 small lenses, while rotating 360°, to fill a room with beams of multi-colored light. Using 1.8° stepper motors, the sphere’s rotation speed can be controlled from fast to slow. The Spherion TRI LED comes with onboard strobing and dimming effects that can be added to ramp up (or down) the energy level, while its beam angle spreads light over 270°. According to American DJ, the fixture draws 27 watts of power maximum.

Users can choose from 3 modes: Sound-Active, Master/Slave and DMX. The unit comes with built-in sound-activated programs that can be accessed by plugging it in and turning it on, or by creating your own customized light show using a standard DMX-512 controller. When used with DMX, there are 3 channels for controlling Rotation Speed/Direction, Dimmer/Strobe and Color, or you can operate the unit in single-channel DMX Mode. Additionally, multiple Spherion TRI LED units can be linked together and run Master/Slave. Another control option is to use American DJ’s UC3 universal remote control (sold separately).

The Spherion TRI LED comes with rubber feet that allow it to be set on a floor or table, and also includes a removable bracket for hanging on a wall or ceiling. It features multi-voltage operation — 100V-240V, 50–60HZ (IEC input only).
