The ADJ COB Cannon Wash Pearl is a version of ADJ’s COB Cannon Wash with a white finish. Much like its sister model, but housed in an off-white metal casing, the new ADJ COB Cannon Wash Pearl pairs COB (Chip On Board) LED technology with a wide but variable beam angle, while blending in with lightly-colored décor for a discreet wash solution. This bright wash/par fixture is designed to work as both a far-reaching color wash unit and, with the use of the included lens kit, a powerful par effect. Utilizing a single 150W quad-color (RGBA) COB LED, the COB Cannon Wash lets users produce even washes with no shadows in vivid crisp colors, for results that are truer than those achieved with regular multi-LED units.
