The Q50 Rainbow 2 Linear RGBX LED Lamp from Quasar Science is a 47" linear LED tube that offers multi-pixel control with a high CRI/TLCI 95 rating, an SSI daylight rating of 76, and a tungsten rating of 91. The high-efficiency LEDs blend colors and brightness for millions of available colors and intensities. The integrated Pixel software provides control over 20 pre-built effects and macros, such as Rainbow, Short Circuit, customizable Emergency Lights and much more. Each pixel can be controlled independently, or even grouped together so the lamp can operate as a single pixel.
Local, Wired, and Wireless Control
The Rainbow 2 can be controlled locally using the integrated controls and OLED screen for precise, repeatable results. The Cat 5/6 RJ45 in/out ports allow lead/follow control for multiple fixtures in an ad-hoc wired network. In addition, wireless control is available using DMX, Lumen Radio CRMX Wireless+ Bluetooth, and Artnet using Wi-Fi connectivity.
Rail Mounting System Compatibility
R2 linear LED lights come standard with a mounting rail down the back, lined with 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 female mounts. The included QS Slider and QS Baby Pin work in conjunction with the integrated rail to allow a variety of mounting options.
