WiFLY Washes… Whatever the Weather!

ADJ’s WiFly QA5 IP offers DMX wireless, weatherproof wash solution for creating incredible color effects outdoors

No matter how much we want it to be, life is never like that Crowded House song; we can’t always take the weather with us – sometimes, the heavens can’t help but burst open. Because events have to be planned well in advance and because it’s impossible to predict the weather with any kind of precision, you sometimes find that during outdoor events your parade gets rained on – literally. But this doesn’t just have a negative effect on your event; it can ruin your fixtures too – should you have failed to take the right precautions.

This is where our WiFLY QA5 IP comes in. It’s a compact but powerful wash fixture designed for use outdoors. With ADJ WiFLY wireless DMX built in and an IP65 outdoor rating, the forward-thinking par fixture is also totally weatherproof for use in any conditions.

The WiFLY QA5 IP offers the power of five 5-watt quad-color (RGBA) LEDs – allowing you to create rich palettes – and, thanks to the 4-in-1 LEDs, creates no RGBA shadows; resulting in smooth color mixing. With a 40-degree beam angle and 64 built-in color macros to aid with programming, you can easily achieve incredibly vivid colors with which to wash or flood stages, architectural features or outdoor events. We’ve even given you pulse and strobe effects, so you can create the same pure lighting excitement for your guests outdoors as you would indoors.

These days, many events companies use the outdoors to enhance the experience of both their clients and their guests. Weddings are a perfect example; where a marquee may be erected in the grounds of a stately home, and lighting used to emphasize the architectural features of the building or perhaps the natural features of the gardens – as well as the actual marquee itself. This is where the QA5 IP really is in its element; it can easily be used to up-light certain architectural features, its powerful wash effect is great for lighting the walls of a building or the outside of a marquee. Then, if bad luck strikes and poor weather sets in, there’s no need to worry about the fixtures blowing or being ruined by the damp. The guests huddle in the event tent (marquee), the QA5 IPs stay where they are – and the party continues! Furthermore, with wireless DMX control available via the ADJ WiFLY Transceiver, which communicates over a distance of up to 500-feet, you could even continue to control the lights from a sheltered position when less favorable weather sets in – allowing you total control, no matter what the situation, with a choice of five DMX channel modes.

Event organizers aren’t the only ones who benefit from the QA5 IP though. If you’re an installation company then you’ll be delighted with the wireless DMX which eradicates the need to run lengthy XLR control cables, making installs using this fixture quicker, easier and neater. Production companies working on special events can also benefit from the WiFLY control, meaning that XLR cables don’t have to be run out across the ground, solving the problem of safety when it comes to guests tripping over wires. The fixture’s dual bracket yoke acts as a hanging bracket, allowing you to fix it to truss, or lets you position the unit as a freestanding fixture, making it ideal for up-lighting architectural features or event tents. What’s more, with input and output connections provided as standard, the power for up to fifteen fixtures can be linked together, further reducing trip hazards and making for faster and neater setups.
With its powerful wash effect, smooth color mixing, wireless DMX capabilities and IP65 outdoor rating, the WiFLY QA5 IP is the ultimate wash solution for event organizers, installation companies and DJs who need a fixture which will perform in any environment. So, even if you can’t take the sunny weather with you, you can always take our WiFLY QA5 IP.
