beamZ Pro LUCID 2.8 - Professional 8x30W RGBW LED Light Bar with Per Pixel Control
The beamZ Pro LUCID 2.8 is a high-performance LED light bar designed for lighting professionals, rental companies, and permanent installations. Equipped with eight powerful 30W COB (Chip on Board) LEDs, this bar delivers a total output of 240W, capable of generating both intense and uniform color wash effects and dynamic pixel effects. Thanks to advanced COB technology, the RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, and White) color mixing is flawless, producing a rich color palette without unwanted multicolored shadows. Its ability to control each LED individually opens up a world of creative possibilities for designing complex patterns, chases, and animations.
Built on a robust aluminum housing, the LUCID 2.8 is designed to withstand the demands of continuous touring and rental. Its versatility is one of its key strengths: it can operate in standalone mode, running preset programs or reacting to the beat of the music via its integrated microphone with adjustable sensitivity. For seamless integration into complex lighting systems, it offers multiple DMX channel modes. Furthermore, its innovative stand design allows it to be rotated to position the bar directly on the floor, making it an ideal solution for footlights or architectural uplighting.

-
Professional Connectivity: Equipped with DMX inputs and outputs via 3 and 5 pin XLR connectors, ensuring compatibility with any professional equipment.
-
Power Chaining: The PowerCON power input and output allows you to chain up to 8 units, simplifying wiring and saving assembly time.
-
Robust and Practical Construction: Its aluminum casing ensures durability and efficient heat dissipation, supported by a fan cooling system. It includes a control panel with an LCD screen for easy setup.
-
Versatile Mounting: The mounting bracket includes Omega quick-release fasteners and can be inverted for stable positioning on the ground, ideal for all types of applications.
Benefits for the lighting professional
The LUCID 2.8 was designed with the efficiency and creativity of lighting technicians and designers in mind. Its ability to function as a traditional wash or a dynamic pixel bar makes it a two-in-one tool that maximizes investment and space. The ease of daisy-chaining both the DMX signal and power streamlines even the most complex setups. The included infrared remote control adds an extra layer of convenience for making quick adjustments at events where immediate DMX control is unavailable.
Use cases
This LED bar is an extremely adaptable solution, perfect for a wide variety of applications:
-
Stages and Concerts: Ideal as a backlight to wash cycloramas, as a front light for the stage or to create striking visual effects directed at the audience.
-
Nightclubs and discos: Perfect for illuminating walls and dance floors with vibrant colors and animations synchronized with the music.
-
Corporate Events: Allows you to bathe spaces in the colors of a brand, create sophisticated environments or add a dynamic touch to presentations and stands.
-
Theatre Productions: Works excellently as footlights, to illuminate sets from the floor or as an integral part of a stage lighting design.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does it mean for LEDs to be individually controllable?
- This means that each of the 8 LEDs can receive a different color and brightness instruction via DMX. This allows for the creation of "pixel mapping" effects, such as color chases, text patterns, or complex animations along the bar.
- Can I use this bar without a DMX controller?
- Yes. The LUCID 2.8 includes standalone modes that run automatic programs at adjustable speeds. It also features a sound-activated mode that uses an internal microphone to sync effects with the music. Additionally, the infrared remote control allows for basic wireless operation.
- What advantage does COB (Chip on Board) technology offer?
- COB technology mounts multiple LED chips (red, green, blue, and white) very close together on a single board. This results in a more powerful light source, a much more homogeneous color mix, and the elimination of the separate color shadows that conventional LEDs can produce.
- How many LUCID 2.8 bars can I electrically connect together?
- Thanks to its power input and output connectors, it is possible to daisy-chain up to 8 LUCID 2.8 bars to a single power outlet, greatly simplifying installation and reducing the amount of cables required.
