When we put regular moving heads into clubs it’s amazing how quickly they get clogged up with dust and grime, but that’s not a problem the with X1s.”

The sealed casing design also means that the internal mechanism and electronics are protected from dirt and debris. It is IP65-rated, so protected from both rain and water splashed up from the pool, and has a really good cooling system.

“We wanted a light that could perform under extreme circumstances,” states Mike, “from heavy rain to hot summer sun, and the Hydro Beam X1 was the obvious choice. Mike Piscitelli, through his company Soundworx Systems, who has worked with barCode’s owner Eddy G for around five years, was responsible for supplying and installing the ADJ Hydro Beam X1 fixtures, which were carefully selected to meet the specific needs of this flexible space. A truss structure now surrounds the pool to support the lighting, while a retractable roof allows for use all year round, and the pool can be covered to create a large dancefloor. The installation of the ADJ fixtures was part of a recent multimillion dollar renovation, which included transforming the club’s outdoor pool area into a large multi-purpose performance space. Chosen for a variety of reasons – including their compact size, intense output, and wireless DMX compatibility – the ADJ fixtures have allowed the club to level up its production to rival any in the Tri-State area.Ī versatile venue, barCode features a variety of spaces which combine to offer a total capacity of up to 5000. As part of a recent expansion of the venue’s pool area, its owner has recently purchased 100 ADJ Hydro Beam X1 IP65-rated moving head fixtures to generate an awe-inspiring lightshow. Sports bar and restaurant throughout the week and full-on nightclub at the weekends, barCode is a well-established staple of the nightlife scene in Elizabeth, NJ.
