The “LEDPAR,” as it’s still inaccurately called, is one of the most versatile and widely used fixtures in the audiovisual industry for live stage and event production, and by rental companies of all sizes. It’s the practical, easy-to-deploy “go-to light source” for many situations and various applications.
It is often a small fixture with modest power. The evolution of LED technology, however, allows it to achieve impressive lighting feats, both in terms of light output/impact and technical quality. Some units stand out, but they are not numerous. Here is one that promises great things, boasting a 420-watt RGBL LED engine in a weatherproof housing. OXO, as is their custom, has released an effective and impactful fixture named the ColorZoom 420. Let’s see what it has under the hood, all set up in the LA BS studio.
