Who Is This For?
- Lighting rental companies seeking fewer SKUs, faster prep, and higher utilization.
- Touring tech teams moving overnight that need repeatable looks with minimal ladder time.
- Event producers requiring reliable architectural wall wash lighting that can also punch when the show peaks.
Why N5 Cuts Setup Time
RDM: Remote Addressing & Status
Skip ladders on high or far fixtures. With RDM you can set addresses, check device state, and isolate faults faster—fewer resets, fewer climbs.
Three DMX Personalities (4/11/140-CH)
4-CH for no-console activations, 11-CH for refined corporate/live control, and 140-CH for pixel mapping/media servers. One DMX wall washer scales from casual gigs to server-driven tours.
Power/DMX In/Out Daisy-Chain
Cleaner runs and fewer distro boxes—rigs like a practical outdoor wall washer light yet performs like a show batten.
Quick Answers (for Featured Snippets)
What is a rental-ready LED wall washer?
A rental-ready LED wall washer combines 16-bit dimming, 1–30 Hz strobe, RDM, and DMX personalities (4/11/140-CH) to deliver fast rigging, even wall wash lighting, and pixel control in one IP65 unit.
How many units per stage width?
Use units = ceil(width / 3–5 m spacing). For a 12–18 m proscenium plan 6–8 units; for 20–30 m open-air plan 8–12 with symmetrical placement.
Copy-Paste Fast-Rig Presets
Opening Push
- Dimmer: fade 10% → 80% over 3 s
- Hit: white 100% for 1 s
- Settle: clean wash at 35%
Chorus / Drop
- Strobe: 18–22 Hz, bursts ≤ 2–3 s
- Pixel: wave synced to BPM (left → right)
- Base: 35–45%
Encore / Walk-out
- Pixel: slow wave
- Dimmer: 10% breathing
Camera-friendly by design: 16-bit dimming keeps fades smooth; quick accents from the 1–30 Hz strobe add energy without fatigue.
Scalable Deployments
Proscenium 12–18 m
- 6–8 units across the lip + side ladders.
- Readable pixel direction and clean LED wall wash lighting for IMAG/photos.
Open-Air 20–30 m
- 8–12 units forming a “strobe gate” or “light curtain”.
- Slow waves for ambience; strobe/chases for peaks.
Spacing Rule
- Primary look: 3–4 m spacing for premium uniformity.
-
Formula:
units = ceil(width / spacing)(typical spacing 3–5 m).
Power & Circuits
- Per-unit current: 220–240 V ≈ 1.8–2.0 A ・ 100–120 V ≈ 3.5–4.2 A
- Headroom: plan 16 A/15 A at 70–80% to leave inrush/hit margin.
- Examples: 230 V → ≤ 7–8 units on 16 A；120 V → ≤ 3–4 units on 15 A.
Treat exterior rigs like exterior wall wash lighting: weather-rated connectors, protected terminations, and drip loops on every run.
DMX Personality & Use Case
| Personality | Control Granularity | Typical Use | Ramp-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-CH | Intensity / Strobe / Macro / Speed | No-console activations, pop-ups | Easiest |
| 11-CH | Finer dimming & FX | Corporate / small-medium live gigs | Easy |
| 140-CH | Pixel-per-cell control | Media-server mapping, touring | Advanced |
Sizing & Power Cheatsheet
| Width | Spacing | Units (ceil) | Voltage | Amps/Unit | Circuit Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12–18 m stage | 3–4 m | 6–8 | 220–240 V | ~1.8–2.0 | ≤7–8 units on 16 A |
| 20–30 m open-air | 3–5 m | 8–12 | 100–120 V | ~3.5–4.2 | ≤3–4 units on 15 A |
ROI: One Type, Many Jobs
- SKU rationalization: LED wall wash lighting + 1–30 Hz strobe + pixel chases in one line item.
- Labor minutes saved: RDM and daisy-chain reduce climbs and re-patch.
- Flexibility: switch DMX personalities instead of swapping fixtures.
- B2B ops: batch pricing, OEM/ODM, and manufacturer/factory QC with export docs.
