Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Performance: Introducing The ADJ Vintage Bar
Designed to ignite lighting designers’ creativity, the new Vintage Bar from ADJ is a decorative blinder packed with potential. Fusing vintage charm with contemporary sophistication, this eye-catching fixture offers a potent central strip of amber blinder COB LEDs surrounded by a textured reflector illuminated by RGBL color mixing LEDs. With zone control allowing for animated chase effects and a variety of rigging options, it is a versatile tool for creating distinctive concert, stage and event designs.
At the heart of the Vintage Bar is a strip comprised of four independently controllable 150-Watt amber (2000K) COB LEDs. Offering smooth dimming control as well as variable speed strobing, these LEDs can generate dazzlingly bright blinder hits – with an output of up to 27,000 lumens – as well as dynamic chase patterns and subtle glow effects. A textured reflector panel surrounds the primary LEDs, which maximizes their impact and generates a wide field angle of 160°.
The reflector panel is surrounded on all four sides by 0.8-Watt SMD 5050 RGBL color mixing LEDs, which create a vibrant background glow effect. In total, 120 of these LEDs are integrated into each unit, grouped into 20 independently controllable zones. This allows for dynamic ‘eye-candy’ effects to be programmed, either within a single fixture or running across multiple units.
Versatile mounting options allow the Vintage Bar to be deployed in a variety of different ways and integrated seamlessly into stage designs or lighting rigs. The fixture is supplied with a pair of heavy-duty adjustable feet, which mount securely to the body of the unit, locked in place by large thumb tightening screws. The feet can be used to stand the unit directly on a stage in a vertical orientation, but also feature 108mm omega clamp receivers, which can be used to rig it to a truss or lighting bar. Multiple units can also be locked together – end-to-end – using a tongue and groove system, secured by locking pins, built into each side of the fixture. One or two (locked together) units can be mounted to the Accu-Stand VFB base plate, using the dedicated VFB1-VBA adapter, allowing for free-standing vertical deployment.
Measuring 908 x 292 x 257mm (L x W x H), the Vintage Bar is a significant fixture that makes a real impact on stage. However, despite its size and rugged build quality, it still weighs in at an easily manageable 19 kg. It features locking power sockets as well as a choice of 5-pin DMX or RJ45 signal connections, with all input sockets located on one side and the corresponding thru sockets on the other to aid with cable management.
An OLED display on the unit’s rear panel provides access to a menu-driven interface that allows easy and intuitive setup and configuration. It is compatible with the sACN and Art-NET protocols, as well as standard DMX with RDM support and a choice of 10 modes utilizing between 5 and 97 channels. The fixture is also equipped with Aria X2 wireless technology, allowing remote configuration and OTA firmware updates via Bluetooth as well as reliable wireless DMX control.
“The Vintage Bar is more than just a blinder – it’s a creative statement piece,” comments Alfred Gonzales, ADJ USA’s Director of Sales. “By combining a classic warm white blinder with vibrant RGBL color mixing background glow effects, it offers lighting designers a fresh and dynamic tool for crafting atmosphere, energy, and visual impact.”
The Vintage Bar is shipping now from ADJ USA and is due to arrive in stock at ADJ Europe in late September 2025.
