Discos and clubs will be decked out in dazzling excitement when they turn on the American DJ Dekker LED. A high-energy DMX-512 LED effect, the Dekker LED projects red, green, blue and white beams from a massive grid of lenses that runs 5 high and 8 wide – for a total of 40 lenses in all!
Containing two powerful 5-watt RGBW LEDs, the Dekker LED’s brilliant output and large matrix of lenses allow for a variety of bright color effects and an action-packed light show that covers a wide area of the dance floor. Yet this easy-to-use effect is also very compact and lightweight, making it great for DJs and entertainers on the go.
The Dekker LED’s combination of eye-popping visual energy and mobile-friendliness is no accident, says Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. The effect was modeled after another legendary DJ/club light: American DJ’s world-famous Aggressor.
“You can think of the Dekker LED kind of like an Aggressor on steroids,” commented Davies. “It has the same basic grid-like design and similar appearance, but it’s got many more lenses, and upgraded professional features like DMX control. And, of course, it’s powered by LEDs, which make it extremely cool-running, energy-efficient and virtually maintenance-free.”
The fact that the Dekker LED goes beyond the typical red-blue-green LED mix to include white LEDs as well, makes for even greater excitement. Set against white LED beams, the other colors appear bolder and richer with a rainbow-like aura. Plus, when blended with the other colors, the white LEDs allow for the creation of softer pastel hues.
High-energy built-in programs, a pulsating strobe effect and 0-100% electronic dimming add to the Dekker LED’s breathtaking excitement. What’s more, users can choose between fast and slow dance programs, giving the Dekker LED the versatility to accommodate a whole night’s worth of music.
The American DJ Dekker LED can run all night without interruption, too, because its cool operating temperature eliminates the need for the on/off duty cycles that are mandatory with heat-generating halogen effects. Additionally, its long-life LEDs last much longer than halogen lamps, with a rating of 50,000 hours. Another big advantage of LED technology is energy savings; despite its high-energy performance, the ADJ Dekker LED consumes only 25 watts of power at maximum use.
To accommodate users of different levels, the Dekker LED can be operated in four different modes: DMX, Sound Active, Master/Slave or Manual. When using a DMX controller, users can further choose between 2-channel or 8-channel modes, the first giving control over programs and other basic functions, and the second adding RGBW color-mixing capabilities. An adjustable sound-active sensitivity dial allows users to set varying degrees of responsiveness to music when in Sound Active Mode. The American DJ Dekker LED can also be operated remotely with American DJ’s optional UC3 remote controller (sold separately).
The unit includes In/Out IEC power connections to daisy-chain power. It features multi-voltage operation: AC 100V-240V 47/63Hz. Compact and portable, its dimensions are 11”L x 10”W x 10.25”H/280 x 251 x 260mm, and it weighs 9 lbs./4 kg.

Equipped with built-in high-energy programs, this easy-to-use, affordable LED bar will produce thrilling, eye-popping color chases to the beat of the music, making it great for DJs, bands, clubs and bars who want to liven up their gig or venue with a burst of color.
The Color Burst 8 DMX isn’t only bigger than its predecessor, it’s also got added features: DMX control, a strobe effect and 0-100% electronic dimming. These professional tools make the American DJ Color Burst 8 DMX even more exciting and versatile, allowing users add color strobe and color fade effects and create their own programs via a DMX controller. Operating on 3 DMX channels, the unit features a 4–button LED display menu system that makes it easy to navigate through DMX settings.

For users who want total ease of operation, the LED bar can be run in Sound-Active mode as a simple plug-and-play effect, moving and chasing to its own internal programs.

“When it comes to club lighting effects, bigger is often better, which is why we developed the Color Burst 8 DMX,” said Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. “Our original RGB+A color wash bar, the Color Burst LED, has been very popular, so we wanted to take it to the next level and come out with a larger, more featured version. But at the same time, we wanted to keep the easy-operation and affordability that made the original so well-liked by working DJs, mobile entertainers, bands and small clubs. The new Color Burst 8 DMX delivers the best of both worlds.”
The Color Burst 8 DMX also delivers the same LED technology-driven benefits as its predecessor, including a cool operating temperature, which allows it to run all night without shutting down for duty cycles. Additionally, its LED bulbs have an extremely long life – 100,000 hours – which virtually eliminates the hassle and expense of lamp replacement. Its LEDs also offer the advantage of being very energy efficient, consuming just 25W of electricity maximum at full use.

It measures 28.25”L x 3”W x 5”H/16 x 72 x 127 mm. The unit comes with a hanging bracket and can be hung either horizontally or vertically, so it can fit into a variety of spaces and applications.
