American DJ's Accu Spot series has been a popular one, and that trend should continue with this more-professional version of their 250W moving head spotlight fixture. The Accu Spot Pro Moving Fixture will add the kind of special effects you'd expect from more expensive fixtures with more wattage, such as the Accu Spot 575. Some of the features they share are a second gobo wheel, a separate prism wheel with trapezoid prism and 3-facet prism, auto focus, shutter with pulse effect and random strobe, and 0-100% dimming.

The color wheel on the Accu Spot Pro produces 8 dichroic colors plus white. Two separate gobo wheels offer 7 static gobos and 6 rotating gobos plus spot, all of which are interchangeable. Set the unit in gobo-indexing mode, and it will automatically scroll through all the gobos”fast or slow, forwards or backwards. Other exciting Accu Spot effects include gobo shake, a shutter pulse effect, and variable strobe ranging from 1-12 flashes per second.

The separate prism wheel”outfitted with a standard 3-facet prism and brand new trapezoid prism”gives the Accu Spot Pro even more versatility than its predecessors. The rotating prism effect creates multiple images of the same gobo, allowing you to project your light shows over wide areas of the dance floor or stage. The Accu Spot Pro's motor-driven auto focusing feature lets you adjust the focus of the lens from your DMX controller, rather than on the fixture itself. This is a huge convenience, giving you more options for creating and manipulating effects, such as changing focus from near to far or blurring/sharpening gobo images on the fly.

With Remote DMX Addressing (RDMX) you can set all of the Accu Spot Pro's DMX values remotely from your console. The digital display menus navigation system is easy to operate with its four-button menu system - one each for scrolling forward, scrolling backwards, selecting a function, and exiting menus. The lighting effect comes with built-in internal programs, so it can also be run without a DMX controller in sound-active mode or daisy chained in a master-slave setup. Another convenience is X-Y automatic repositioning. If the unit accidentally gets bumped or jarred, it will automatically return to the originally set X-Y position the next time it is turned on.

Other cool features of American DJ's Accu Spot Pro include an 18 beam angle, 630 pan, and 265 tilt, stepper motors with micro stepping for smooth and precise movements, Smart Sense that automatically recognizes if the unit is in DMX or master/slave mode, and an MSD-250/2 250-watt discharge lamp rated at 1,000 hours.
